This “Bombshell” caused the stock market to go down earlier today(Which just proves that Trump is the cause of the stock market being as high as it is..Thank U Mr. President!) meanwhile this INSANITY was retweeted EVERYWHERE..so NOW thanks for nothing douche bag Brian Ross has to “Clarity” OOPSIE DAISY did I say CANDIDATE TRUMP, NO NO I meant to say PRESIDENT ELECT TRUMP..Uh..DUH that makes a BIG difference a-hole
Yeah, just a minor difference there....
Regardless, this was a nothing burger and now it’s a nothing burger with fry’s.
ABC News is contending with CNN of the fake news trophy.
Big, big difference. The incoming president has every right to make diplomatic contact with countries during the transition period. Both countries need to know who they will be dealing with come January 20. That is what a transition period is for after all.
So, from what I read on numerous sites, there is nothing reported tying Trump or his campaign to collusion with the Russians or anybody else. What there is is Flynn lying to the FBI about a call to the Russian Ambassador on December 22nd, six weeks after the election and four weeks before the inauguration, at the direction of Jared Kushner. Kushner asked Flynn to call not only the Russians but the other members of the UN Security Council as well to stop an anti-Israel resolution from being passed. The White HOuse claims that it had the authority of Obama to do so. So what if it didn’t - it was the incoming Administration. Assuming the WH did not get Obama’s approval, is there a crime here? A violation of the Logan Act, under which NO ONE, not even Jane Fonda hugging the NVA artillery and meeting with NVA government offiicals in a time of war, has ever been prosecuted?? WHAT is Mueller doing in this and what does it have to do with campaign collusion - the campaign had been over for 44 days before this contact was made, it had nothing to do with candidate Trump or the campaign, and yet again, “star” reporter Brian Ross is shown to be a simple minded fool.
Neither is a problem.
A Candidate or a President Elect is free to talk with whomever they please.
A little late for clarification. ABC cretins got the headline they wanted and reported it with heavy breathing all day.
Good example of how the fake news process works.
Break a falsehood to plant the idea. Retract later.
Brian Ross is an idiot.
SEC should investigate ABC for this fake news which created immediate volatility in the stock market. See who at ABC was making money from this little fake news.
Guess Trump should have got himself an official seal of The Office of The President Elect like that last guy had.
Either way was a nothing burger.
Obama declared himself President before being sworn in
The Obama White House let in the female Russian lawyer who meet with Fusion GPS before meeting with Trump followed by GPS leaking a fake “Russia” showergate dossier and the DNC runs with Trump - Russia conspiracy theories ... but no, let’s say the conspiracy is Trump, not the Democrats engineering a set-up to try to take down the Republican candidate.
The media are so obsessed with the Russian story they immediately jump to conclusions in their reporting. That is why you can not believe anything they say. This latest gross distortion is just the latest example of fake news. It is scandalous because it does great damage before it is corrected and if it is corrected there usually is no apology.
Sounds like Comey needs to come out an say “the President acted carelessly” it seems to have worked for Hillary....
Flynn just admitted to lying to the FBI.
For some reason, I believe the media will view anything he says from here on out as gospel, for some reason.
