A journalist sacked by the Kremlin-funded Sputnik news network claimed that right-wing U.S. outlets regularly disseminate fake news and conspiracy theories touted by the site.
In an appearance on MSNBC’s The Beat with Ari Melber Tuesday, former White House correspondent Andrew Feinberg accused Sputnik of being “foreign propaganda, not news.”
He went on to claim that Sputnik’s influence on right-wing, pro-Trump, news websites is pervasive: “Many of the most popular articles about things like WikiLeaks and pizzagate and other conspiracy theories were prominently featured on the Sputnik website,” said Feinberg.
“And they get picked up by other American outlets – by Infowars, Breitbart and Gateway Pundit – right-wing media outlets, and Sputnik functions as part of this right-wing media ecosystem.”
The interview came after Feinberg was interviewed by FBI agents investigating alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, and probing whether Sputnik violates laws requiring foreign agents to register with the Justice Department.

"warrants that are never correct?" are you serious???
these aren't every day common criminal warrants they are FISA -which robbed Page of his Constitutional rights
and a Whistleblower - protected under law/ -in the FISA case especially it was done in a pre-calculated manner
to use unverified Steele dossier!
Why are you minimizing these? these are egregious Constititonal/Congressional protections!

who cares what Richard Pollock of The Daily Caller News Foundation accuses the FBI of?
are you desperate or what?
I don’t know, but I can’t believe all the scrutiny the FBI and DOJ is under that they didn’t inform her. Cain’s lawyer is the only one speculating the magistrate wasn’t informed, and you know lawyers...
what started under Sessions?
can you just be clear on your referennces?
Lol, see, you are still trying to peddle the Carter Paige bs, you are a hack"warrants that are never correct?" are you serious???

good gawd.. If the magistrate was informed it was a whistle-blower case..do you think a warrant would have been issued for stolen docs??? no.
It depends on the reasoning the FBI offered to justify it. I think you should stop speculating, it ends up
embarrassing you.
you are willfully ignorant of FISA requirements.
Only documented and verified information may be used to support FBI applications to the court.
WHAT justification can be used to interfere with whistleblowers?
The field agents were also informed when they went to the house...
You nor I have the FISA warrants, until we do, it’s just speculation.

Ok, let’s say she was informed.
It still gives the appearance that they violated the Whistle Blower Protection Act. Cain is either protected under it or he isn’t. If he isn’t, why is the ‘why not?’ such a big secret?
Why aren’t the Fake Newsers the least bit curious about it?
They got hot after Flynn for ‘violating the Logan Act’ lol. I’ll wager half of them didn’t even know it was an archaic federal law that sat dead on the books for almost two centuries—but yeah.
Are the Fake Newsers using the funeral of HW to keep it buried?
bs.
we know the heavy reliance on Steele -there is also the Woods procedure required by the FBI
FBI violate Woods Procedures
https://thehill.com/opinion/campaig...ses-question-did-fbi-violate-woods-procedures
There’s no dispute that at least some, if not a great deal, of information in the anti-Trump “Steele dossier” was unverified or false. Former FBI director James Comey testified as much himself before a Senate committee in June 2017. Comey repeatedly referred to “salacious” and “unverified” material in the dossier, which turned out to be paid political opposition research against Donald Trump funded first by Republicans, then by the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign.
Presentation of any such unverified material to the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court to justify a wiretap would appear to violate crucial procedural rules, called “Woods Procedures,” designed to protect U.S. citizens.
Yet Comey allegedly signed three of the FISA applications on behalf of the FBI. Deputy Director Andrew McCabe reportedly signed one and former Attorney General Sally Yates, then-Acting Deputy Attorney General Dana Boente and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein each reportedly signed one or more.
Woods Procedures
Woods Procedures were named for Michael Woods, the FBI official who drafted the rules as head of the Office of General Counsel’s National Security Law Unit. They were instituted in April 2001 to “ensure accuracy with regard to … the facts supporting probable cause” after recurring instances, presumably inadvertent, in which the FBI had presented inaccurate information to the FISA court.
Most likely because there is nothing to see, just like the nothing burger on Paige’s warrants.

Lots of Obama holdovers.
Sessions is a good man. But he was weak

how could she have been informed it was a whistleblower doc -and still issue the warrant?
Maybe the FBI lied that the docs were in danger? something doesn't fit.

If only we had more investigative journalists we wouldn’t have to guess.
