    "John Solomon, the former opinion writer at The Hill whose columns were seen as a central part of a smear campaign against former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, failed to identify "important details" about his sources — including that they were under investigation or indictment and were even his attorneys, according to a review of his work by his former colleagues."

    "In its review of 14 columns, The Hill's news team said serious doubts about the credibility of Solomon's Ukrainian sources were evident even before his interviews with them"

    "In certain columns, Solomon failed to identify important details about key Ukrainian sources, including the fact that they had been indicted or were under investigation. In other cases, the sources were his own attorneys," The Hill concluded."

    "Solomon's columns were routinely amplified by Trump and featured on Fox News' prime-time opinion shows. They also formed a significant part of the rebuttal to the House's impeachment charges by Trump's allies in Congress and his legal team."

    Forget Trump, but is little Jimmy Jordan, Matty Gaetz , Dougie Collins, and twilight Uber to the White House Devon Nunes now going to acknowledge now they employed distorted data in their endless soliloquies on live TV to the American public during the House investigations?

    And this guy was a common "regular contributor" on FOX and nearly a standard if not cited often on Hannity, not that either of them would ever offer recognition of Solomon's dishonesty

    All you need for the right is one good fabrication and the innuendos will fly

    His “reporting” that used sources like indicted crooks and their lawyers, are the extent of the “evidence” dirty don used to go after the Bidens.

    It worked, for a solid week the echoed his "findings" as part of a defense for Trump, seems to be the axiom on the right, lie or not, repeat it enough times and their base will believe it as fact
