Were you shocked to discover that the original funding for the totally BS Trump dossier was the Washington Free Beacon?

I was at least very surprised myself, if not shocked, by this revelation, given the Free Beacon’s record of honest reporting with a conservative slant.

Well, this should ease your troubled soul a bit and bring the seemingly unbelievable into sharp focus.

The Washington Free Beacon’s Editor-in-Chief is Matt Continetti, who is also the son-in-law of one of America’s most ardent Trump-haters, Bill Kristol.

That’s right, the swamp rats are inbreeding. We will now start seeing all manner of gnarly swamp mutants.
