The Significance of the Recently Released Russia Hoax Documents

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Within hours of her 2016 presidential campaign loss, a devastated Hillary Clinton attributed her defeat not to the American voters who rejected her, but to Russia, echoing a campaign theme she had been developing for months. “Hillary declined to take responsibility for her own loss” and “kept pointing her finger” at Russia, according to Shattered, a 2017 book about her campaign—“Her team coalesced around the idea that Russian hacking was the major unreported story of the campaign.”

The corporate media were also devastated, as they had spent the entire campaign mocking the idea that Trump and his anti-establishment positions on foreign policy, trade, and wokeness could appeal to voters. To the extent possible, they would help promote Clinton’s blame game.

In early January 2017, the Clinton campaign’s “Steele dossier”—a secretly funded collection of made-up stories and gossip alleging that Russia had dirt on Trump and that Trump was colluding with Russia against the United States—was published. Washington would be consumed by the Russia collusion hoax for the next two-and-a-half years. The investigations it spurred would bankrupt Trump associates, destroy lives, and hamstring Trump’s ability to govern. It led to draconian censorship campaigns against conservatives. It hurt Republicans in the 2018 midterm elections and the 2020 general election. But no evidence was found that a single American, much less Trump himself, conspired with Russia.

Fast forward to today. Six months into Trump’s second term, CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard have declassified and released long-suppressed documents detailing how President Obama and his spy chiefs laundered the Steele dossier and other falsehoods in an attempt to destroy Trump’s first presidency. The response from Democrats, the media, and many establishment Republicans has been to say that these suppressed documents contain nothing new or significant. Not true.

The Russia...

It had two very dangerous purposes and effects

First, was the obvious coup-attempt, Hillary’s corruption, and severe misuse and abuse of American Intel agencies and federal law enforcement

Second, to promote the dangerous narrative that Russia is our enemy and we should be prepared to go to war with them

Its why I believe that this wasn’t purely lies created by domestic demons like Clinton and Obama, but it was aided, abetted and even created by UK and Davos operatives not just to weaken/control the USA, but to further their own European/globalist foreign policy objectives.

You are correct in your belief.

Oh, good. I was considering posting that.

Sorry Mollie, Republicans lost the 2018 mid terms because of Republicans. 2020 was stolen.

Inasmuch as this document says what I would have expected to be true and although I am predisposed to take Mollie Hemingway's word on its face, to be effective at convincing those brainwashed to the contrary, when one is debunking a litany of lies, one must do so with references to said original documents. The left has published so much BS that it is a requirement, not an option.

Yes, I know, that's a lot of work, usually more than the content itself. That's just the nature of the battle in which we are enmired.
