This article was published by Mother Jones back on October 31, 2016, as recently unearthed by Aaron Klein. The author, David Corn, helped launch Plamegate, as I summarized here (see Question #21: "21. What role did David Corn play in triggering the DOJ probe of Novak’s column? Prior to Novak’s column, David Corn had met Wilson on the set of FOX News and had invited him to contribute a column to The Nation. According to Corn, after Novak’s column came out, he called Wilson and suggested to him that Novak’s column may have been a criminal violation of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act. Corn then published an article making the first public accusation that the Bush administration had committed a crime by blowing Plame’s cover. Three years later, Corn would coauthor the first book identifying the actual leaker as Richard Armitage."). This whole scandal begins to look increasingly like Plamegate/Nigergate, to the point of involving some of the same players.

Didn’t David Corn also break the Romney 47% story?

So the Russians said, “Let's give Trump an opportunity to have a ‘pee-in’ with a bunch of hookers on a bed 0 slept on. If he liked doing that, maybe we have successfully turned him into our own ally.”

Yeah, I don't think so.

And lo and behold, Corn shows up on Slate this week commenting on the BuzzFeed story--what a coincidence. . . A Question of Intelligence: A chat with David Corn about what was (and wasn’t) inside BuzzFeed’s dossier. by Jacob Weisberg

Mother Jones is only good when it comes to articles on genetically modified organisms, Big Pharma, holistic medicine, and organic farming or gardening. Other than that it’s mostly socialist rubbish.

So MJ lost a court case about a “fake but accurate” rape story where they lost millions. And now they’re stupid enough to try that crap again with the most powerful man in the world who also happens to be very protective of his reputation i.e., litigious. These people who run MJ aren’t exactly geniuses are they? The next question is when does President Trump take ownership of MJ. hahahha

This story is just a variant of the first one. They are not too original are they?

I unearthed this on FreeRepublic and I didn’t post it, because it is Motherearth.

What is missing is the reference to Harry Fraud

Please.

This is to take the focus off Hillary and Podestas Uranium One quid pro quo deal.

She and her minions are the only ones with proven ties to Russia. For a known sweetheart deal.

This is total bs.

Missing in this discussion: what about Saudi elites trying to co-opt and assist Obama and Hillary over the years. Is there not clear evidence this happened, and is this not relevant to those trying to link Trump to Russia?

David Corn is and has been a hard left gazoonie for years. Mother Jones isn’t even a good beer coaster.
