From what I read, the talking points on the Mueller report have almost disappeared. Silence. Zero news about Barr bringing in the actual perps. Pretty amazing.

AG Barr: 'We Have Multiple Criminal Leak Investigations Underway' After Russia Probe
PJ Media ^ | 05/02/2019 | Tyler O'Neil / FR Posted by SeekAndFind

Attorney General William Barr revealed that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has launched many investigations into the constant leaks to the media during the Trump-Russia investigation. The DOJ is examining just exactly how mainstream media outlets had scoops on the investigation long before Congress had heard anything about the subject matter.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) asked Barr about the leaks in his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. "The Inspector General found that during the department’s investigation of Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified information, there was a culture of unauthorized media contacts. During the Russian investigation, the leaks continued. Leaks undermine the ability of investigators to investigate," Grassley argued. "Further leaks to the papers while Congress’s questions to the department go unanswered is unacceptable." "What are you doing to investigate unauthorized media contacts by the department and FBI officials during the Russian investigation?" he asked.

"We have multiple criminal leak investigations underway," Barr responded.

Later in the hearing, Sen. Joe Kennedy (R-La.) suggested Barr extend the probes to special counsel Robert Mueller and his team as well. "When you're investigating leaks at the Department of Justice and the FBI, I hope you will include the Mueller team as well," Kennedy said, concluding his remarks.

Last month, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) said he had sent multiple criminal referrals to the Department of Justice, including some related to leaks. "There are five direct referrals based on lying, obstruction, congressional investigation, and leaking. We have a global leaks referral, which involves just a few reporters but could involve multiple people. I don't think it's that many people because I think they probably only have a few sources within these agencies," Nunes said.

<><> ITEM <><> Journalists Dined at Top Clinton Staffers Homes Days Before Hillary’s announcement of her candidacy
Wikileaks via Breitbart ^ | October 17 2016 | Ezra Dulis / FR Posted by grey_whiskers

Several top journalists and TV news anchors RSVPed “yes” to attend a private, off-the-record gathering at the New York home of Joel Benenson, the chief campaign strategist for Hillary Clinton, two days before she announced her candidacy in 2015, according to emails Wikileaks published from John Podesta’s accounts.

<><> ITEM <><> The guest list for an earlier event at the home of her campaign manager, John Podesta, was limited to
reporters who were expected to cover Clinton on the campaign trail.
—snip—

<><> ITEM <><> Wikileaks revealed earlier that late night talk host Stephen Colbert, and his team at Comedy Central, were making TV episodes at the request or order of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) back in April of 2013. So, viewers thought they were vote-smart because they’re informed by a comedian, yet same said comedian was doing Hillary’s bidding the whole time.

<><> ITEM <><> Hillary frequently used the Democrats' "wrap-up smear."......leaking false info about her opponent to the media. When the obedient press published the smear, Hillary would wave it around indicating she was the superior candidate.

The Clinton Foundation listed "notable past media members" they were cozy with.
This page was carried in the Clinton Foundation archives........until recently.

Page has since been deleted from Clinton Foundation archives.

Trump Administration Sends List of Russian Collusion Liars to TV Producers
Infowars ^ | 3/25/19 | Paul Joseph Watson / FR Posted by markomalley

The Trump administration has sent a memo to TV producers which contains a list of Russian collusion liars,
advising networks to challenge individuals like Rep. Adam Schiff on their “false claims” in future.

The memo, sent by Trump’s Director of Communications Tim Murtaugh, was sent a day
after the Mueller investigation’s conclusion which completely vindicated President Trump.

It lists obsessed media hounds Sen Richard Blumenthal, Rep Adam Schiff, Rep Jerrold Nadler,
Rep Eric Swalwell, DNC Chairman Tom Perez and Obama's former CIA director John Brennan.

If you watch several commentators speaking about the same political topic they will often use similar or identical phrasing. Often, key words are exactly the same and used in the same way. If these were reduced to a ninth grade report the teacher would accuse the students of plagiarism.

The Clinton “war room” morphed into sending out the daily talking points and responses to every significant event.

To make it in the media, you must toe the party line or be expelled. Look at Fox News hosts who go to CNN and become total party loyalists.

When someone comes to Fox News from CNN, they remain a Democratic Party loyalists.

So you have to conclude that of primary importance to them is purity and unity for the advancement of the talking points, the agenda,

This aspect of human nature and specimen of person is how the Soviet Union or China or Cuba or Venezuela do it for so long.

Most think that the media spews democrat talking points. I believe it is the other way around, the dems are media puppets who spew media talking points. The reason I think that is because if you look at the dems you see parading in front of cameras on a continuous basis are all doltish and almost cattle-like. Pelosi, for example, is a doddering old hag who probably last had an original thought somewhere during the Clinton administration. Adam Schiff and Swallowswell probably have never had an original thought, and are more like parrots.

“TDIP is funded by George Soros,[5][6] Rob Reiner,[7]Tom Steyer, with further donations from social media outlets. Reportedly, “Social media titans including the founders of Facebook, Twitter and Google are indirectly funding the project through donations funneled through a Silicon Valley foundation.”

If I had to take a guess I’d say those talking points are written by staff at the CIA.

The Democracy Integrity Project (TDIP), is a multimillion-dollar stealth organization launched in late January 2017, just days after President Donald Trump’s inauguration, that provides daily “research” briefings five days a week, to recognizable Washington journalists, and congressional staff members, to keep the Russia “collusion” narrative alive. In March 2019, it was reported that Paul Sperry had exposed TDIP, which is essentially a “Trump-Russia 2.0: Dossier-Tied Firm Pitching Journalists Daily news on Collusion” spreading lies and fake news to keep the “Trump-Russian collusion” false news narrative alive in main stream media reporting.[1][2].....

.....TDIP is funded by George Soros,[5][6] Rob Reiner,[7] Tom Steyer, with further donations from social media outlets. Reportedly, “Social media titans including the founders of Facebook, Twitter and Google are indirectly funding the project through donations funneled through a Silicon Valley foundation.” The nonprofit, 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, Fund for a Better Future (FBF),[8] donated $2,065,000 to TDIP in 2017.[9]

“TDIP Research” daily e-bulletin recipients include the print media New York Times, Washington Post, BuzzFeed, Pro Publica, and McClatchy, and broadcast media outlets that include CNN and MSNBC.[1][10]

Having spent 12 years as a Republican oppo researcher and periodically discussing this with my partners, I concluded that there IS a secret central talking points dissemination site. It is a better kept secret than the Atom bomb. This is something the guys at Power line should tackle. We couldn’t because we were a small shop just trying to help our clients.

It easier to repeat leftist talking points. They are just lazy and propagandists at heart.

Someone just noticed this? They need to check their 6. Their situational awareness sux. This has been going on for years, but went thermonuclear under Bozo the magnificent. It goes something like this.

Rumblings in the press about the demonicrats latest propaganda push start about 6 months out. They build slowly to condition the minds of mush so when the push starts for real the brainwashed now a sure it’s some legitimate crisis and start coming out in numbers and on social media. The issue builds to a crescendo that the media uses to further propagandize the country (Nancy Pelosi let slip some of this). The pubbies then start running around like their asses are on fire not knowing what to do (this is theater). Finally the pubbies cave and help the commies enact another liberty crushing piece of (POS) legislation. Been that way for years.
