CNN Pushes Refurbished Russia Conspiracy, Inaccurately Claims Investment Fund Under Investigation

Full title: Very Fake News: CNN Pushes Refurbished Russia Conspiracy, Inaccurately Claims Investment Fund Under Investigation

Another day, another very fake news story from the network President Donald Trump has identified as “very fake news.”

CNN’s Thomas Frank on Thursday evening published what would have been considered an explosive report if remotely true: One anonymous source told him both the Treasury Department and Senate Intelligence Committee are probing a Russian investment fund with ties to several senior finance world leaders close to President Trump. Only problem? Both Trump administration officials and those close to Senate GOP leadership say it’s simply untrue.

Frank wrote, using one anonymous source:

The source said the Senate intelligence committee is investigating the Russian fund in connection with its examination of discussions between White House adviser Jared Kushner and the head of a prominent Russian bank. The bank, Vnesheconombank, or VEB, oversees the fund, which has ties to several Trump advisers. Both the bank and the fund have been covered since 2014 by sanctions restricting U.S. business dealings.

The whole media/DNC charade was exposed for what it really is this week with notification that Obama has sealed all documents related to Russian election tampering, Susan Rice’s unmasking of private citizens, Hillary’s pay for play deal on uranium sale to Russian and much more is packed away in the Obama Library that does not exist and cannot be viewed by anyone for five years.

So now as the alleged “investigation” continues it can only be used and manipulated in a manner of fabricating a prosecution against a member of the Trump administration. The real law breakers cannot be touched. And the congressional games and media lies will roll on unabated.

I think I read somewhere that when Trump was a kid he went tubing on the Russian River in California with his family on vacation. Has this been investigated?

Meanwhile the GOP congress is botching healthcare. The irony, the Russia, Russia, Russia stuff is giving them cover by knocking the Obamacare repeal story firmly and fully off of the front pages.

Long live Russiagate!!!!

CNN is going to get sued for incitement when their fake stories are directly linked to leftist terrorism. ...like what happened at the baseball practice recently.

When CNN “FACTS” go from wrong to extremely wrong, that’s when CNN fake new accelerates to VERY fake news.

And why does Trump still allow them in his ‘House’? Would you allow people into your own that sponsored a play of your death and lie about you constantly?

Could this "Investment Fund Under Investigation" story be the one that was touted yesterday by Benjamin Wittes: With Ominous Tweet, Comey Pal Suggests Bombshell Story Is Soon To Drop ?

Of course, that denial makes absolutely no difference whatsoever. In fact, the fact that "Trump administration officials" say "it's simply untrue" will be taken as a virtual admission of guilt by the MSM-Democrats.

Thomas Frank is one of the most often quoted and most often wrong Progressives in American political literature. One of his most seminal works was "What's Wrong With Kansas" which could have been and should have been more honestly titled "What's Wrong With Thomas Frank", for his many intellectual and factual errors in the book.

Russia DID try to influence the election but they did so to help HILLARY get elected, not Trump.

The people whom you have evidence of illegality on are the ones that you TRY to get elected. For example, China-Clinton. The Trump-Russian narrative doesn’t support this.

None of the deleted or damaging Hillary emails besides DNC or Podesta ones have surfaced suggesting people that have them like the FBI or enemies want to leverage them.

Didn’t she delete over 30,000 of them? I am going out on a limb her but I think Russia HAS these deleted emails. If they were trying to damage her, why didn’t they leak them? Russia like almost everyone else expected Hillary to win which would put them in the catbird seat.

But think of other Russian interests.

They would like us to remove tactical nukes from Europe.

They would like us to let the military deteriorate.

They would like us to NOT develop our energy resources. A drop in oil price would have a massive impact on Russia economically.

They would not want us to build up our military intelligence.

They would not want us to develop our military technology.

They would not want us to be secure from terrorist attacks.

On each and every one of these issues, the candidate the Russians would NOT want to get elected would be Donald Trump.

I think most people who believe this story was falsified by a politicized intel community instinctively know this, but I think it is worthwhile to state it unequivocally.

Liberals need an active fantasy life, and the MSM provides it for them.

I’m sure I heard that the president does have the authority to have the documents returned.

I think this is the story they pulled and erased the links on.
