34. More Raw Story bullshit....

..... "But unlike others targeted by Mr. Trump, Mr. Smith still could inflict damage on the president by revealing unreleased evidence." This is mere speculation on the part of the NYT simply to make the point that there is a significant difference between him and others that have been targeted by DOJ. There is nothing in Smith's remarks that indicate that he has such evidence or that, if he did, that he would release release it.

.... "He appears unfazed by the prospect of shifting from accuser to accused." Once again, this is merely an impression of the reporter. It is true that his remarks were those of an accuser. And he certainly seemed unfazed. OK. So what?

The NYT report went a bit over the line here, and Raw Story picked up the ball and ran with it.
