Spreading Misinformation to Manipulate the FBI and Department of Justice
The tactic involves feeding false information to multiple sources, such as the FBI and Department of Justice, to create a narrative of Russian collusion. By having several people propagate the same fabricated story, the agencies eventually accept it as true due to the numerous sources. This strategy includes using intermediaries like Fusion GPS to disseminate false information via emails, in this case by Nellie Ohr, who was married to a high-ranking official in the Justice Department, Bruce Ohr. This process of spreading misinformation highlights the potential dangers and manipulation that can occur within government institutions.
