> [@wolfpup](#): > > AFAICT the only thing he is guilty of is holding what I would regard as far-right views (not “alt-right”, just radically and unapologetically conservative). He is otherwise a thoughtful and well-informed poster. This is no longer true and may never have been. Now he latches onto any right wing conspiracy theory that fits his world view and holds onto it like a dog with a bone. For example, with the Michael Sussmann indictment he fell hook line and sinker for the completely unsupported conspiracy theory that the Alfa Bank story originated with the Clinton campaign. Even at the time this was obvious bullshit and posters pointed that out to Sam. He would not be swayed by facts and assured us that the truth would come out at trial and we would see. And we did see. We saw that there was legitimately anomalous data that did not originate with the Clinton campaign and Sussmann was right to bring this to the FBI. And yet after the trial Sam is still making posts like this… > [@The Durham indictments prosecuting fake Trump 'collusion'](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-durham-indictments-prosecuting-fake-trump-collusion/951215/371): > > I don’t think the facts are disputed, which is that Sussmann presented material that originated from the Hillary campaign without disclosing it. Utter bullshit. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-serious-question-for-sam-stone-on-factual-errors/955881)._
