How we graded the claims built on their work
2 FACT · 2 PROBABLY TRUE · 2 SOME SMOKE. A grade is our reading of the public record on one claim, not a verdict on the person.
- Jonathan Pollard: the largest documented US intelligence theft on behalf of a foreign ally →
Clinton nearly commuted Pollard's sentence at Wye River in 1998, and Tenet's resignation threat stopped it.
FACT - The Stadium Double Standard →
Principle or selection? The inconsistency is documented; the motive behind it is the open question.
SOME SMOKE - The Wrong Villain →
The attacker’s own posts, as reported, cut against the story built on top of them.
PROBABLY TRUE - Israeli Influence on the United States →
Urban Moving Systems and the five Israelis on the roof
PROBABLY TRUE - The 'Dancing Israelis': anatomy of an antisemitic 9/11 smear →
What keeps it from a clean nothing: the employer fled, and mainstream outlets reported a possible intelligence front.
