Jill Stein Downplays Russian Meddling: Media and DNC Interfered in 2016 Election Too
Mediaite ^ | February 18, 2018 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 02/18/2018 2:12:13 PM PST by EdnaMode

Days after the Russian indictments were handed down, Jill Stein appeared on MSNBC today to downplay Russian interference by pointing to American interference in the election.

She told Alex Witt the idea there was this big Russian attempt to back her campaign to hurt Hillary Clinton is absurd, saying, “This doesn’t pass the laugh test.”

She continued on to say there was “other kinds of interference,” like all the airtime the media gave Trump in 2016:

“Yes, there was Russian interference, but remember, there was very compelling interference going on by way of media, by way of the DNC––did the DNC not rig the primary?”

Stein also took offense at the idea that votes for her were “stolen” from Clinton, adding that she was the subject of a “smear campaign” over that Russia dinner she attended.

Witt pressed her on whether she got “a single vote” because of Russian interference. Stein instead pivoted to talking about Americans were “in revolt” against the two-party system.

Watch above, via MSNBC.

Sometimes the obvious truths are so big and clear that not all leftists have the shoulders to try to keep all the lies afloat.

Lawyers For The DNC Argue That 'Primary Rigging' Is Protected By The First Amendment

____

The ongoing litigation of the DNC Fraud Lawsuit and the appeal regarding its dismissal took a stunning turn yesterday. The defendants in the case, including the DNC and former DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, filed a response brief that left many observers of the case at a loss for words.

The document, provided by the law offices of the Attorneys for the Plaintiffs in the case, Jared and Elizabeth Beck, and appears to argue that if the Democratic Party did cheat Sanders in the 2016 Presidential primary race, then that action was protected under the first amendment. Twitter users were quick to respond to the brief, expressing

ITEM----Hillary Clinton ran in two Democratic primaries----2008 and 2016-----as well as in the general election in 2016.

ITEM----Intrepid investigator Mueller "uncovered" that the Russian scheme seems to have materialized at some point in 2014.

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

Here's the $64,000 question Mueller's indictment does not address-------
Why didn't the CIA or the NSA or the FBI pick this up?

Were Obama's PDB's falsified?

Dates are important b/c Snowden's' revelations indicate Obama's government spying apparatus began capturing all electronic data on everyone in the U.S. in 2001.

They succeeded in mastering the capture of all keystrokes, telephone calls and digital traffic by 2005.

This we know

<><>(A) that NSA traffic travels through FBI computers, and,

<><> (B) that the CIA keeps constant tabs on Russian spies in Russia....... and elsewhere.

BOOM

The Democrats have latched on to this idea of "meddling" or "interfering" in the election when none of that has taken place.

To meddle or interfere, they would have to change votes that were cast for one person, and changed to another; or submit fraudulent ballots. It would mean manipulating the actual count.

What the media and Democrats are complaining about is simply the information that is put out during a campaign. That's not interfering or meddling with an election, that's how campaigns go.

Hillary toiled for years to put together a hugely expensive campaign with a cast of thousands.

She was obsessively covered by a fawning media, primed and eager to expose any dirty tricks against
their candidate.

Hillary bragged foreign leaders were supporting her candidacy.

Her $1.5 billion campaign literally circled the globe, yet.................
<><> Obama didnt notice with PDB’s and top intel at his fingertips,
<><> fawning journos did not notice,
<><>Hillary did not notice,
<><>her huge campaign apparat did not notice,
<><> her foreign supporters did not notice

——that 13 Russians not even on US soil were openly working against her?

Hillary talks a lot about misogyny-—sounds more like myopia to me.
