New York Times Accuses, then Exonerates Trump Aides in Russia Claims
Breitbart ^ | 02/15/17 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 02/15/2017 9:41:18 AM PST by pgkdan

The New York Times published a story Tuesday evening claiming anonymous “aides” on President Donald Trump’s campaign had contact with Russian intelligence, citing classified information supplied by “four current and former American officials.”

Oddly, the Times reports that these officials concluded that there was “no evidence” they had seen that the “Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians on the hacking or other efforts to influence the election.” So there would seem to be no story.

However, the anonymous officials were reportedly alarmed by the “amount of contact that was occurring while Mr. Trump was speaking glowingly about the Russian president, Vladimir V. Putin.” The Times does not report who initiated the contact.

More proof that the Fake News media doesn't care about publishing the truth...all they care about is throwing mud at the President in order to cast doubt in the minds of Congress and the electorate. It's not working among the electorate but it is working among the more weak minded among us. Lindsay Graham, John McCain and Roy Blount, for example.

The well-worn NYTimes trick of writing liable claims on the front page above the fold and then writing a “correction” on page A26 days later. SOP for the old gray whore.

Again, like the old wise man told me “The definition of the truth is the first story that hits the street. It is what people remember. Everything after that is a rebuttal.”

We need to bring in strong conservatives during the midterms to help president Trump defeat his enemies. I just hope the they can get rid of the moles that are leaking information. President Trump has to take the head of the moslum brotherhood out. His name is obama.

You mean that Michael Moore got all wound up over nothing? What a surprise! I still think Moore should get some type of plaque from President Trump for the four minute excerpt from “Trumpland” that get several million views and helped push Trump over the edge in all those pesky battleground states like Iowa, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida and Wisconsin. Thanks Mike, you ugly old tub of lard, without you it easily might not have happened.

Trump needs to Set up an investigative Commission to look into Russian intelligence influence upon the entire American political community including the Democrat Party ..... The Left would go ballistic because they would know very well what side the Russian Influence is favoring.

That was a great video, and I think it did help him win.
ONE thing that I will give credit to MM for, he hates Trump without having to vilify his voters. He gets the Trump voter, totally nailed it in that piece.

Maybe it is time to start protesting with very large crowds outside the offices of the NY and Washington post against their support of Obama’s Shadow Governmrnt.

Not sure if this picture is from before the election or after. It could be either, I guess.

He was the only far left Democrat I know of who predicted and understood the Trump victory in advance. He saw the direction that this thing was going and said so publicly and took some heat over it. He screwed up badly with “Trumpland” if his goal was to actually help Hillary. I assume he thought that the 4 minutes where he explained fairly accurately and concisely why Trump was doing well would be offset by the other 67 minutes of his normal convoluted hogwash. But his 4 minutes made headlines and almost no one bothered to watch the rest. Even many of his followers focused only on the headline grabbing 4 minutes, and it may have helped push many Bernie supporters to Trump.

You have a vivacious teenage daughter in high school. She’s best friends with another girl in her class and they do everything together. Another girl in her class is jealous of their relationship so she starts a rumor that they’re lesbians. This lie spreads through the entire school, to all the different grades and all the teachers. The last person to find out is your daughter. Her and her friend’s reputations are destroyed because of a vicious, jealous rumor. The entire school has to be called into assembly and your daughter and her best friend are further humiliated as the staff has to publicly correct the lies and behavior of the student body. The friendship is never the same because they can’t ever act the same way around each other. this is how reputaions are destroyed, how lives are destroyed, how countries are destroyed through lies, false accusations, and slander. We can’t let this happen to President Trump
