Admits he did not have first hand source when he talked about UK surveillance, only second-hand.

a slur against caucasians?

The point I am making is why would it matter what his opinion is, since it is not particularly reliable.

This is equivalent to asking a known liar, such as say trump, what his opinion is. It has no credibility

It matters because he threw Fox News and Napolitano under the bus. Brian Stelter was really going after him and exposing his bullshit.

Johnson was considered a trusted source here at DU, and somewhat lionized

don't take my word for it....there are lots of threads/discussions wrt his role defending them and confronting the BFEE

took me about 5 seconds of typing to find some

I am NOT defending what he seems to have become at this point; just adding a bit of historical perspective

On Reliable Sources with STELTER, he says his wingnut chat group of intel retirees is made up of "the spectrum from right to left," that he has been critical of all presidents not out to get OBAMA, that he put out his blatherings on RT which "nobody listens to, it only got into the media when NAPOLITANO put it out there," that his only contact with Andy NAP was when the NAP called him yesterday to ask him to talk to the NY Times, that DRUMPF should not have used the word "wire tap" in his (slander).

The effrontery, this creep laughed at different points, acted all the media expert, how he was even fired by Fox because AILES didn't like something or other about him.


This was on t.v. This is a summary of what I saw. I do not have a clip or video.
