York said nothing about White House strategists. For some reason, this author made that part up.

Grant is NOT QUOTING York when he says 'White House strategists.' What Grant is saying is that at least some of the confirmation observers that York was referring to, were White House strategists.

[William McKinley]

1) His statement is that York said White House strategists said something. This is false. Anyone who can read can see this.

2) Unless Grant can read York's mind, Grant has no way of knowing if the confirmation observers are White House strategists or not. It is what Grant imagines, nothing more.

3) Grant said that these observers were wondering if Pryor was trying to torpedo the President's judicial agenda. There is nothing to support this assertion.

4) Not only that, but Grant said that York said these observers were wondering if Pryor was trying to derail the President's judicial agenda.

This article reads to me like a hit piece masquerading as a positive article. Grant was being either terribly sloppy or deceptive. Either way, it is wrong. And anyone with any objectivity who reads what Grant wrote and compares it to what York wrote will see that.
