Anatomy of a media hit job — how press pushed Clinton’s lies against Trump
NY Post ^ | 11/09/2021 | Post Editorial Board

Posted on 11/10/2021 6:48:37 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Russiagate has fallen apart, with special counsel John Durham exposing the notorious Steele Dossier as a collection of lies and made-up stories. But you wouldn’t know it by reading most of the media, which have mostly ignored the story.

More importantly, they haven’t faced up to their own part in pushing this witch hunt. Relying on one anonymous source — ex-British spy Christopher Steele — they spun a supposed conspiracy between Donald Trump and Russia. But they never revealed the fact that Steele was being paid by Hillary Clinton’s campaign for opposition research, and they never examined Steele’s sources, who were unreliable or nonexistent.

So did Republicans.

By June of 2017 everyone in DC knew it was a Hillary hit job and yet Republicans continued to assist in keeping it going.

A handful didn't, and they should be promoted. Jim Jordan for Majority leader in 2023.

You are correct, a handful.

The only way to get Jordan into leadership is to replace most of the 145 that voted for Liz Cheney in February

I’m betting Hillary and her goons were behind PizzaGate too... she wanted to change the subject. And she, and Bill and their friend Epstein are weirdos...

From the article:
Then: Following on the January report in the Journal, the Washington Post says that Millian is behind the claim that “Trump had hired prostitutes at the Moscow Ritz-Carlton and that the Kremlin has kept evidence of the encounter.” The Post continues to pump up the Millian’s claims as possible, saying “there are also indications that he had contacts with Trump’s circle.”

Now: Again, Durham found Millian never spoke to Danchenko, and the hotel story is a complete fabrication.

From the article:
Then: As the dossier looks more and more flimsy, the FBI scrambles to justify the investigation into Trump, with the media’s assistance. The Times quotes anonymous officials: It wasn’t the dossier that caused the FBI to open an investigation. “Instead, it was firsthand information from one of America’s closest intelligence allies.” ***

Now: We know the dossier was used as justification to wiretap Carter Page, even if Papadopoulos’ idle chatter — he had heard the information from a Maltese professor named Joseph Mifsud, but didn’t receive any of this supposed dirt — came out around the same time. The story reads now like the FBI anonymously trying to minimize an embarrassment. Nonetheless, the Times wins a Pulitzer for this story and other reports.

Sessions would not have been advised to recuse, Rosenstein would not have appointed Mueller ...

Just saying, the hitmen were and remain all over the government. Congress included. Crickets all around. This is how they roll.
