No doubt about it; Podesta is shitting his pants about the story picking up and tomorrow's announcement. Practically every other sentence has the words "absurd," "lies," "bogus," "debunked," "insane," or "preposterous" peppered throughout them. They even misrepresent Pizzagate at the end to try to discredit the Rich investigation by association.

As if that's not bad enough, they insist we're causing "real harm" and should apologize for wanting to find the truth. What even is this "real harm" they keep talking about?

Journalist note: "By Editorial Board". On "opinion". lol. Fake news, "So overused and misused is the phrase", carrying no name to blame.

By no surprise, "pizzagate" got yet another mention. With the same debunked article link. Wonder how many times they've linked that - must have been important. lol

Topic "The absurd conspiracy theory ... causes real harm " is so strongly sourced in the article too: "They are lies. They do great harm." lol

This news is debunked even without a need to fact check. Thanks WaPo for what you're doing to the ethics of journalism too. Sad.
