Expand You misquoted me, like you misquoted Trump yesterday and ran here to do so. If you read the quote you linked I was responding to Tom's quote on a specific point. But details don't matter when cognitive dissonance is kicking your ass over and over and over again. You remain terrible at this whole "reading comprehension" thing.

Greg definitely has a preference for conspiracies - if I had to guess, it's more because his writers' background biases him towards nicely wrapped-up plots. And in the greater context of his two years' of posts, it might end up being the same thing. But 1) he does present facts and derive theories from them, not the other way around (usually - the pipe non-bomber is a notable exception), and 2) he is amenable to correction. Neither is a trait held by true conspiracy theorists. Plus, while he may have posited two conspiracy theories, to posit is not to argue in favor of. I posit things I don't believe all the time, as should anyone with a pretense of rationality. It's a necessary step in falsifying hypotheses. 1 1

My popcorn got soggy waiting for that one so I'll pop a fresh bowl. Expand It's likely to start with McCabe and Strzok, and will roll up from there. That's where the mounds of evidence points. As to HRC, the evidence of her malfeasance was more than enough to prompt House Judiciary Chair Bob Goodlatte to demand her indictment or the resignations of both Loretta Lynch and James Comey.

He collects evidence, analyses it, and develops a theory to explain it and predict future evidence that may appear. That his theories are often crackpot (but not universally, which is an important point) does not make him irrational. What's more, like I said, he has and does accept criticism of his theories (you'll note that I provided just that above: stating that conspiracy theories are the crutch of the intellectually immature) and even change his mind. You should also note that, in "proving" he's "promoting" conspiracy theories, from his list of "theories in order of possibility," you cherry picked the "false flag" theory that he specifically considered least possible, and specifically by a wide margin, below three others. 1
