I’d call it either Stockholm syndrome or being co-opted.
Re-read B’s posts on the FBI. I haven’t seen any mainstream or “conservative” outlets saying Priestap, Stzrok, and Page are cooperating witnesses.
Sundance, over at The Conservative Treehouse, has been saying that for months.
Sundance was reporting weeks ago that Priestap and Page were cooperating. It became clear from something that was released involving the committee and the IG, but I don’t recall what specifically made clear that such was the case. No MSM outlets picked up on it. As for Strzok, I don’t recall if anyone has said that he is cooperating before, but since he is still employed, it makes sense that it is because he is cooperating.
