I think I would be very skeptical that this was actually written by Seymour Hersh. This Substack was created today. There's no previous history on it. I can't find any credible evidence that this is actually Seymour Hersh.

If it's not Seymour, it sure is very effective propoganda.

Does anyone see any proof that this is indeed written by the claimed author?

Taibbi, who is active on Substack, confirms using his verified Twitter account:

Reuters reported on it, the White House bothered to refute the story. It is Hersh.

Have you seen the White House refutation somewhere other than in the piece which is the subject of the questioning you’re responding to? If not, that’s a null point.

Yes, and it is trivial to find:

Are people try to derail this story by flooding the submission with innocent questions?

There are quite a few articles popping up saying the same thing from various "news" sources, however they don't appear to be including any links to the supposed "White house" source they're talking about.

eg they could very well be propaganda themselves
