DeSantis: NYT Papadopoulos Claim Not What FBI and DOJ Told Congressional Investigators
The Last Refuge - Conservative Treehouse ^ | 12/31/2017 | Sundance

Posted on 12/31/2017 4:17:05 PM PST by mojito

Florida Representative and Judicary Committee member Ron DeSantis appears on Sunday Morning Futures and deconstructs the leaked intelligence community propaganda pushed by the New York Times.

Essentially DeSantis states the claims surrounding the origin of the 2016 Russian Probe, made by the leaked intelligence sources, does not align with the sworn congressional testimony given by the FBI and DOJ to the judiciary committee.

@02:00: “There was just an article in The New York Times yesterday where they’re leaking about this Papadopoulos, which actually conflicts with previous stories, and is not anything anyone can say under oath on-the-record to us. You look at that and say, “Ok you’re not willing to answer Congress’s questions under oath but you’ll leak things to the media?”…

As many DOJ/FBI as was involved it’s only a matter of time before one of them flips to save their own skin.

So a drunk aid claims the Russians have dirt on Hillary (which they no doubt do) and THAT triggers an investigation?

Never passed the smell test. That being said, we are dealing with the Obama Administration. Someone from the Trump campaign just saying the word “Russia” might have triggered an investigation. And that is nearly what this is.

The lies from the DOJ and FBI are so bad and many. They didn’t care because they all beleived Clinton was going to win the Presidency. Hope they all do time in club Fed(at least they better). This thing is bigger than Watergate by a long shot.

Yep. Either NYT just pulled this out of their arse or someone intentionally pushing lies to them and they got an erection running to print it. Being used to push propaganda by the so-called intelligence community.

It’s laughable this is what is being pushed to launch an investigation when we know it’s been that fake ass dossier the entire time. We’re just supposed to ignore the text as well from the hack talking about “insurance policy”.

"Same here. In fact the thing read like a slick fiction writer’s blog."

Did the story start out with: "It was a dark, and stormy night..."?

This Papadopolous story is a last minute attempt to restart the Russia/Trump collusion narrative. Mueller's run into a dead end on "collusion" but the democRATS still need some hook to hang their hat on to impeach Trump.

This is also their best effort at redirecting the attention of the media and enemies of Trump away from the real crimes of the Obama administration.

This whole "doosier-was-used-to-obtain-FISA-warrant-to-spy-on-Trump" storyline appears to be causing some panic on the Left.

It's steering the investigation into a U-turn and heading it back into the "Obama-Hillary-Clapper-Brennen-Lynch-Comey-committed-crimes" territory. Just a little too close for their comfort

We’re about to find out if there is indeed rule of law and equality under the law—or if the deep state swamp is a super-government within a facade of the constitutional US government. Off with their heads!

Correcto Mundo! Everytime I have seen him on Fox News, he displays skills of how to make a complicated story easy to understand. I am excited he is running for governor of my state of residence, Florida.
