If Drudge really did sell the Drudge Report, then he may or may not have editorial control of it’s content anymore. And so he may or may not have changed his own personal views towards Trump or politics in general.
My thought is, there’s a million fish in the sea. If you don’t like one website, go to a different one.
Still. It’s undeniable that over a span of 20+ years, the “Drudge Report” made itself one of the most- (if not THE most) heavily-trafficked websites in the world by highlighting the stories that MSM wanted to ignore. And then, about a year ago, Drudge Report suddenly started ignoring those stories, too. Reasons unclear.

Or at least conspiracy to commit treason. He was attempting to undermine a duly elected president.
It's technically sedition, not treason. But point well taken.

Andrew Weismann has been tweeting like mad, while getting bent over on the facts. This guy seems to be squirming really hard.

What's he even squirming about? The crooked lawyer Clinesmith pleaded GUILTY. ow
And as far as I know, before one of the resident rats chime in, No, he wasn't being threatened with bankruptcy or his son being arrested or shaken down.
Matter of fact, I don't recall the armored RV, the helicopter, frogmen or VFNN being present when they kicked in the door of a real criminal. Funny, that.

Well, he said he was just trying to clarify the original message.
Comments like that are why many people don’t trust lawyers.
Professional liars. Those that are really good at it become politicians, where all the $$ is.

Molly mentions Steve Somma as another potential target while discussing Clinesmith.
"...The Supervisory Agent said he understood Clinesmith’s comment about not having to draft a “terrible footnote” to mean the team wouldn’t have to explain late in the process how they “just now come to determine that [Page] was an asset of the [other agency] and probably being tasked to engage … [with] Russians which is … why we opened a case on him.” He told Horowitz that he understood Clinesmith to be saying, that “‘the optic…would be terrible'” if the prior FISA applications were ‘dubious’ in light of a relationship between Page and the other agency, and the FBI was only becoming aware of that relationship in the third renewal application and after Page’s public statements.”
All this and more was characterized by New York Times report Adam Goldman’s sources as a mere “mistake” to which Clinesmith for some reason pleaded guilty.
In large part because of their role as co-conspirators in the Russia collusion hoax, the media move to downplay the facts surrounding the hoax even when they must be conceded, such as when individuals involved plead guilty to crimes, or when reports from independent investigators catalogue 17 major errors and omissions.
That all four the applications to spy on Page failed to include the key exonerating information of his role as a source to U.S. intelligence is major news, even as the Pulitzer winners try to pretend otherwise."

Yates has sure covered herself. She was the one who thought she set policy and refused to follow the President's orders on immigration and got fired. I figured she was one of the resistance leaders. But she makes it sound like she stayed in bounds until she became insubordinate on immigration.

Weismann is in hip deep.
He had his hands on the Steele Dossier, knew it was fake, then join Mueller's team to prove it's authenticity.
