So, as we told you late last night and this morning, Tucker Carlson kicked arse so much in his interview with Newsweek’s Kurt Eichenwald that Eichenwald took to Twitter to melt down. Bigly. The tweets were chock-a-block with nuttiness. Eichenwald then bravely ran away, natch, and deleted the tweets. But wait! He then returned for more, and then claimed that he suffered a seizure from a GIF sent to him in reply on Twitter. Oh boy.
But back to Kurt Eichenwald’s claims. One was that he evidently has a secret binder full of secrets. Kind of like a binder full of women. But, you know, crazy.

Nice to see @kurteichenwald wield a large @TuckerCarlson Falsehoods binder, yet not be able to use the English language to answer a question pic.twitter.com/etjxI0feEk

He writes stuff down in it, guys! Very Big Scoops.
Shorter Eichenwald (inside his head) to @TuckerCarlson: "You don't want the truth…you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall!" https://t.co/YTWgFXNPW2

Wiping tears. One of his “scoops”? Accusing President-elect Trump of “amphetamine-derivatives” use. In the 80s.

Some folks are overstating what I said: The medical records I have showing Trump used amphetamine-derivatives 4 years are dated from 1980s.

Pretty sure it's against the law for you to have someone's medical records in your possession w/o their permission. https://t.co/zaOgRMp8Me

But, but …. journalism and stuff! Stolen records are hunky-dory unless said records belong to a Democrat.

Good questions. Oh, please let him pull out his binder pages. Because, I suspect this is true:

Aching. Sides. Eichenwald’s amphetamine “scoop” totally backfired. Why? A big old dud.

Oops. Or, it could be this:
@kurteichenwald And "derivatives." A weight loss drug? Who even cares?
— Lori Ziganto (@snarkandboobs) December 16, 2016
Or this?
It would refer to something like Ritalin. But "who even cares" is right, those aren't anti-psychotics. Treats a common condition. https://t.co/W8y0IlF6cl

I don't believe Adderall was on the market yet? Would take 12 seconds to find out, but not worth it. Not too many ADD-only inpatients. https://t.co/LfKCJ8Q3Jx

Bingo. A huge nothing, even if true. And that is a big if.
Plus, at the time, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were reportedly using large amounts of a non-prescription upper. https://t.co/Y97zqR1Cd5
— David Steinberg (@realDSteinberg) December 16, 2016
Heh. "Upper." I giggled. And, yep. Eichenwald's big 'scoop' attempt is a total dud.
— Lori Ziganto (@snarkandboobs) December 16, 2016
Consensus on the “scoop”? Who cares? No one would. However, they would, and are, caring about this:
So @kurteichenwald deleted his tweets stigmatizing use of "amphetamine derivatives," but saved it for you here–> pic.twitter.com/uEieDAZYdg
— Lis Smith (@Lis_Smith) December 16, 2016
So @kurteichenwald just shamed @realDonaldtrump for allegedly being prescribed an “amphetamine derivative.” What’s next? Shaming kids w/ADD?
— Lis Smith (@Lis_Smith) December 16, 2016
Way to go, Eichenwald. Pretty jackassy stuff right there.
