Rob Reiner doesn’t like Trump.
In other news, water is still wet.
But we hadn’t really thought about how much Reiner wanted to interfere with Trump beyond Twitter … he’s been tweeting mean and cryptic things to and about the president for years now. Like this.
Been waiting for Cohen in Prague to become public. Once we find out what he was doing there, this will be game, set, and match for Trump. Now’s the time. #TrumpResign

But it seems there may be more to Reiner’s tweeting than just being an annoying Hollywood douche-nozzle.
This suggests Reiner knew ahead of time that McClatchy was going to publish its story (which we now know is embarrassingly wrong). Question is how Meathead would have known that story was coming. https://t.co/iQgiDUBxL6

It was embarrassingly wrong, but it wasn’t the first nor will it be the last time so many of us didn’t think much of it. But it sounds like it could have been much more.
There's been reporting that Reiner has funded The Democracy Integrity Project, the FusionGPS/Steele-linked group that has seeded stories with McClatchy.

Whoa.
Meathead funded a group linked to FusionGPS/Steele? And sorry, we can’t stop laughing at the idea of an organization putting Democracy and Integrity together in their name. Talk about an oxymoron.

His defensive then agressive posture has shown he was somehow involved and had "a horse in the race," or something to lose. Many of the over-reactors seem to have something to hide.

I can't imagine where he would have received information not released publicly. https://t.co/AmHww0BwkL pic.twitter.com/DCSGu3frvc

Pardon this editor while she adjusts her tinfoil hat.
Wow.
Reiner is clearly being briefed by Dan Jones and his FusionGPS project, since it’s confirmed he donated at least $500K.
I don’t think he’s prone to self reflection but on the Russia hoax, Meathead bears personal responsibility and should be profoundly apologetic.

Not holding our breath.
