"Isabella Simonetti brought Olivia some information she had learned from a source familiar with the situation. Olivia recorded their conversation in which Olivia denied everything, even though it was all true. Just as she had been doing for a year, with stories about bears and campaign leakers, Olivia saw the Journal article as an opportunity to reconnect with Bobby. Since he had blocked her old addresses, Olivia created a new email account to alert him to the Journal article, according to one of Olivia's friends."
"Then, Olivia sent the recording of her conversation with Isabella to Tucker Carlson, and asked Tucker to send it to Bobby. Olivia wanted Bobby to have proof that she remained loyal and that she continued to lie for him. Bobby and Tucker, I was reliably told, had dinner during this period, and they debated how high up the plot to destroy Bobby went."
"Tucker, by then, was telling people, including Olivia, that Bobby was being blackmailed by Israel. And in terms of conspiracy theorists, he was like the Alex Jones to Bobby's Oliver Stone. Bobby just thought it was me, possibly working with Olivia. But Tucker thought it was a much grander deep-state plot to destroy Trump by destroying Bobby. He assumed I was just the tip of the spear."
Ryan Lizza was engaged to Olivia Nuzzi while she had an affair with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Lizza recounts a smear campaign Nuzzi carried out against him and says he corrected the record with Wall Street Journal reporter Isabella Simonetti. Simonetti gave Nuzzi information from a source; Nuzzi recorded the conversation, denied the claims, and used the Journal coverage to reconnect with Kennedy by creating a new email and alerting him. Nuzzi sent the recording to Tucker Carlson and asked him to forward it to Kennedy. Carlson dined with Kennedy, claimed Kennedy was being blackmailed by Israel, and framed the episode as part of a broader deep-state plot to harm Donald Trump.
