Mollie Hemingway on IG Report: There Should Be Consequences For Media That Got It Wrong

Mollie Hemingway comments on how the media covered the Trump dossier and the impact of the DOJ IG report. On 'Special Report,' Tuesday night Hemingway said Democrats may not accomplish anything with impeachments other than upsetting voters who thought they were sending them to Congress to change things and instead have focused on impeaching the president. MOLLIE HEMINGWAY: I'm one of the few people who has actually read the 430-page report. It outlines such tremendous amounts of spying. Electronic surveillance, the use of confidential human informants that were replaced people on the campaign.

Two years ago you had competing memos come out. You had Devin Nunes say that there were problems with the FISA process, that that was abuse. You had the response memo from Adam Schiff who is now leading the impeachment effort. Never Trump media and liberal media completely disparage the Nunes memo and completely supported the Schiff memo and they were utterly humiliated by what come out in this report yesterday. Every single thing in the Nunes memo reported to be true. If anything, it underreported the problems with the FISA process. Meanwhile, things that were claimed by Schiff that people took seriously, the people accepted uncritically, were shown to be false. They said there were no material omissions in the FISA warrants.

(snip) ---

BAIER: And that the dossier was okay.

HEMINGWAY: There were so many errors. And, again, all in the same direction. The dossier was completely disputed. Remember that Adam Schiff read the dossier into the Congressional record. He hijacked a separate hearing in order to do so. There should be consequences for this. And there should be consequences for media that got it wrong as well.

What’s worse, people don’t trust or respect the government.

“Think that all the way through Mollie. You’re a smart girl. If every “error” falls in the same direction, whatcha think that might mean? Think hard...”

She’s uncommonly well-informed and an outstanding political analyst. I can’t think of any better.

The “errors” have turned out to be calculated efforts.

The media outlets hired the architects of Crossfire Hurricane to run their content. So what consequences would you suggest? The foxes were hired to guard the hen house and provide consulting services.

…”DC runs on lies. The hallmark of every authoritarian government is lies. The USSR was famous for lies. Nobody in that country believed a word that they put out. It’s a shame to see our government go down that same road.”...

The rise of a totalitarian state must rely on lies and that is what we are seeing. Does it not go hand in hand with the rot in our culture at large? Think of the technique of political correctness where false is truth and truth is false. Where else would you have to go than to the denial of actual human biology to find a central core of such a thing. The totalitarian aspect comes in when individuals are attacked and intimidated when they speak the truth. We now have a left wing press which does this on a day to day, hour to hour basis. I find myself wondering what they will do when this all too familiar revolution (for anyone who has read history) does not turn out to favor them as they think it will. This nation needs to see some real justice come to pass. Without an uprising of those who still possess some sanity, we will be lost to the familiar state most people have lived in from the beginning of time which is master/slave. It is time to pray.

of course, the FakeNewsMSM should be indicted - they were colluders in Spygate/Coupgate.

and Fox News - the only MSM that reported on the facts - was pulled from cable in the UK by their owners at the very time Hannity/Solomon/Carter & co got into the nitty gritty of the biggest political scandal of all time.

29 Aug 2017: BBC: Sky stops broadcasting Fox News in UK
Sky is to stop broadcasting Fox News in the UK after low audience figures, the media firm has said.
21st Century Fox, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, said the channel was being withdrawn as it was not commercially viable.
The decision was not related to Fox’s takeover bid for Sky, a source told the BBC...
The source said that Fox News had about 2,000 average daily viewers...
However, figures from the Broadcaster’s Audience Research Board (Barb) suggest that Fox News’ average UK daily viewing figures were nearly 60,000 per day this year...
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-41087659

the audience numbers would have increased once the British public got the facts. instead, the Brits were left with nothing but FakeNewsMSM … and the internet.

At this point it should be clear that “the consequences” will come but they won’t be through “the formal venues” we are used to.

You could not get more agreement from me. People involved in this mess must be prosecuted, every single one of them.

The Democrats and the media henchmen have not interest in the betterment of the USA, all they care about is debauchery and perversion. Lining their pockets is one of their main objectives as well

The consequences for the fifth-column leftist media giving aid and comfort to the enemy are clear. Following their trial, conviction, and sentencing, the leftist media should be publicly hanged.

The consequences for the media should be a complete boycott of their media.

Every time you link to one of their websites their cash register goes “Ka-ching”. Same for when you watch their news (propaganda).

Sorry but the title makes it sound like they looked at the evidence and came to the wrong conclusion.

When the warrants are served on CNN and the New York Times for all computer hard drives, e mails and correspondence, there will be evidence linking publishers and CEO’s to the DNC/Congress.

That link is evidence of a criminal conspiracy to overthrow the government. Criminal acts of conspiracy are not protected by the first Amendment. The conspiracy rolls down hill to all at CNN and untold numbers at the Old Gray Whore

That would be very nice, but in my 73 years in this country, I have seen very little justice when the federal government is involved .

Trump found a cesspool/swamp, and it pretty much still is one.

Maybe I'm just in a foul mood watching this dirty little functionary, Horowitz. The guy is like the guilty little, sweaty book keeper of an Al Capone. Horowitz has that seeping cold fear constantly draped on his lamentable face. He is making me sick the more I see him.

He and the corrupt bastards at CNN will be drinking cocktails at the same parties again very soon.

The filthy insiders in D.C. around the room, secure their safe sweet cocktail easily in hand, arrogantly gazing at people of the like.

They all know and find comfort that above all…….. THEY ARE TRUSTED WITH THE LIES!

That is their glue..... their essence.

THEY ARE TRUSTED WITH THE LIE !!!!!!

Ok, Ok.....here’s the way it is.....

The DOJ has a spread sheet. the numbers of perps and the number of charges and the number of organizations and the number and complexity of connections is too great for the mind to comprehend. The game is for all, that is all, of the marbles.

First on the spread sheet are the rows, names, people who have committed crimes.

For each row there are a lot of columns, the name, the organization, the connection note number, the separate charges. One may have charges 2,43,67, etc while another has 2, 37, 87 and etc

Each name may have lots of charges, perhaps 20. Ten or eleven will be the average. To keep things straight, it is necessary to know the organization, FBI, Congress, CIA, MI5, Australian Government, Media, Clinton Machine, etc. Then there are a lot of notes related to organizational complexity. For instance note 21 refers to a connection between the perp and say the DNC or perhaps CNN CEO. Number 12 connects a staffer on the FBI to one or several congressional staffers. I don’t know how this will be entered because the interconnections may and likely are multiple. There might be a lot of notes

Everybody knows this vast interconnected web exists. To speak of it is taboo.

Everybody knows and understands the complexity of sorting it all out to get it all in order for the greatest the most voluminous court undertaking in the history of man kind.

There are many, lots and lots, here who whine and moan about getting on with it RIGHT NOW! They probably don’t understand what an Excel Spread sheet is. They certainly can’t comprehend how it will be used to encompass the infinite charges to be brought for the conspiracy to overthrow the government.

Compared to the spread sheet, the IG report is trivial nothingness . Recently, Rush alluded to just what I have been saying for months and months. The battle will be engaged at a time and place of the President’s choosing.

LOL! Right! Mollie is indeed a smart girl and, of course, she knows it was all a pack of lies.
