Thread: The IG Report, Proof that Both the FBI and Media Need a Reckoning

At 129pm on Monday the OIG released the long-awaited report on FISA abuse perpetrated by the FBI against members of the Trump campaign and their Crossfire Hurricane spying operation.

The media had been doing their best to pre-emptively draw people’s attention away from it, and have since been in full spin mode, while their coworkers in the DNC have been providing every distraction they can come up with.

But no matter how much spin they put on it, anyone who has read the report for themselves, is an honest broker or listened to the AG Barr interviews the day after the report dropped will tell you the same thing: it’s damning.

While the report focuses mostly on the FBI’s corrupt actions, there is a glaring omission of complicity not present directly in the report, but which is blatantly obvious to anyone who has been paying attention for the past three years: the media is just as complicit as-

the criminal FBI agents.

A popular Twitter account that I follow for insights changed his handle last year to “Anonymous Sources is Greek For Fake News,” which at the time I thought was witty and funny. But now after reading the IG report, I realize that it’s dreadfully accurate

Rachel Maddow is currently defending herself in court, against charges stemming from her Russia Collusion Hoax reporting, saying that her viewers are intelligent enough to know that what she’s reporting is not true.

You read that right, folks. While defending themselves in court cases stemming from their lies, we’ve had the head of CNN and a top reporter at MSNBC both admit to making up what they report to their viewers.

If we think back to the past three years of coverage regarding the Trump presidency by the mainstream media, we can see in hindsight that nearly every “anonymous source” or “sources familiar with the matter” or “our sources inside the Whitehouse” was used as an excuse to peddle-

lies to the American public under the guise of “news reporting.”

Both CNN and MSNBC have been hemorrhaging viewers since it became public knowledge that Mueller’s Special Counsel was a complete sham and came up empty, but I don’t think a loss of viewers & ad revenue is nearly enough punishment for the damage the media has caused by deceiving-

the public.

Think about this for a moment: there are numerous people in this nation who have lost friends, stopped communication with family members and engaged in violence against opposing members on the political spectrum because of the false narratives created by the-

DNC & their media lackeys.

If that doesn’t meet the “enemy of the people” moniker given to them by @POTUS , I don’t know what does.

If you haven’t read the IG report yourself and don’t have the time or understanding to pour through 500 pages of investigative legalese,-

@tracybeanz and @Shem_Infinite have both done an excellent job of breaking it down in easy to understand tweets.

All in all, journalist @jsolomonReports (the journalist whose number was just doxxed in a public report by Adam Schiff) outlined-

51 violations, 9 false statements, 17 serious acts of misconduct 4 informants and 1 unlawful effort to surveil the Trump campaign.

Tracy & Shem have both done a great job laying out the entire debacle, but I'll give you some of the highlights.

Even though Christopher Steele likely didn’t write the dossier bearing his name, it seems the FBI lied regarding his history and importance of work with the FBI.

They declined to include massive amounts of derogatory information about the quality of his work, and -

declined to tell the FISA court that, after interviewing his sub-sources directly, they found many of Steele’s claims that were attributed to those sub-sources didn’t match what they actually said.

Long story short, Steele lied about many parts of the dossier and attributed it to his sources.

Steele was leaking to the media, and the FBI pretended to fire him as a source. But rather than breaking off contact as they are supposed to do, the FBI created a back channel-

through Bruce Ohr so Steele could continue to peddle his lies.

The FBI grossly lied about Carter Page, leaving out valuable information that, at the time of Steele’s claims that Page was a Russian asset, Page was actually a CIA asset helping to take down Russian spies.

This is why FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith will be going to jail, as he doctored an email, changing it from stating that Page “was” a CIA asset to saying he “was not” a CIA asset at the time Steele claimed he was working for the Russians.

The FBI sent four different human sources to surreptitiously record conversations with members of the Trump campaign, had an undercover informant inside the campaign, monitored phone calls and emails of Trump campaign members -

yet the media feigned outrage when AG Barr called these things, the very definition of spying, what they actually were.

And, of course, the Obama White House was privy to the entire operation. We knew this when the Lisa Page text message stating “POTUS wants to know everything”

became public, but the media did everything they could to distance their messiah Obama from his obvious involvement in this case, because truth isn’t anything they’re interested in reporting.

The silver linings of the past three years are that while the media has been doing everything they could to turn people away from their support of President Trump, it has backfired immensely.

Support for impeachment continues to drop more every day, because President Trump has shown that, despite 90% negative media coverage, he’s never stopped working to rid our nation of corruption, pedophiles, human trafficking networks and criminals, all while making-

structural changes to our economic engines to create growth that neither Obama nor his academia lackeys thought possible.

And with each of the DNC investigations into Trump coming up empty, the American people have seen just how distrustful and complicit the media has been.

As the mainstream media has refused to report anything positive about President Trump, thousands of “new media” citizen journalists have popped up on social media to pick up the torch and report the facts to the people.

As if you needed any more proof, the IG report should be the final nail in the coffin for anyone who was still holding on to hope that the MSM would begin telling us the truth.

Put down the New York Times, Newsweek and the Washington Post. Turn off CNN and MSNBC, and follow the citizen journalists who have been reporting the good news for our nation that the MSM has refused to.

There’s plenty of it, and despite their best efforts, despite the weaponization of the FBI and media, despite the constant investigations, academia and entire force of the DNC coming after him, President Trump has kept his promise to us: he has Made America Great Again.

And that’s precisely why he’s going to win next year’s election in a landslide.
