Todays faux scandal is President Trumps statement, in an interview with former Clinton aide George Stephanopoulos, in which he was asked about receiving negative information about a political opponent from a foreign country. The Washington Posts account is typical:
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that if a foreign power offered dirt on his 2020 opponent, hed be open to accepting it and that hed have no obligation to call in the FBI.
I think Id want to hear it, Trump said in an interview with ABC News, adding, Theres nothing wrong with listening.
Trump is right on both points, although whether it makes sense to call the FBI depends on what the information is. Suppose, for example, that Israeli intelligence discovered Bernie Sanders is cooperating with a Communist country. No doubt Trump should report that to the Bureau.
As Trump told Stephanopoulos, there is nothing wrong with listening to information that anyone, foreign or domestic, might have that is relevant to a presidential candidate. But what is blindingly obvious, yet absent from every Democratic Party news account feigning horror at the ABC interview, is that the Hillary Clinton campaign didnt just receive foreign dirt on the Trump campaign. It paid for foreign sources to fabricate lies about Trump, which it then disseminated to the press. Listen to foreign dirt? The Clinton paid for it!
This is just one more example of why no sensible person takes news sources like the Washington Post seriously.

Call them Stradivarius, cause he plays them like a fiddle every time!
He just set them up to convict all the coup players with their own anger. Every stinkin one of them worked with foreign agents, including the FIB.
And I thought the Steele Dossier and everything Hillary and Company did was exactly that? Conspire with Foreign Entities to Rig an Election....

At the present time we have a free press, who has chosen to abdicate to us on delivering accurate information.
There is no (MSM) press corp in the United States today.
Instead, we have the Corrupt Coup Media.
Or the Corrupt Coup Enemedia, actually.
Right on the money.
Yeap, that’s about it...
Yes, Bret Baier’s stupid show was devoted to it.
The press cannot get any lower.
The Press is, as Pat Caddell said, the enemy of the American people.
“Call them Stradivarius, cause he plays them like a fiddle every time!”
No, a Strad is a high quality instrument that improves with age.
Steponallofus is a hackneyed hack like all the others. PDJT plays them like a wore out cheap fiddle.
The lamestreams are little children.
The press is not clueless, the press is Comcast, Disney, and now ATT
Stop patronizing these politically malicious operations. They are intentionally destroying the fabric of the Country.
“So - we can’t talk to anyone, globally - ever?” was my take on today’s spin.
Stupid. Makes no sense.
They’re not clueless.
They’ve just ridden the propaganda pony so far down the rabbit hole that they’re incapable of turning back now.
Somebody on the Schiff controlled House committee should bring in the recording of Schiff for brains talking to that Russsian about him having naked pictures of Trump,Schiff wanted copies and was going to have his staff contact this guy to get the photos
