Journalists propagate another wild tale from Fusion GPS’s Glenn Simpson.
Washington in 2016 saw one of most audacious dirty tricks in political history: the Donald Trump -Russia collusion claim. Now it’s happening again—same partisans, same media; new conspiracy, new victims, including the National Rifle Association.
Remember how the Trump-Russia trick played? Hillary Clinton’s campaign hired opposition-research firm Fusion GPS to compile a dossier of salacious Trump allegations. The Fusion team delivered it to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, then, when briefing reporters, cited the bureau’s interest to establish the document’s credibility. To this day the accusations in the dossier have not been corroborated.
To pull this off, Clinton partisans needed government officials willing to entertain wild claims and media willing to propagate them. Both still exist in abundance, as we now witness a new conspiracy theory elevated into news.
This is only possible with a thoroughly corrupt Press complicit in another attack on the Trump Administration.
The MEDIA is the DEEP STATE.
Yes, they do as directed. But not all of them, just most.
Have you studied the effect of the Senior Executive Service?
Very sobering.
Operation Mocking Bird is still alive and well.
Give a little intellect some power and it turns dictatorial almost instantly.
No, but they are in partnership with it.
Partnership, as in married to it, or in the family.
Yep, you mailed it. My point was that they are not the Deep State in toto.
True. Although my original statement was a very simplified description, the whole truth is that it is very complex and far reaching.
While each entity may believe it has the most 'power', the truth is that they are like mutual parasites. They depend on each other to stay alive.
Absolutely.
