White House Journalists Fail to Ask Jake Sullivan About His Past Russia Lies

White House reporters failed to ask National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan about his past record of lies about Russia, as he urged journalists to believe U.S. intelligence reports that suggested Russia would soon invade Ukraine.

Sullivan appeared at the White House press briefing to warn that a Russian invasion of Ukraine could happen as soon as next week, and to urge Americans to leave Ukraine, warning that U.S. troops would not be risked to rescue them.

Reporters asked why they should believe U.S. intelligence assessments, given a past history of consequential errors, such as those before the Iraq War.

But journalists did not ask Sullivan about his specific lack of personal credibility regarding Russia, after he briefed reporters in 2016 falsely about “collusion” between Russia and President-elect Donald Trump, and made similar claims to Congress:

Breitbart News has reported on previous occasions when the press has failed to ask Sullivan about his record on Russia:

As Breitbart News reported last year, Sullivan was implicated in Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, and admitted to Congress under oath in 2017 that he had briefed reporters about his suspicions of “collusion” between Russia and the Trump campaign.

Sullivan also testified, under questioning from Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), that he believed former NSA Michael Flynn had conspired with the Russian government — claims that earlier led to Flynn’s ouster. Ironically, Sullivan now holds Flynn’s job.

Shortly before Election Day in 2016, Sullivan issued a press statement claiming that Trump had a “secret hotline” to Russia via Alfa Bank. Subsequent investigations by U.S. authorities determined that the Alfa Bank conspiracy theory was false.

Sullivan repeated assertions that Russia might try to justify an invasion with a “false flag” operation to create a pretext.

These are great questions. Can we not get one stupid reporter to ask a good question before the Deep State pushes us into another war?

We need an honest press.

"Can we not get one stupid reporter to ask a good question before the Deep State pushes us into another war?"

Briefly, war sells newspapers.

Reporters make money.

... past record of lies about Russia, as he urged journalists to believe U.S. intelligence reports that suggested Russia would soon invade Ukraine.

Is that the same "intelligence" that lied about President Trump for years - the same "intelligence" that spies on Americans, gives passes to Hillary, and calls traditional American 'domestic terrorists'?

Most of us don't believe them - for good reason.

Let’s not let them push them into war like they did in Vietnam. I served in the US Navy during that ‘conflict’, and I believe that it was a war to profit our war industries. I lost friends and brothers of friends in that war, and I learned not to trust the motives of our Government..As it is said: “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me”. Never again!

I served in the Corps; 1st Bat 12th Marines, 68-73.

I learned several thing during 2 tours.

1: There is no such thing as “FRIENDLY FIRE”.
2: Trust no one, believe nothing.
3: Politicians are only in it for 2 things, POONTANG AND PROFITS.

[silent majority rising]

Most of us who served during that time realized the same thing.
