Maddow Reports That Someone Is Shopping Fake Russia Documents
[Watch the segment below]
Rachel Maddow opened her show with a big bombshell Russia story – but it’s not what you think.
Maddow reports that someone is shopping forged NSA documents about the Russia investigation.
“Someone is shopping carefully forged documents to discredit news organizations,” she said.
Maddow noted that “It appears to be a cut and paste forgery using The Intercept NSA document as a template.”
Maddow noted the recent episode of the CNN staffers who were forced to resign after they retracted a story about a Trump supporter.
“And, so, head’s up, everybody, this is what I mean by an inside-out scoop,” Maddow continued.
“Somebody, for some reason, appears to be shopping a fairly convincing fake NSA document that purports to directly implicate somebody from the Trump campaign in working with the Russians on their attack on the election. It is a forgery. Let me caveat, either it’s a forgery or every NSA source we consulted with is wrong. I don’t know if the Trump administration worked with Russia or not…we don’t know whether it happened or not. Not yet.”
