"The State Department and its counter-messaging arm, the Global Engagement Center, wanted so badly to create the impression Banks acted in service of Russian propaganda that they forgot to use the original Banks quote, instead re-translating the Russian version back to English. This resulted in the quote being reproduced incorrectly, ironic given GEC’s ostensible mission."

What a perfect snapshot of this country's institutional and "elite"/"expert"-class corruption. At this point they merit as much trust as an untrained dog alone in the kitchen with a plate of cheese left out on the counter, and like that dog, they're too stupid to cover their own tracks.

And our “elites” keep stepping in that pile and tracking it all over the house, and lack the brains & self-awareness to understand why the normals are disgusted by them.
