Max Stier is the NAME used to generate ccusation 2.0, but the NYT said their source was “2 FBI officials” (not Agents, officials). Has anyone asked Stier himself whether he was a direct witness of anything? If so, where can that statement be found on the internet?
What I have seen is at best hearsay, and more likely creative writing. The story has been set up to prevent successful litigation, the Mark of the Lawfare Beast.
Max Stier’s wife, Florence Yu Pan, was nominated for U.S. District Judge of D.C. by Obama in 2016. She passed the Senate Judiciary by voice vote, but never came up for a final vote. This is a very little reported fact. Do you think Max might bear a little animosity?
