Russian spies appear to have tried to make it seem authentic by assembling passages lifted from actual emails by different hacking victims…

Mr. Trump and his aides have coupled those releases with wild and inaccurate claims about what they show, spinning the reports as proof of his long-running narrative that the investigation was a hoax instigated by enemies for political reasons.

This whole “assembled by Russian spies” line is based on one assessment about a pair of emails likely pulled by Russians from other real American victims of hacking. Beyond this instance of a “composite,” the paper ignores the gigantic load of material from the same source, which has been described in multiple other reports as real and affecting numerous American “victims” from the Executive and Legislative branches, as well as think-tanks and NGOs.

More irritating is Savage’s diatribe against Patel and the hoax “narrative,” offered without mentioning the roughly ten million instances in which the Times botched its coverage of Patel and Republican investigations into Russiagate.

Yep. NYT and WaPo go down with coconspirators Obama, Hillary, Brennan, Clapper, Biden and Rice. They were all in on the attempt to drive Trump from office with lies.

Wasn’t it 18 minutes into President Trump’s first term that the WaPo announced “impeachment is on the table”?

That really portends fair and honest coverage.
