‘I Was Just Joking’: Media Apoplectic as Khizr Khan Attack on Donald Trump Goes Down in Flames
Breitbart ^ | 8/1/2016 | MATTHEW BOYLE

Posted on 08/01/2016 4:57:15 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Mainstream media figures from the New York Times to the Huffington Post to CNN are apoplectic Monday as their latest attack on Donald J. Trump, the Republican nominee for president, has crumbled yet again under the slightest bit of scrutiny.

Specifically, the newest line of attack to fall apart is the criticism of Trump over Khizr Khan, the Muslim Gold Star father who spoke at the Democratic National Convention last week.

Over the weekend and for the past few days since Khan spoke alongside his wife Ghazala Khan about their son, U.S. Army Captain Humayun Khan, who was killed in Iraq in 2004, media-wide reporters, editors, producers, and anchors have tried to lay criticism on Trump over the matter. They thought they had a good one, a specific line of attack that pitted Trump against the military—and supposedly showed him as a big meanie racist in the process.

But, as Breitbart News showed on Monday midday, that clearly was not the case. Khizr Khan has all sorts of financial, legal, and political connections to the Clintons through his old law firm, the mega-D.C. firm Hogan Lovells LLP. That firm did Hillary Clinton’s taxes for years, starting when Khan still worked there involved in, according to his own website, matters “firm wide”—back in 2004. It also has represented, for years, the government of Saudi Arabia in the United States. Saudi Arabia, of course, is a Clinton Foundation donor which—along with the mega-bundlers of thousands upon thousands in political donations to both of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaigns in 2008 and 2016—plays right into the “Clinton Cash” narrative.

Trump could have honored the son while dissing the father.

-----------------

He did. but, you won't hear that on the MSM.

This is how we know, Pearls Before Swine, only listens to the deceptions of the MSM and demonstrates how they manipulate Americans. It's very sad.

I know it took him a couple of days to correct his course, or at least for the media to pick up on it.

It doesn’t change the fact that I’m voting for him, but the battle is over the mushy few percent that decides elections. They seem to be affected by the ebb an flow of news.

Want to insult me again?

He did say kind words for the son.


CONNECT THE DOTS:

Khizr Khanm Pakistani, lived in the UAE before coming to the USA.
In the legal profession as a “litigation technology specialist”.

From 2000-2007, Kahn was manager of litigation technology for Hogan & Hartson
the DC law firm involved with managing Hillary’s email system.

Loretta Lynch also worked at Hogan - 2002-2010.

“New York tax attorney Howard Topaz, Clintons’ personal tax lawyer,
is a partner at Hogan & Hartson.

Capt Kahn was killed in what may have been an attempt to kill fellow soldiers.
... one eyewitness said they had seen the suicide car, but were never warned by Capt. Kahn.

Soldiers were in a position where they would get killed, lining them up ...

This reminds me of the House Committee hearing during Reagan, when a family lost a member working for the Sandanistas, killed by the Contras, was accused by a Republican Congressman of trading on the death of a son to condemn Reagan;s support of the Contras. The Slimes were outraged that a Republican could disrespect the family of someone who had died. Never mind, they were trying to profit from that death to benefit their political partisan beliefs.

Kazir Kahn was trading on the death of his son, to advance his political agenda.

More info about the son:

I haven’t heard that yet. The first info was that he inspected a suspicious van, and when it blew, he was killed but his men weren’t harmed.

Can you summarize, or point me to the info? If there’s more background, I’d like to hear it.

connections to the Clintons

If this is all about what Trump said about the father then..

If it is true that the father is associated with Muslim Brotherhood then he is due criticism for using his (secular Muslim?) son's service to America and sacrifice.

The father is using this to help to bring down the Constitution and implement sharia law and crap like that. The aged 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, pshcho spoiled brats (the Clintons) and their ideological issue (Obama and MSM employees) are letting the father wave around the Constitution like clock boy promoted his clock scam.

wiki source about Fidel Castro's daughter. "Asked if she dreamed of returning to Cuba, Fernández replied, "I don't know. During these long years, I've become a tree that is getting older and older but has no roots." "She is critical about the government of Cuba, where she lived until 1993."

She is a good American and criticism of her father is mean and must be stopped. Fidel must be honored from now on.

Holy crap about the suicide car/attempt to frag the companion solders! Thanx.

The Dad stuff makes it clear he was a Dem operative on call.

Absolutely. Mainstream media has made Trump look like the bad guy...again. He’s begun to trip over his ego.

The affair gave Trump a nice opening to use Twitter to smack the living sh!t out of the Clintoon Noos Networx.

And he did so royally today. Over and over. Bee-You-tee-Ful!
