Leaked Memo: Colleagues Unload on John Solomon, the Journo Who Kicked Off Trump’s Ukraine Conspiracy
The Daily Beast ^ | Oct 1, 2019 | Maxwell Tani

Posted on 10/01/2019 1:20:20 PM PDT by edwinland

In Solomon’s March 20 interview with Yuriy Lutsenko, the then-Ukrainian prosecutor general made a series of wild claims, including accusing Biden of pressuring the then-Ukrainian president in 2016 to fire the country’s top prosecutor—at the time, Viktor Shokin—to squash an investigation into a Ukrainian gas company connected to Hunter Biden. (Lutsenko would later retract some of the claims made to Solomon, eventually walking back his claims of wrongdoing by the Bidens, ultimately concluding: “Hunter Biden did not violate any Ukrainian laws.”)

“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act,” George Orwell.

John Solomon is a revolutionary, telling the truth against the lies of the entire Mainstream Media, television and print. He is a great patriot.

Almost everything I know about spygate, I have learned by watching John Solomon and Sara Carter on Hannity’s show. Hannity is an insufferable blowhard, but he has knowledgeable guests who reveal a ton when he is not interrupting them.

Hannity has had another dozen guests who have filled in the details, but John Solomon and Sara Carter have revealed 90% of what I know about Spygate, FISA, and the unmasking. So far, the unmasking has fallen completely between the cracks for news on Hannity’s show, but here is hoping it is on equal par with Barr/Durham.

John Solomon is doing God’s work, helping President Trump to save this nation. My prayer is that the stupid and ignorant American masses somehow become enlightened by this information eventually, rather than continue us on our path to totalitarian socialist oppression.

“I am disturbed that a reporter at a purportedly non-partisan publication is pumping out pieces that appear to be heavily slanted towards one side of the ideological spectrum, and I am especially disturbed that these stories appear to be repeatedly leaked to a close informal adviser of President Trump (Sean Hannity) ahead of their publication

Bwahahaha. Just like it's a coincidence that Adam Schiff tweets about the Ukraine-Trump conversation weeks before the story breaks, and that Hillary shows up on the scene a few days before Pelosi 'officially launches' a probe.

Journalists supposedly spend their time seeking out 'anonymous leakers' and that doesn't appall them. But in this age of social marketing, they are appalled that one reporter promotes himself. And of course, the allegation that Sean Hannity is an "adviser" to Trump - clearly this anonymous reporter isn't non-partisan.

Exactly. Why does the USA have an interest in who Ukraine appoints as a prosecutor to investigate a Ukrainian company? Biden needs to explain the American interest in having the prosecutor fired. And, why was it so important that he put a quid pro quo in front of it - “fire that prosecutor or we’re pulling our $1.2 billion loan”.

I agree. And then there is the moment in the Biden clip where someone asks him “What authority do you have to withhold the money” and he says to “call the President and ask him.”

Of course, any hint of wrongdoing by obama would be a sign of racism and require the impeachment of President Trump.

John Solomon truly deserves the Pulitzer Paize.

Sarah Carter too.

But the rules for the Pulitzer state that the reporter’s work must damage Republicans, not Democrats.

The question is whether the Biden’s violated American laws—not Ukranian laws.

Woul love to see an Ayn Rand parody with Hunter Biden as the hero...

Hunter represents everything corrupt about “Leaders” so well.

Better not speak ill of The Daily Beast, some Freepers tout it as gospel.

Are you confusing it with The Daily Caller?

And the sad part is that there are more of them than us.

They come in legally and illegally by the thousands daily and they don't vote republican, or they wouldn't have let them in for the last 40years.

That's right folks. Don't believe your own lying eyes and ears watching that recording of Biden bragging about having said prosecutor fired using shake down tactics of withholding a billion dollars of aid. Only listen to us. We have many shiny objects to bedazzle you with. After all, this is only the Ukrainian Prosecutor General making a series of wild claims...

Snopes presented the template in “flak hecking” where the framing synopsis is tainted to discredit all of the facts in a scandal.
