David Corn on Hillary Email: Her People Telling Press Things That 'Are Not True'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 03/07/2015 8:40:07 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

David Corn of mucho-left Mother Jones was the object of considerable ire for going after Bill O'Reilly in what Rush and others saw as attempted tit-for-tat over Brian Williams' inventions.

But credit Corn where it's due: he is now speaking out about how Hillary's camp is in a "defensive crouch" over her email, in which Hillary's people have told him and other members of the press things that "are not true." Corn, who has also written on the matter, made his allegations on Steve Kornacki's MSNBC show today. Corn claimed "I was told by a Clinton advocate, speaking for her, that everything was preserved by the State Department. It turns out it wasn't." He added that it's not that the press is "beating up" on Hillary, but that by telling the press things that "aren't true," the Clinton camp turns a "level 4 fire" into a 13.

“Valerie will not give up her position.”

Definitely plausible.

Or his way of telling the little people to quit leaking to the press so the pros can handle it.

Hillary already has her own Valerie, Cheryl Mills. That position has already been filled.

The more rabidly left-wing Democrats distrusted Bill Clinton when he first ran because of his connection with the Democratic Leadership Council, which was a mechanism to fool people into thinking he was more moderate than other Democratic contenders. That, plus being a native of the South.

So even though Hillary is probably more of a leftist than Bill, there are probably a lot of Democrats who want someone more trustworthy, a Northern leftist with no taint of "moderate" about them.

You can pick up on their strategy by reading the comments from different news sites.

It will start with a single person making the comment then more and more people will make the same comment.

Problem is the comments are so similar they have to be coming from only a few sources trying to make it appear as if it’s a large number of people.

... Hillary's people have told him and other members of the press things that "are not true."

Liars lying to liars. Living is double negative land, still doesn't make this a positive.

David Corn has been enabling the Clintons and their ugly lies for decades.

All of a sudden he’s shocked, just shocked that the Clinton machine is lying to the press?

I don’t buy it...

Corn has lied for them for years. Suddenly he notices that they are lying.

I am astonished how quickly the pack turns on you once the puppet-masters decide you are over.

“No One Left To Lie To”......I think that was a book by Christopher Hitchens.

This 24 hour 7 days a week media frenzy concerning Hillary's email scandal: I couldn't help but think how lightly the media treated the background investigation of presidential candidate community organizer Obama in comparison.

For instance, if the media like FoxNews tv hosts Hannity, O'Reilly, Megan Kelly, and Greta had put as much time and effort in questioning and pressuring candidate Obama to release his birth hospital records, his Social Security card, his Selective Service application, and his Occidental College and Columbia records as they have in questioning Hillary about her email scandal, I believe that Obama would have ended up lying about his background under all that pressure, and, as a result, he would not have been elected president, because the American voters would have quickly come to realize what a liar candidate Obama really was.

Way to go Hannity, O'Reilly, Greta, and Kelly. Your incompetence and cowardice in refusing to put continuous pressure on candidate Obama to reveal details about his past were key reasons why Obama was elected president not once but TWICE.

Let's look at how Hannity handled his botched investigation of candidate Obama's background. I watch Hannity. I don't always agree with what he has to say, but I find his show interesting.

1. Hannity Townhall meetings: Hannity has these so-called townhall meetings. most of them are alright, but sometimes he holds townhall meetings on strange topics. For instance, one townhall meeting I found strange was the one about Spring Break problems in Florida.

2. Trips to other parts of the United States and to Israel: He went to Texas to see the illegal immigration problem first hand at the border. He also went to Israel to see the secret Arab tunnels for himself.

3. My point is this: If Hannity can go to Texas and to Israel to investigate important stories, then why couldn't he go to Hawaii---where Obama was supposedly born and spent most of his childhood----in search of the real Obama if, as Hannity claims, he was serious about keeping Obama out of the presidency?

4. Think about this: Hannity has NEVER gone to Hawaii and held townhall meetings to find out what people in Hawaii, especially Obama' s Hawaiian friends, could tell him about the real Obama as he grew up in Hawaii. Why won't Hannity go to Hawaii if he really wants to expose Obama as a liar? I don't understand.

5. For instance, Hannity could ask Obama's Hawaiian friends at the townhall meetings if they saw Obama in Hawaii during the summer of 1980 after his freshman year at Occidental. Why should Hannity ask Obama's friends such a question? The reason is this: That was the summer Obama supposedly signed his Selective Service form in Hawaii. However, if none of his friends recalls seeing Obama in Hawaii that summer, it means that Obama was not the one who signed the Selective Service form in Hawaii in July 1980, because Obama must have been in California the entire summer.

6. Also, Hannity could ask Obama's friends if Obama ever presented himself as a foreign student, or if Obama ever went by the name of Soetoro, the name of his Indonesian stepfather.

7. And he could take us on a tour of Obama's supposedly birth hospital and maybe look in Obama's mother hospital room. He could show us the apartment where Obama lived and the schools that Obama attended.

Again. Shame on you Foxnews tv people Hannity, O'Reilly, Greta, and Kelly. If you had made the same special effort in researching candidate Obama's lies about his background as you have put in researching Hillary's present email scandal, Obama might not be president today.

Even David Corn disgusted by Hillary’s email inventions.

Liberals haven't turned a new leaf and decided to be honest... that would be too weird for words. I suspect progressives want to dump Hillary - and that's where the new found desire to tell the truth is coming from...

It’s just amazing that Cornholio has the guts to show his face in public much less open his pie hole.

I don’t give Corn credit for this. He is, first and foremost, a dyed-in-the- wool, down-to-his pathetic-excuse-for-a-soul leftie. He’d much rather see Eliz. Warren as the Dem candidate, and if that takes destroying Hillary once and for all, he’s good with that.
