The Trump dossier was Clinton’s dirtiest political trick
New York Post ^ | Oct 24, 2017 | Michael Goodwin

And so the worm turns. Make that worms.

Just as key congressional panels open new probes into the still-smoking debris of last year’s election, the revelation that Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee paid as much $9 million for the discredited Russian dossier on Donald Trump flips the collusion script on its head.

Now it’s Democrats’ turn in the barrel.

The explosive report in the Washington Post goes a long way to explaining how the dossier was so widely spread among political reporters during the election. The Clinton camp must have passed it out like Halloween candy to its media handmaidens.

News organizations tried for months to confirm the salacious details, but couldn’t. The document became public when BuzzFeed, a loud Clinton booster, published it 10 days before the inauguration, while acknowledging it couldn’t verify the contents.

Nixon is Mother Theresa compared to Hillary.

That’s a good thought. Sessions had better have them on a tight rein.

Hillary colluded with the Russians through Fusion GPS to create the dossier to interfere in our election process. This is the real Russian collusion.

I hope this ends up like election night when the media people finally had to admit there was no good news for Hillary.

Irony that the NY Post has been filling the role the old WaPo did before the latter was so utterly corrupted by power. That self-congratulatory "Guardians Of Democracy" crap the WaPo has been selling of late should embarrass anyone with any vestige left of a sense of shame. The Pulitzers this year will have no more relevance than the Oscars have come to display in preference to pimps, perverts, and low-life sellouts. I can hardly wait for the journalistic equivalent of Meryl Streep leading a standing ovation for the best cover-up.

saw this today

24 Oct: RedState: Jim Jamitis: Ridiculous: Collins and Cantwell Ask GAO to Predict How Much Climate Change Will Cost Us
Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Maria Cantwell (D-WA) requested a report from the Government Accounting Office (GAO) to figure out just how much money climate change is costing us... The story at NBC News is presented with zero skepticism or curiosity by “Clinton campaign operative” reporter Alex Seitz-Wald

and decided to check out alex seitz-wald and came across this from a progressive left writer:

17 Nov 2016: Medium: How MSNBC’s Alex Seitz-Wald Colluded With The Failed Clinton Campaign
by Michael Tracey
A former Center for American Progress employee under the tenure of Podesta (who founded and ran the think tank till 2011), the (Wikileaks) emails clearly indicate that Seitz-Wald has found himself in the good graces of Hillary campaign and Democratic National Committee staff. In April 2015, he wrote a note of appreciation to his former boss Podesta, remarking: “Thanks so much for hosting last night. Nice event. Look forward to seeing you more very soon.”...

Seitz-Wald’s efforts to further the Clintons’ messaging culminated in October, when he took it upon himself to transcribe alarmist anti-Russia rhetoric propounded by Mike Morell, the former CIA chief and current employee of a PR firm founded by Clinton stalwart Philippe Reines. Rather than perform any kind of journalistic due diligence, Seitz-Wald simply parroted Morell’s outlandish and wholly uncorroborated claims regarding Vladimir Putin’s supposed personal interference in the US presidential election on behalf of Donald Trump. “Putin is aware of all this, he has approved it, he is directing it. This is Putin,” decreed Morell, who was then quoted without a hint of skepticism by Seitz-Wald...

Accusing a nuclear-armed nationalistic foreign leader of personally “directing” subterfuge to undermine US democracy is gravely serious for obvious reasons. It is therefore incumbent on journalists to treat these claims with extreme care and skepticism. But skepticism is evidently not the province of Seitz-Wald. (You’ll notice that since the campaign ended, elite conspiracy theorizing about supposed pro-Trump Kremlin interference has conspicuously ebbed.)...
https://medium.com/mtracey/how-msnbcs-alex-seitz-wald-colluded-with-the-failed-clinton-campaign-5e051f1ce9db

having written this last November, Tracey was, as it turned out, very wrong that the Trump/Russia narrative had ebbed since the election.

And the 0 Administration allowed her to reap profits from the sale of our—namely US—uranium to Putin’s administration.

Now that’s what I call a RESET!

As the saying goes, “None dare call it treason”—but I do right here and right now!

Putting Mueller in charge and staffing up a team of pro-Clinton investigators was necessary and brilliant.

There is an investigation (Judicial Watch) to determine that. If that turns out to be true, and it most likely is. Comey will be in deep do do.

In a decent world she would go to prison for that. But decency plays second fiddle these days.

There is so much competition for Clinton’s most despicable conduct, just the stuff we know about, it’s impossible to put one at the top of the list.

The FBI paid for the dossier and Comey must have been the one to okay it.

‘Comey was in on this too ...’

So was Mueller and Rosenstein.

If the GOP plays this correctly, it will blow the lid off the swamp. Enough is enough!

Sessions needs to appoint a special council and Trump needs to fire Mueller immediately.

Isn’t this the doc that Sen McSmarmy oh-so-humbly “walked it right over to the FBI like the good widdle boy I am”?

““Now it’s Democrats’ turn in the barrel.“

That’s racist.”

Make that an “empty barrel! Then Frederica Wilson will “fire up again!”

when Hillary’s wax first lady and her aid was caught with the FBI dossiers of most of the republican party she had out done Nixon.
