With eyebrows suspiciously furrowed, Tucker Carlson sat down tonight with NYU Professor of Russian Studies and contributor to The Nation, Stephen Cohen, to discuss the 35 page #FakeNews dossier which has gripped the nation with nightmares of golden showers and other perverted conduct which was to be used by Russia to keep Trump on a leash.
The left leaning Cohen, who holds a Ph.D. in government and Russian studies from Columbia, taught at Princeton for 30 years before moving to NYU. He has spent a lifetime deeply immersed in US-Russian relations, having been both a long standing friend of Mikhail Gorbachev and an advisor to President George H.W. Bush. His wife is also the editor of uber liberal "The Nation," so it's safe to assume he's not shilling for Trump - and Tucker was right to go in with eyebrows guarded against such a heavyweight.
Cohen, who has been quite vocal against the Russophobic witch hunt gripping the nation, believes that this falsified 35 page report is part of an "endgame" to mortally wound Trump before he even sets foot in the White House, by grasping at straws to paint him as a puppet of the Kremlin. The purpose of these overt attempts to cripple Trump, which have relied on ham-handed intelligence reports that, according to Cohen "even the New York Times referred to as lacking any evidence whatsoever," is to stop any kind of détente or cooperation with Russia.
Cohen believes that these dangerous accusations attempting to brand a US President as a puppet of a foreign government constitute a "grave American national security threat."
At the very end of the interview, Tucker's very un-furrowed eyebrows agreed.

FYI
What, exactly, did Russia do?
Stephen Cohen is on John Batchelor’s show quite a bit. I am OK with calling him “left leaning”; I don’t think he’s a flaming Russia fan like Mark Levin thinks he is nor do I think he is a flaming leftist. I think he brings a lot of insight into various US-Russia issues. Yes, with a mild pro-Russia slant, but IMO if you can tolerate that you can get a better insight into “Russianism” than you get from any US media source.
“What, exactly, did Russia do?”
Told the truth about the Democrats to the entire nation.
Two can play that game.
It means we Deplorables never ever have to play nice with the Uniparty or its Blue Team or Red Team any more.
They're traitors, and they ALL deserve a traitor's punishment.
Russophobic witch hunt gripping the nation
More Fake
I know this is a fake story and so do many others.
We are not in any grip.
WE ARE WINNING!
We must NOT let the media depress us for that is what they are trying to do.
Grip my...oh wait......
Told the truth about the Democrats to the entire nation.
Finding an ethical liberal intellectual these days is
like finding squirrel poop in the woods. You just know
it has to be there but damned it you ever see it.
All this is noise. Trump will eventually shut these people down providing the republican ranks hold beside him.
We are in serious times. Obama has left a nation deeply divided, and in peril. Our economy has weakened our military options.
The quicker he gets on with things the better. Stop the friggin tweeting about Arnold and Meryl and get to work.
that's a mighty shaky "if."
They can't tell us for fear the tools used by the "intelligence" agencies may be revealed - at least that's what TPTB would have us believe.
Even if the claims are true - which I doubt, the stench of hypocrisy reaches to the heavens as the US is just as guilty, perhaps more so, when it comes to interfering in the elections in other countries.
Just one example:
Obama administration sent taxpayer money to campaign to oust Netanyahu.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/jul/12/obama-admin-sent-taxpayer-money-oust-netanyahu/
The left and the neocons are foaming at the mouth in frenzy and can’t figure out why the traditional conservative right is yawning.
It’s because we do not see Russia as a natural enemy and believe we can achieve a detente that is beneficial to both countries and the world.
:)
The Left is starting to make me not care if something really bad happens to those 60 HRC counties, is fighting this monster turning me into a monster, have I been forced to glare into the abyss too long?
Golden Showers, indeed.
Go ask Meryl Streep and Rosie O’Donnell about Hollywood perverted sex practices.
Such as the Hollyeirdos giving prosties snacks of dried fruit ........and waiting for the inevitable.
After she lost, Hillary's campaign chair, John Podesta, was horse-whipped into action.
Podesta came charging out of the gate like Greased Lightning, galloping at breakneck speed
sweating it out, desperate to make Hillary look like a "victim."

John Podesta Op-Ed: Washington Post post-election op-ed / FR POSTED by by ColdOne
PODESTA: The more we learn about the Russian plot to sabotage Hillary Clinton’s campaign and elect Donald Trump, and the failure of the FBI to adequately respond, the more shocking it gets. The former acting director of the CIA has called the Russian cyberattack “the political equivalent of 9/11.” Just as after the real 9/11, we need a robust, independent investigation into what went wrong inside the government and how to better protect our country in the future.
As the former chair of the Clinton campaign and a direct target of Russian hacking, I understand just how serious this is. So I was surprised to read in the New York Times that when the FBI discovered the Russian attack in September 2015, it failed to (Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...

WikiLeaks: Tax Form Reveals Hillary's campaign chair, John Podesta, Continued Ties to Russian Energy Company After Claiming He Divested
LINK http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/10/31/wikileaks-tax- form-reveals-john-podesta-continued-ties-to-russian-energy-company-after- claiming-he-divested/
PODESTA'S LUCRATIVE RUSSIAN CONNECTIONS--- A leaked Jan. 3, 2014 document shows that Podesta transferred more than 25,000 of 75,000 shares of Joule Technologies---a Russian-connected firm---to Leonidio Holdings LLC. Leonidio Holdings, LLC, is listed w/ an address at his daughter's Megan Rouse’s Shannon Court home in Dublin, California. Rouse operates Megan Rouse Financial Planning from that same address.
The inference is to money laundering, perhaps tax evasion. Suggests that Megan Rouse's father, John Podesta, hid stocks connected to Russia. Documents show that Podesta received 75,000 shares of Joule Unlimited Technologies......an outfit which was linked to alleged money laundering by the Russian government, according to media reports.
The Center for American Progress (CAP) was started in 2003 by John Podesta, Bill Clinton's onetime Chief of Staff; Podesta led Obama’s presidential transition team after 2008 and was Hillary’s 2016 campaign manager.
Podesta’s CRONY relationship with the Clintons goes back to 1970.
=================================================
Hillary, Soros, Podesta and the rest are idiots. That's not the Russians fault. The fools needed something to make Hillary look like a victim. The Russians are a handy bete noir.
And besides, saving his wealth, his govt perks, privileges and multiple paychecks was a powerful motivator for Podesta.
