Little doubt the FBI investigation will trickle down to Glenn Greenwald at The Intercept, Zero Hedge, the Ron Paul Institute, Nomi Prins, Naked Capitalism, Lew Rockwell, Global Research, antiwar.com, and to others on the PropOrNot, Harvard Library, and Le Monde lists, such as top Reagan administration officials David Stockman and myself. It is extraordinary that the FBI is so desperate to protect the budget of the military/security complex that it brings such embarrassment to itself. Who in the future will believe any FBI report or anything a FBI official says?

Those behind this "investigation" understand that it is so ridiculous that they must give it gravity and credibility. They selected two reporters, Peter Stone and Greg Gordon, in the McClatchy News Washington Bureau, who fit Udo Ulfkotte's definition of "bought journalists." Hiding behind anonymous sources—"two people familiar with the inquiry" and "sources who spoke on condition of anonymity"—the presstitutes fell in with the attack on independent media, reporting that one former US intelligence official said: "This may be one of the most highly impactful information operations in the history of intelligence." http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/white-house/article139695453.html
