Conversations with officials familiar with documents of this type, we believe that a u.s. citizen s name would never appear in a document like this. even if the typos and the weird spacing and the other odd stuff has snuck through for some reason. an american citizen name would not have snuck through, not at this level of an nsa report. that our document contains an american name spelled out, that says to experienced people who have worked with this stuff that what we got is forged. it s fake. which is interesting if you work on this show. this is news because why is someone shopping a forged document of this kind to news organizations covering the trump-russia affair? last week three journalists resigned from their jobs at cnn after that network retracted a story they had written about the trump administration. cnn says the sourcing of that ....

Story. not your typical news story, not your particular scoop. but i think it s important. one of the few times we ve ever had a scoop on the show where i feel like i need to send up this like a flare for other news organizations in particular. that s part of what i m intending to do with part of this story tonight. here it goes. we have this thing we have been doing on our show for a while now that s called www.sendittorachel.com. basically if you want to get in touch with us, give us a tip or send us a document you can do so via that website. we get tons of stuff like that. we get information about local political fights that otherwise aren t getting national coverage. we get a lot of information about bad behavior by elected officials. we occasionally get news about really good behavior by elected officials that has gone unnoticed, we get anonymous tips and documents too. ....
