After a full media cycle of apoplexy and pearl-clutching, which included Andrew Weissmann appearing on MSNBC to declare “It’s the end of Trump,” CBS is now reporting there is no Defense Department memo about attacking Iran – the foundation of the media claims surrounding the leaked audio tapes from Special Counsel Jack Smith.
Worse still, and exactly as CTH previously outlined, despite the claims by CNN about how this audio would be used as the “central element” by the prosecution of Trump, the audio and mysterious memo are not part of the Special Counsel case.
..... Snip.....
(Via CBS) – The Defense Department memo on Iran — at the heart of the now-public audio recording that captured a July 2021 meeting with former President Donald Trump — is not part of the 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information charged in special counsel Jack Smith’s indictment of the former president, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to CBS News.
..... Snip.....
There never was an Iran memo document. President Trump was discussing newspaper reports, “newspapers” and stacks of “papers”, as he originally told Brett Baier. Duh.
Reminder, in an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier on June 19, Trump said that at the meeting with the book’s publisher, he was not referring to the document itself, but newspaper articles:
“There was no document… That was a massive amount of papers and everything else talking about Iran and other things. And it may have been held up or may not, but that was not a document. I didn’t have a document per se. There was nothing to declassify. These were newspaper stories, magazine stories and articles.”

Apparently the tape is more about him openly saying he was aware he no longer had the power to declassify them and had not, and shouldn’t be showing people etc. It shoots his whole original argument in the foot
What you’ve seen from me is saying that is the case the government will try to make, and they will try to use the tape to help make that case.
It is indeed. It is a great source of anger for me, which I battle to overcome.
Say what?
I am happy to hear it.
All these invented witch-hunt tricks are making Trump stronger every day. The left media is actually the one helping Trump the most - thanks to their utter idiocy.
The left media are our useful idiots.
“So Trump lied? If true, is he man enough to admit he lied?”
There is also a recording of him saying “grab them by the pu**y”; it doesn’t prove anything… and to me it just sounds like the punchline to a joke.
If you’re offended, that’s on you, but it’s not a crime.
Yes it does!
“It is indeed. It is a great source of anger for me, which I battle to overcome.”
I have the same issue. But.... while anger might be considered a ‘not good trait’ in some scenarios.....
I’m starting to think that maybe more people need to develop that trait right now. Anger is a really good antidote for apathy. And our nation is in serious danger of dying from lack of will via apathy, IMHO.
If you study history, you will see that apathy has had disastrous effects on many nations in the past. And too many folks keep thinking “it can’t happen here”. It can... and probably will. Something’s gotta give. And we are fast approaching that breaking point.
The last election was stolen, outright... in the dead of night...which is when the evil left so loves to do their dirty work. Everyone is so focused on the ‘next’ election, that they haven’t taken the time to consider what has changed. Nothing has changed, except the left has become even more emboldened. Which... makes me even more angry...lol (back to square one).
Thanks mass. Kinda cool to know I’m a familiar screen name lol. Sorry if this doesn’t follow your posting rules, vivenne.
Without anger, there is no impetus for change. I agree, as did Christ in the temple with the money changers.
Curses! TDS FReepers foiled again!
This is why I couldn’t wait to post the story.
So Trump lied? If true, is he man enough to admit he lied?
Oh, for crying out loud! You Trump haters just won’t give up, will you? Jesus Christ himself could stand next to him with his arm around his shoulder, and you’d still condemn everything he does.
“Without anger, there is no impetus for change. I agree, as did Christ in the temple with the money changers.”
Excellent analogy and reminder. Thanks!
Perhaps. Or the deep state doesn’t want it revealed they were planning to start a war with Iran.
I’m sorry you and your spouse are not in agreement. My husband and I were like that for several years, but I gave it to the Lord, and He changed his point of view, with me not having to fire a shot. A true miracle.
I can’t imagine being married to someone who couldn’t understand what was going on.
