I'd agree.   Yet I've come to expect certain sources to be constantly trying to impugn  real stories.  These days there's organized counter-writers doing business by trying to poke holes into stories which may have any anti-left impacts.   Takes a bit of analysis and looking at who are the players involved -- to see weaknesses in these attacks.

So here's some things I noticed.  

The Daily Beast is firmly supporting the Dems & the far left.  Sorry Beast you've missed the mark -- your criticisms are invalid against Lt General Thomas McInerney, former NYPD Commissioner Bernie Kerik and Larry Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch.  All are respected public watchdogs. 

Others they tried to impugn were Lou Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo, John Soloman, attorney Sidney Powell, and retired Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio.  Seems they're know Repub supporters.  Not a surprise they're some of the left's targets.

YUP There's plenty of interesting stuff being written there about Dennis Morgan.  Maybe he's a gambler, maybe not.  Could be true, could be fake.  Would need more analysis to prove either way.  BUT --Folks also need to consider that much of this story grew out of an article in Playboy.  And the Wiki write up regarding Dennis Montgomery also dated Playboy magazine as its early originating source.

Yet I noticed extreme weakness in how this article gives little mention to the 47 hard drives turned over to the FBI per an arranged agreement.  This fact they've omitted sounds like a good fit with some super-computer operation that really existed, -- despite the slant of the entire article that the supercomputer doesn't exist. Seems a big flaw in their version of these matters.  I'd suggest The American Report version appears much more factual.

Finally a reader loses all respect for the entire article, at its conclusion  --- where they are praising Twitter efforts  " to hinder the spread of the (so-called) disinformation."   THAT'S CENSORSHIP !!!!!!

Smells like kettle of rotten fish --  A story loaded, big time, with LEFTY BIAS
