Major-media investigative reporting on the TRUMP-CHINA SCANDAL [Absolute MSM Garbage]
Newsweek and other MSM Sources via Twitter ^ | Seth Abramson

Posted on 04/24/2020 6:37:05 PM PDT by Fractal Trader

This thread summarizes the major-media investigative reporting on the TRUMP-CHINA SCANDAL, a bribery scandal involving Trump's hunt for dirt on Joe Biden in China, his debts to the Chinese government, and his decision to ignore life-saving COVID-19 intel.

1/ We begin with the context: Trump's history of viewing his endeavors as entwined and mutually reinforcing. For instance, despite contest-rigging being a felony, Trump has been accused of picking Miss Universe finalists based on where his businesses are.

[SNIP]

23/ We don't have to *wonder* what the connection is between Trump's trade war and Biden—Trump told us in October 2019. In that month, he discussed—in the same 30 seconds—his *leverage* with China and his request for Biden dirt from China. Watch the video

I remember last year when the NBA was, explaining and demanding apologies from the general manager for just re-tweeting a support of the Hong Kong protesters.

Quid pro quo, it’s all there in the billion dollar leftist establishment corporations

The media has been colluding with the chicoms this year running propaganda straight from the Chinese government media sources.

Biden is senile; this sounds like something that came out of his demented dreams.

this meme started with Trump-hating Anthony Zurcher/BBC. I posted this yesterday:

24 Apr: BBC: Coronavirus pandemic exposes rather than heals America’s divisions
by Anthony Zurcher, North America reporter
A battle between the Biden and Trump campaigns is also brewing over which candidate has the cosiest relationship with China - which many Americans view as responsible for the global spread of the virus that originated in Wuhan.
In competing advertisements, both sides suggested their opponent is too soft to stand up to the Chinese government...

Oct 2019:

re-tweets Anthony Zurcher, BBC senior North America reporter
Trump, talking about Chinese trade negotiations, less than a minute before he called on China to investigate the Bidens: “If they don’t do what we want, we have tremendous power.”

Based on the last 3 years, my WAG is that this report has been coordinated with the Democrats to provide “evidence” for another impeachment inquiry.

We’ll see.

Since when have any of these “super-sleuths” investigated any wrong-doing by a DUmocrat? Then it’s nothing more than another hit-piece by fake news DNC hacks.

Amazon: Proof of Collusion: How Trump Betrayed America Hardcover – November 13, 2018
by Seth Abramson
Seth Abramson has tracked every one of these far-flung reports and now, in Proof of Collusion, he finally gives us a record of the unthinkable - a president compromising American foreign policy in exchange for the promise of future business and covert election assistance. The attorney, professor and former criminal investigator has used his exacting legal mind and forensic acumen to compile, organise and analyse every piece of the Trump-Russia story. His conclusion is clear: the case for collusion is staring us in the face. Drawing from American and European news outlets, he takes readers through the Trump-Russia scandal chronologically, putting the developments in context and showing how they connect. His extraordinary march through all the public evidence includes: ETC...

Seth Abramson is a former criminal defense attorney and criminal investigator who teaches digital journalism, legal advocacy, and cultural theory at the University of New Hampshire. A regular political and legal analyst on CNN and the BBC during the Trump presidency, he is the author of eight books and editor of five anthologies. Abramson is a graduate of Dartmouth College, Harvard Law School, the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, and the PhD program in English at University of Wisconsin-Madison.

BBC’s choice - no surprise!

24 Mar 2019: Tweet: Seth Abramson, Newsweek, Author of New York Times bestsellers Proof of Conspiracy & Proof of Collusion
MEDIA NOTE: I will be on the BBC tonight (Newsday) to discuss Barr’s summary of the Mueller report. 11PM hour.
2 of the replies:
it’s official.. NO COLLUSION!...

So the Brits care to hear your opinion of a summary of a full report.
Why would anyone care about your opinion on that?

Wikipedia: Seth Abramson
After the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Abramson received widespread attention for his Twitter threads alleging collusion between the Trump campaign and foreign governments, especially Russia, but also Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Israel...
According to Avi Selk of The Washington Post, Abramson “has become virally popular by reframing a complex tangle of public reporting on the Russia scandal into a story so simple it can be laid out in daily tweets.”
Writers at The New Republic, The Atlantic, and Deadspin have described Abramson as a conspiracy theorist...
Virginia Heffernan writes in Politico that Abramson’s “theory-testing” is “urgently important.”...

In November 2018, Abramson published the New York Times bestselling book Proof of Collusion (Simon & Schuster), which sought to establish “proof of collusion in the Trump-Russia case.” A Playboy interviewer wrote of Proof of Collusion that “not one error has been found in the book.”...
During the 2016 Democratic primary race between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, Abramson supported Sanders...

Two thoughts:

He’s a far-leftist psychopath. Guess he never read the Mueller fictionalized report on “Collusion”. NONE!!

Secondly, I recall him being part of the original leftist list of hitwriters and smear artists (not all, but many) known as the Journolist. One such list can be found at www.keywiki.org. Lots of familiar anti-American names can be found on it.

Expect more fake news stories like this over the coming weeks as the John Durham show takes to the stage. Likely another round of impeachment to follow. MSM and their partners (the Dems) will be busy baffling the country with hot BS. Fiction writers are moving into overdrive at warp speed.
