-you claim that Steele is respected
-you try and make it look like Republicans had something to do with the dossier
-you absolve Hillary
-you fail to tell your readers that NOTHING has been corroborated
-you claim that questions over the dossier are "partisan attacks"
-you unskeptically repeat misinformation about GOP funding
-you mislead your readers about the fact that Steele hasn't been in Russia in decades
-you unskeptically parrot Clinton lies nytimes.com/2017/10/24/us/…
This one is particularly egregious:
-you again misdirect about GOP funding of the dossier
-but then you go all in on creating false innuendo about the role that Washington Free Beacon and Paul Singer might've played in creating the dossier
The article is a giant whitewash of the fact that the FBI kept used Steele, even after he was fired, with Ohr as the conduit.
You make it look as if that was really about Deripaska and the Trump stuff was just incidental. nytimes.com/2018/09/01/us/…
Bonus from the previous article. Steele roping in Ohr at every opportunity and every step of the way was just "a friendly heads-up". It definitely had nothing to do with getting his dossier lies into the FBI and DOJ.
Not sure I can take 22 minutes of Ken and his fellow stenographer Matt Apuzzo talking about the dossier but if anyone feels like it, here it is:
In light of the recently released Russiagate binder revealing just how pivotal Kevin Clinesmith was to the FBI’s plot to frame Donald Trump as a Russian agent, let’s take a moment to revisit how the media portrayed him. It’s almost as if someone sent out a memo.
This is a big fat lie. Let's take a look at a small selection of propaganda that was pumped out by or via the Hillary Clinton campaign based on the fraudulent Steele dossier (which was falsely reported by Clinton to the FEC as a "legal expense"):
Had it not been for the IRS whistleblowers, Hunter Biden would've gotten off scot free. Not a good look for David Weiss or for justice in general. Real banana republic stuff they tried to pull here. Also noteworthy that @nytimes has shifted its narrative. nytimes.com/2023/08/19/us/…
"Mr. Biden’s foreign business ventures, especially when his father was vice president and later when he was addicted to crack cocaine, **had long raised ethical and legal concerns**."
For years they told us that it was all a giant conspiracy theory. Now they pretend otherwise.
"Mr. Weiss told an associate that he preferred not to bring any charges, even misdemeanors, against Mr. Biden because the average American would not be prosecuted for them."
You mean the "average American" who's the son of the vice-president raking in millions from China? 🤡🤣
This is the craziest thing I've seen in a long while. I said earlier today that the two Slack messages on Covid origin released by GOP ended all debate.
Well, @franciscodeasis has found even worse messages buried within the PDF which GOP apparently meant to hold back for later. https://t.co/yK5vnjCqja
Trump's lawyers sent a remarkable letter to @RepMikeTurner trying to get House GOP to intervene in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents situation.
The gist of it is that NARA and DOJ tricked Trump. That may well be true but what does that say about him? justthenews.com/sites/default/…
The letter starts by blaming sloppy packing and record keeping. It also concedes that Trump meant to go through the boxes but didn't. This may all be true but this was in 2022. Trump should have been more than aware by then that the deep state bureaucracy was trying to get him.
This seems to suggest that Trump's lawyers found additional documents marked classified. 🤔
ICYMI, former CIA director Michael Morell got an invitation from Peter Strzok to talk about Hillary's emails. Shortly after, he contacted Hillary's campaign manager. Wonder what they talked about. 🤔
And now we find out that he was also Biden's clean up man for Hunter's laptop.
