Russiagate returns: MSM & #Resistance ecstatically exploit evidence-free NYT declare Moscow ‘serving to Trump in 2020’
The identical media that flogged the insane ‘Russiagate’ conspiracy principle for years are resurrecting that specific lifeless horse, in what seems to be an effort to cease the White Home from cleansing up the US intelligence neighborhood.
“Russia is aiding President Trump within the 2020 election, intelligence officers informed lawmakers,” the New York Instances blared on Thursday, including that President Donald Trump berated the performing Director of Nationwide Intelligence after final week’s briefing to that impact, about how “Democrats would possibly exploit the information.”

How good of the Instances to show Trump’s (alleged) level, then – and with a narrative that depends fully on nameless, unverifiable sources no much less. It’s similar to the early 2017 stuff concerning the “Trump-Putin file” on which the president-elect was briefed by FBI chief Jim Comey and DNI James Clapper, just for this to instantly leak to the #Resistance press, and set the stage for years of “Russian collusion” investigations.
Certain, the ‘Russiagate’ nonsense did not cease Trump from getting elected or being sworn in, similar to it failed to supply a pretext for his impeachment, so the Democrats needed to make one up with the Ukraine cellphone name. That doesn’t imply they will’t strive once more, although!
I remorse to tell you that the Russia hoaxers are at it once more. https://t.co/FLgC5pR5Dx

MSNBC – which by no means recanted its Russiagate reporting – instantly blared the Instances report as breaking information. CNN went a step additional, calling on Clapper to touch upon the story – sure, the exact same former spook who overtly lied to Congress about spying on People, co-authored the notorious “intelligence neighborhood evaluation” claiming Russia was meddling within the 2016 election, and claimed Russians had been “genetically pushed” to subvert the US.
In what certainly speaks volumes by itself, the story was uncritically amplified by the Washington Publish’s chief reality checker.

Trump ‘hitman’ Richard Grenell tipped to take over as US intelligence boss
May it’s that they’re only a tiny bit nervous Grenell would possibly clear home of all of the “resistance” sorts which have acted for years on the self-righteous conviction that they, not the elected president, ought to run US coverage? Of us like Clapper, Comey, CIA chief John Brennan, or the “whistleblower”-who-must-not-be-named who initiated the Ukrainegate fiasco, for instance.
Whereas regular, sane individuals might imagine that ‘Russiagate’ was a failure – and on its face, it was – it did truly handle to perform two main issues. One was to validate the Trump Derangement Syndrome of the mainstream media and the Democrats, finally encouraging them to imagine they might truly impeach him. Everyone knows how that ended.
The opposite, and maybe extra vital, was to supply cowl for all of the individuals concerned within the spying on Trump’s marketing campaign, unlawful FISA wiretaps and “unmaskings” of names, perjury traps, trumped-up prosecutions, letting Hillary Clinton off the hook for personal e-mail server use, and no matter truly occurred to the DNC computer systems that received blamed on Russia.
These individuals now have profitable e-book offers or soft jobs within the media and assume tanks, fairly than being charged with plotting a coup and being locked up in a federal penitentiary – at the same time as they bleat how “nobody is above the legislation.” Humorous how Washington works, isn’t it?
