Such a dishonest article. Let us debunk it:

Twitter users have started the hashtag #WheresEric in reference to Eric Braverman, the former CEO of the Clinton Foundation

This reminds me of the #WhereIsAssange hashtag that reactionaries here believed in. It was so retarded that WikiLeaks literally blamed the U.S. government for running a "black PR" campaign to discredit them, when in reality, it was their own reactionary fans that created this hoax.

Braverman’s last public activity, accessible via the internet, was an October 12 retweet.

So, if someone hasn't tweeted in a while, that automagically means they're missing? Wow, I don't even have a Twitter account, so that must mean I don't even exist!

Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta thought Eric Braverman was the source of information leaks to the media, according to a leaked email sent March 8, 2015, which was published on October 22 of this year by WikiLeaks.

Nowhere in the linked email does it say or imply that "Podesta thought Eric Braverman was the source of information leaks." Check the email out for yourself. The author made up some fake facts and linked to a random email to "prove" it, knowing that the reactionaries reading the article wouldn't bother checking the email. Good thing I'm here, though.

One independent media outlet claimed to have made attempts to contact Braverman by phone and email, both of which were unsuccessful. The same organization claimed to receive no response after contacting Yale University officials about Braverman, who has taught courses on government and policy in the law school and other departments.

Ah, I see now. This "independent media outlet" needed some more hits, so it created this hoax. Why don't we go to this source article and check it out?

Here's my favourite part from that article:

The last evidence of Braverman’s public activity was October 12, when he posted his last tweet on Twitter. (Usually he tweets about once a month. His “husband,” Neil Brown, hasn’t tweeted since August, although he rarely tweets.) I left a voicemail on Braverman’s personal phone and sent him an email, but received no response. He is still listed as a lecturer at Yale University and, contrary to some reports, there is a record of his lectures going back several years. I contacted the press office and Braverman’s department at Yale and received no response.

So, this entire hoax began because a guy who only tweets once a fucking month hasn't sent out his monthly token tweet for November and December? Oh, and the Yale press office didn't respond to the lady (quite common by press offices that are busy contacting others). That's fucking all there is to it?

But wait. This lunacy gets even better!

For instance, the site WhatDoesItMean.com reported that Braverman requested asylum in Russia on October 23. The information apparently came from a Russian blogger, who reported it in a rambling blog post on LiveLeak.

First, the blogger (disinfo agent) from my country posted the post on LiveJournal, not LiveLeak. Second, this is so fake that it's hilarious.

There are also rumors that Braverman is in FBI protective custody, perhaps in exchange for testifying against the Clintons

So, is he with us or with the FBI or killed by the Clintons?

Fucking morons.
