Democrats intentionally used disinformation from Russia to attack Trump, campaign aides
Washington Times ^ | July 11, 2017 | Rowan Scarborough

While the mainstream news media hunts for evidence of Trump-Russia collusion, the public record shows that Democrats have willfully used Moscow disinformation to influence the presidential election against Donald Trump and attack his administration.

The disinformation came in the form of a Russian-fed dossier written by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele. It contains a series of unverified criminal charges against Mr. Trump’s campaign aides, such as coordinating Moscow’s hacking of Democratic Party computers.

Some Democrats have widely circulated the discredited information. Mr. Steele was paid by the Democrat-funded opposition research firm Fusion GPS with money from a Hillary Clinton backer. Fusion GPS distributed the dossier among Democrats and journalists. The information fell into the hands of the FBI, which used it in part to investigate Mr. Trump’s campaign aides.

Mr. Steele makes clear that his unproven charges came almost exclusively from sources linked to the Kremlin and Russian President Vladimir Putin. He identified his sources as “a senior Russian Foreign Ministry figure,” a former “top level Russian intelligence officer active inside the Kremlin,” a “senior Kremlin official” and a “senior Russian government official.”

The same Democrats who have condemned Russia’s election interference via plying fake news and hacking email servers have quoted freely from the Steele anti-Trump memos derived from creatures of the Kremlin.

In other words, there is public evidence of significant, indirect collusion between Democrats and Russian disinformation, a Trump supporter said. ...”

To me, there is a criminal conspiracy to undermine the effective performance of government. McCain is part of the conspiracy, he joined it when he went to get that seedy document and delivered it to the FBI. They should all be indicted for interference in the lawful exercise of government beginning with him, Comey, Clinton(s), Shumer, and Obama.

>> I find it interesting that the MSM ignores the fact that it is Hillary and her left wing collection of felons who are the best friends of Russia.

Let’s be clear what the MSM really is. It’s Disney, Comcast, Viacom, and now AT&T — with AT&T’s CNN being the most egregious offender.

I think it is a bit of a stretch to call it "indirect" collusion. Democrats have been colluding with Russia for decades, and haven't bothered to hide it very well.

Well, of course. McCain was right on board with it too - plus that kook Lt. Colonel Ralph Peters.

Session is doing his job.

Where do you get the idea that a Grand Jury could be empanelled that would indict Hillary? Then where would you go to get a Petit Jury to convict her?

Those screeching and hollering about Sessions apparently have no clue of how these things go. If she is indicted and tried and found “not guilty” it would be a tremendous blow to the Trump administration.

Any case would take months to compile and perfect and evidence from the National Inquirer won’t do it.

Did the ATT CNN deal go through. I heard it was on hold. Did the firing of the three fools satisfy ATT’s qualms?

I figured the deal was at the point of inevitability.

I recall major AT&T shareholders recently condemning CNN’s antics, but not sure about the traction.

Historically, I don’t have a problem with AT&T, but if it acquires and permits CNN’s hatred of POTUS, then every self-respecting citizen must dump their AT&T subscription.

We always have the option to not patronize corporate Leftism, but that option never gets any attention.

You’ll never hear the major blowhards mention the fact that Disney, Comcast, Viacom, and soon AT&T represent the foundation of the MSM. Actually, NO ONE discusses this complicit elephant literally on screen in our living rooms, our cell phones.

If it has been consummated, ATT will not stand idle and let CNN drag profits down because of its servitude to the Democrats.

From what I know ATT also owns OANN, a rightist channel.

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) who was micromanaging the Trump/Russia
collusion issue, asserted that, "After Trump fired FBI Comey over Russiagate an atmosphere of
fear has gripped the nation."

Schumer said he's scared ****less to even go to a gas station.

Here's what happened to Schumer last time he gassed up.

SENATOR SCHUMER HAS A LOT OF POLITICAL CONNECTIONS TO RUSSIA---
Russian nationals are his constituents. Did Russian citizens (many here illegally) vote for Sen Schumer?

(HAT TIP WIKI) The collapse of the Soviet Union and the subsequent significant changes there led many Russian citizens to immigrate to the United States. Many of the Soviet immigrants of the late 1980s and the 1990s primarily speak Russian......they live in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, NY. So many Russian citizens immigrated to Brighton Beach that the area became known as "Little Odessa."

In the early 2000s," Oceana," a high-income ocean-front condominium complex, was constructed. Oceana has become the destination of wealthy businessmen, entertainers, and senior govt officials from the former Soviet Union.

A Russian-speaking theater near the waterfront,features performances by actors from Russia, and other countries.

Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, NY, is considered a hot spot for the "Russian Mafia." In the 1970s, the most notorious leg of the Russian mafia served as a robbery gang for larger Russian crime syndicates in New York City. A crime boss from Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, NY denies having any connection to the Russian-speaking Mafia.

The major Russian criminal element in Brighton Beach was the international Russian mafia group, known as vor v zakone or "vory," and the first vory crime boss in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, was Evsei Agron, who controlled the area's crime during the 70s and 80s until his death in 1985.

After the fall of the Soviet Union in the 90s, many ethnic Russian criminals illegally entered the United States, coming primarily to Brighton Beach, Brooklyn.

===============================================

Prior to his election to the US Senate, Sen Schumer represented:

<><> the Ninth Congressional District in Brooklyn and Queens for eighteen years.

<><> earlier Schumer represented the Forty-Fifth Assembly District in Brooklyn for six years.

NOTe: Schumer's Congressional District and his Assembly district saw great waves of Russian citizens move into the area represented by Sen Schumer and then Cong/Assemblyman Schumer.
