Stupid Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne and Russian agent Maria Butina...
CLAIM 9-3/ It's also unclear why Byrne's first interview was with far-right "journalist" Sara Carter—who's pushed the "Spygate" hoax Trump allies are desperately hoping will eclipse his crimes—and why his second and third interviews went to Trump-allied Fox News and Fox Business.

(PS/ Byrne makes clear that he considers it an op—to wit, political espionage—when the FBI pays attention to or ignores a potential crime only for political reasons, so in caring about HRC crimes but not Trump crimes in July 2015, Byrne contends the FBI was running an op on HRC.)

(THREAD) It's time to separate fact from fiction in the case of Patrick Byrne, Maria Butina, Trump Jr. and a cadre of FBI agents and leaders. This is a still-developing story—but problematic reporting and Byrne's bad framing are muddling events. I hope you'll read on and retweet. pic.twitter.com/VJdexuI8I3

On Thursday, Byrne appeared on Fox Business to explain himself. It didn’t help. At all. https://t.co/3jJFtZWAsG
