Even those of us who strongly support Trump probably at times wonder "what the hell has happened here?". The entire story of the Deep State trying to drag down Trump is so obvious, so well documented that it seems impossible that most people are not outraged about it. But the left are shameless. Taibbi, though he is a leftist is still a journalist first, and has noticed what's been happening, and is outragted. So, finally some confirmation for the question I keep asking myself:
Shouldn't everyone be outraged by this like I am?
Why aren't they?
When did the Left utterly collapse and become shills for the CIA?
Like many others here, I remember when the Left hated the CIA and took them with a very heavy (and healthy) does of skepticism. Events like the overthrow of the Shaw, MK-Ultra, the findings of the Church commission, would be thrown at anyone suggesting the CIA was a useful organization for the country.
Taibbi has not forgotten those events, nor has he lost his intrinsic fairness compass. By simply asking "what if this had been done to Obama" he is able to show the utter hypocrisy and tribalism of the vast majority of mainstream "journalists".
I would also highly recommend sending this article to any liberal friends who subscribe to Rolling Stone. Taibbi has been one of their most featured writers for almost a decade now, yet this piece, and several others are published on his blog. I suspect his deviance from the Leftist consensus has just become to great for his editors to continue publishing, so he's taken to self-publishing. Ask them: Do you know who Matt Taibbi is? Do you like his writing? Then hit them with: HERE, READ THIS!
One other article on the site is also excellent: his full-throated denuniciation of the Mueller probe, at its conclusion is here:
Russiagate was journalist QAnon (Part 1)
By the way there is no mention of QAnon at all in this article. It is only used in the title as a shorthand for: "being taken in by a huge baseless conspiracy theory". (Which I am well aware many believe is an incorrect view of Q)
Regardless it is one of the hardest takedowns of the media and their embrace of Muh Russia I have read from any source, Leftist, supposed Centrist, or Right Wing. 
Even paranoiacs have enemies, and even Donald “Deep State” Trump is a legitimately elected president whose ouster is being actively sought by the intelligence community.
