NYT: Manafort was on the calls w/ the Russian intelligence officials.
FBI: “We are unaware of any calls with any Russian govt official in which Manafort was a party.” pic.twitter.com/mUqk9d1fHA

Fascinating to see real-time FBI assessment of inaccurate reporting.
Comey also disputed the story in June 2017.
Despite Comey denial, NYT stood by their sources: the “current and former” US officials leaking false info. pic.twitter.com/EOH0wb0kZv

More information:
The 2/2017 outlandish NYT story that the Trump team had “repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials” was a transparently dishonest attempt to fuel the Russiagate narrative in its early stages (https://t.co/JpZw9UdhDQ).
Now the FBI’s own docs confirm it: https://t.co/CParrcwfgV

Reporters on this story were @nytmike @MarkMazzettiNYT @mattapuzzo . They should have retracted it long ago — when Comey denied it under oath in spring 2017 & when Mueller produced zero evidence of it & in fact undermined it. I don’t see how they can justify leaving it up.

This is one of countless sad cases where mainstream reporters could have questioned, and dug into, why they were being leaked transparently false claims about an illicit Trump-Russia relationship. Instead they acted as stenographers for their sources’ fictional narrative.

Q for @Comey: new FBI docs show Strzok wrote: “We are unaware of ANY Trump advisors engaging in conversations with Russian intelligence officials.”
This was after FBI knew @GeorgePapa19 spoke to Mifsfud.
So why, 2 years later, did you claim that Mifsud is “a Russian agent”? pic.twitter.com/Od5IGoyeau
— Aaron Maté (@aaronjmate) July 17, 2020
Did you discover some new evidence about Mifsud that Strzok & the FBI didn’t have back in 2017, or were you making a false claim? It’s one or the other.
At minimum, this is more evidence FBI launched the Trump-Russia probe on a predicate that was missing a key element: Russia.

The fact that FBI privately admitted in early 2017 that
“[w]e have not seen evidence of” & “are unaware of ANY Trump advisors engaging in conversations with” Russian intel is more evidence that intel officials/Mueller team fed public a false narrative. https://t.co/QzZ7JfJzT4— Aaron Maté (@aaronjmate) July 17, 2020
NYT: “We stand by our reporting” of 2017 that Trump team had “repeated contacts w/ senior Russian intel officials.”
This despite news that Russia probe’s lead agent refuted it (oh, & zero evidence has emerged since). On what grounds do they stand by it? https://t.co/uxfXe4Rp1a pic.twitter.com/mGzpJ4mjWz
