While You Weren’t Looking, the Democrat–Media Election-Hacking Narrative Just Collapsed
national review ^ | March 6, 2917 | ANDREW C. MCCARTHY

Posted on 03/06/2017 10:43:47 PM PST by bitt

That supposed FBI investigation of collusion with the Russians? Never mind . . . They’re in retreat now. You may have missed it amid President Trump’s startling Saturday tweet storm, the recriminations over president-on-candidate spying, and the Jeff Sessions recusal — a whirlwind weekend. But while you weren’t looking, an elaborate narrative died. For months, the media-Democrat complex has peddled a storyline that the Putin regime in Russia hacked the U.S. presidential election. There is, of course, no evidence that the election was hacked in the sense that the actual voting process was compromised.

I think the Democrat media was caught unaware by Trump’s twitter. Never ones for independent thought the harpy parrots went into he has no proof ridicule mode.As it is starting to come out that indeed there are wiretapped transcripts sitting in the Obama White House, look for the shift to follow the Shumer storyline that there may have been taps but they were legal because “a federal judge” approved them so there must be a there there.Once it is knocked down that there never was a there there because all Obama’s agencies are on record that there was never a nexus between Trump campaign and the Russians then we get into the real fun phase of lots of splainin’ to do.

I'd given up on National Review during the primaries and General Election however this article is a great read.

A few more of these and I'll have to put NR back on my reading list.

Thanks for finding and posting.

Maybe it IS Steve .... and by not being an “official/verified” account, he has plausible deniability should he ever need it. I’ve been a fan of Bannon’s since I saw him right after AB died/was killed and he was talking about keeping Breitbart alive and continuing with AB’s plans for it. I very much liked what I heard & I was glad to see him on board the ‘Trump Train’ as a close advisor.

Hw and Darrell Issa have accomplished pretty much nothing. No jail, no fines, no resignations, nothing.

Posers.

It was never about Trump conspiring with anyone to do anything against Clinton or anyone else. Trump worked like a superhero to win a US Presidential election via creating a movement composed of all of us who have been marginalized and wounded by the past 8 year reign of globalists through their surrogates: zer0, cankles and the other traitors to free humanity throughout the western world.

This is a globalist operation not limited to nation states, but perpetrated through a cabal of international intelligence operatives in the service of power elites.

GCHQ(with other intel agencies around the world) and our intel agencies cooperate to give each other cover from the various putative legal protections supposedly in play in each country.

GCHQ is a cutout designed to protect zer0 & co. Trump threatens not just the NWO, but the present world order.

Anyone know if Jeff Sessions can nullify his “recusal” ? It seems that the new investigation of Obama & his thugs makes the recusal meaningless, as the two investigations are necessarily of the same page.

You're suggesting that it isn't about Trump conspiring with the Russians to take down Hillary Clinton; it was really Obama conspiring with the British to take down Donald Trump?

What I think (just IMHO, nothing more) is that the Brits, who vacuum Intel just like us, passed along the raw data to the USA like they always do. It's not their fault; it's what Obama did with it.

Sessions should NEVER have recused himself. Its a sign of weakness the other side considers a gift to them.

Still, the legal ramifications of the recusal are still under review.

Sessions said he’d recuse himself on matters relating to the campaign....and only the campaign.

That’s the way I understand it.

This is my understanding as well. However it would shake up the Obamathugs to no end if Sessions could merely cancel the so called recusal. Just MHO

“convos”

I’ve seen liberal writers use that word, but have no idea what they’re talking about.

This is unraveling for the Democrats. I expect their ultimate defense will be that every president from George Washington to Obama “spied” on domestic targets. They’ll go heavy on the Republican administrations especially Nixon and W as a defense. Right now they have no other recourse than to muddy up the waters and threaten to expose the GOP globalists and their criminal activities to stop this from spinning out of control.

“Another possibility is that the eavesdropping was done by a foreign intelligence service (ie. the British). The Christopher Steele situation suggests that the UK government was involved and was working in collaboration with the Obama administration.”

Like extreme rendition? You hand over the means to a third party to do the dirty work and you can then claim you never did it - but benefit nonetheless?

You would think by now, Comey would have wanted to clarify.

Comey is director of the Federal Bureau of Obfuscation. His entire career is steering things in the globalists crime family direction while creating huge clouds of smoke.
