A journalist known best for publishing "The Twitter Files" and his work chronicling the Occupy Wall Street protests claimed in a new Substack report he was privy to evidence of an Obama-era "political espionage" campaign not unlike the one its purported target Donald Trump long suspected.
Matt Taibbi, who published the report with fellow Twitter Files journalist Michael Shellenberger and reporter Alex Gutentag, further told Fox News the narrative of Trump-Russia collusion had the same hallmarks of the Bush-era Iraqi weapons of mass destruction (WMD) claims.
On "Jesse Watters Primetime," host Jesse Watters covered the contents of the report extensively, reporting Obama-era CIA Director John Brennan asked English-speaking U.S. allies to target the Trump campaign in 2016 and that foreign intelligence services were offered a list of 26 Trumpworld figures who could be "bumped" or encountered by intelligence assets.
Watters surmised one such individual was likely George Papadopoulos, a former campaign staffer who later pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators amid a probe in which he was approached while abroad by operatives who offered "dirt" on Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton.
