How Did Russiagate Begin?
Nation ^ | May 30, 2019 | Stephen F. Cohen

Posted on 06/02/2019 6:54:15 AM PDT by libstripper

t cannot be emphasized too often: Russiagate—allegations that the American president has been compromised by the Kremlin, which may even have helped to put him in the White House—is the worst and (considering the lack of actual evidence) most fraudulent political scandal in American history. We have yet to calculate the damage Russsiagate has inflicted on America’s democratic institutions, including the presidency and the electoral process, and on domestic and foreign perceptions of American democracy, or on US-Russian relations at a critical moment when both sides, having “modernized” their nuclear weapons, are embarking on a new, more dangerous, and largely unreported arms race.

Cohen is the Russia scholar who's often appeared on the Tucker Carlson Show. A thing to remember about the Nation is that, far left magazine that it is, it still bears a strong dislike for the Witch, a dislike so strong that, in about June of 2017, it published a full expose of the fraudulent claim that "the Russians hacked the DNC emails." I suspect their motivation for this real journalism is they were strong Sanders supporters who were infuriated over how the Witch stole the nomination and the strong possibility that Seth Rich. the likely leaker of the emails, was murdered on her orders.

IMO, it was when then Candidate Trump jokingly said (paraphrasing) “If you want to recover Hillary’s emails call the Russians”

Yup, he’s suffered that nasty piece of work for years. She’s a nasty one.
Her daughter made her angry insisting on flying a US flag out her window after 9-11.

Stephen came out relatively early pointing out the SpyGate BS.
He thinks it’s pure folly.

SOURCE: CONSERVATIVE TREEHOUSE | 4/9/2019 | SUNDANCE / FR Posted by bitt
A late day submission to DC Circuit Court in a FOIA case reveals the content of previously
unknown James Comey memos. Obama's entire anti-Trump operation is memorialized in writing:
<><> how Obama’s FBI Director James Comey wrote down the sources and code-names assigned;
<><> how confidential sources engaged with FISA coverage initiated by Obama's FBI;
<><> naming foreign governments assisting Obama and Hillary with their vile efforts;
<><> and the rollout plans for Obama's phony investigation....."by the book."

======================================

During the campaign Hillary bragged about “foreign governments” supporting her election.

Are these the same “foreign governments” Comey had assisting their efforts to frame Trump? (smirk)

That would mean Obama and Hillary were colluding with
foreign governments to meddle in our elections, wouldnt it Donald?

I don't know. All I know is the Nation>/i> has run some remarkably pro-Trump articles during this whole dispute, a thing I ascribe to their being Sanders supporters who're infuriated with the Witch for stealing the nomination from him. (Please note, I always refuse to call the Witch a "bitch" purely our of deep love and respect for my wonderful dogs' mothers and urge all other FReepers to give female canines the same respect when discussing the Witch.)

Yes, married since 1988.

I've never seen Cohen before but she is a big Lefty tool.

You can't find many sources further Left than The Nation. They're Left of the NYT and the Washington Post

Does it bother you that there are people on the left who aren’t fooled by the Trump/Russia collusion fraud?

If not, how could it possibly matter who the author’s wife is?

As stated further down in the article, the fraud wouldn’t have gone far without the leftist media flacking it endlessly.
I think there’s good evidence that many of them were IN on it. Videos of various talking heads guffawing at the idea of a Trump victory, and many “guaranteeing” that Trump would NOT EVER be President, tells me they KNEW about the “insurance policy” and the subsequent coup attempt. Hang ‘em high!

Simple question to answer, bring Mueller before the Senate. This weak minded fool will squeal like a pig.

That is so true. The FBI has been feeding their select sources in the press for years to drive the news cycle. And the media has been doling out favors to the corrupt agents; tickets, meals. It’s ben a very cozy arrangement which if fully exposed will not only show how corrupt the FBI has become but how complicit the media is in the corruption.

For me, I am interested in relationships. It has nothing to do with politics or race or gender. It is pure interest in relationships.

OTOH, my hubby is all the time talking about how folks in DC are intermingled. That is, for instance, one person high up in news business might be the husband of leader in Dem politics. Perhaps there are connections with Wall Street. So many connections in DC from what I understand.

Also, OTOH, I have never been able to understand how lawyers can fight each other on a case in the court room and be lovers behind the scenes. i wonder how a person can do that.....but it happens.

Off topic......sorry

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It began when Hussein realized Crooked Hillary must win....in order to cover up the years of spying on US citizen, decades of selling out US assets/secrets, illegal arms dealing, espionage, treason....

sedition was the only solution.

It’s rather astonishing to see something like this from a left-wing source.
