Suffice to say, the original story was impactful.

Bezos is an enemy of the American people.

You wonder if Richard Nixon would have been able to complete his second term if the Washington Post and CBS News were investigated for their quotes and stories on Watergate and that a good many of those quotes and stories would be proved false or fabricated.

[Eddie01]

When ever Woodward or Bernstein are trotted out, you know the complete story is a lie.

[Kaslin]

Big time.

The New York Times anonymously printed fabricated intelligence attributed them to a presidential candidate, and used those quotes as a basis to call for a Spcial Counsel to find a crime.

The Washington Post is a major actor of the fifth-column leftist enemydia.

FTA---- It’s a shame New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo didn’t try and kiss any of those grannies he
put in Covid-infected nursing homes (so a campaign donor could make millions of federal dollars).....
the media may have been obligated to cover Cuomo's deadly policies and their provenance.

"...In fairness to Post reporter Amy Gardner, “The White House did not respond to requests for comment,” and if they had responded, perhaps they could have swatted down the story..."

Yeah.

Right.

[rlmorel]

From the article: "...Trump’s shortcomings may be monumental..."

Dipstick author is part of the problem.

Suffice to say, the original story was impactful. “The president’s attempts to intervene in an ongoing investigation could amount to obstruction of justice or other criminal violations, legal experts said, though they cautioned a case could be difficult to prove,” reported the Post story.

Yes, it’s extremely difficult to prove a criminal violation when the person didn’t actually commit the crime. This sort of fabrication of evidence is best left to the experts like the FBI.

Bezos and his lying rag are slime.

“ few weeks later, House Democrats would cite the article and its fabricated quotes on page 10 of their impeachment brief, as well as highlight the article and its fake quotes in oral arguments during the televised impeachment trial.”

The MSM is destructive and unhinged. They have caused incredible damage to not only individuals, but society as a whole.

[Kid Shelleen]

It is much deeper than just the WaPo.

But wait! It gets much worse. Several other major media outlets — including NBC, ABC, USA Today, PBS, and CNN — “confirmed” the fabricated quotes from the Post’s anonymous source by, get this, citing their own anonymous sources

[MarvinStinson]

In sum: The Washington Post anonymously printed fabricated quotes they knew were from a second-hand source in the office of a political enemy, couldn’t confirm the quotes with additional sourcing, still attributed them to the sitting president of the United States, used those quotes as a basis to speculate the president committed a crime, and the Democratic party would later repeatedly cite the bogus article when attempting to impeach Trump for “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
