New York Times Forced To Retract Longstanding Lie About Russian Interference

So the whole "17 intelligence agencies confirm Russian hacking" story the Dems eagerly and desperately latched on to and gleefully spread was a big lie. It was total bullshit. Once again Susan Rice lied her ass off on tv to the American people. So did CNN, MSNBC, and the major networks.

They tell and repeat the lie thousands of times since 2016, and then there's a quick silent retraction, but by then their vile lies have taken root. I never believed any of it. How fucking pathetic for those that did.

Really, you mean the assessment made by these four intelligence agencies about the Russian hackings is not enough for you. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Security Agency.

The premise of the story is of the Russian hacking. Instead, for you its about a mistake made by the Times about how many agencies signed off on the assertion of Russia interference.

For me these four saying its so is good enough. If you're American and not just a sockpuppet, it should be enough for you as well.

GOP Operative Sought Clinton Emails From Hackers, Implied a Connection to Flynn

Republican who said he was working with Michael Flynn tried to get Hillary Clinton emails from hackers

A Republican operative who said he was working with former Trump campaign adviser Michael Flynn tried to obtain Hillary Clinton’s emails from hackers, according to a report.

Emails from before the 2016 presidential election show that Peter Smith and his associates treated the future National Security adviser and his company as “allies” in their search, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.

Smith, a private equity financier, died at 81 on May 14, according to a Chicago-area obituary.

The Journal reported that it spoke to him 10 days before his death, when he said he knew Flynn but never stated that Flynn was involved in his email plan that began around Labor Day 2016.

No, it isn't. There was a time when the President, the Vice President, the Scy State, the Scy Defense, and the CIA stood should-to-shoulder and told us all the Saddam had WMD. Judith Miller of the NYT carried Cheney's water by publishing exclusive "leaks". But it was all bullshit.

Attribution of intrusions is very difficult, especially since the NSA developed tools which allow anyone to look like anyone else.

So do you really think that the NSA (which BTW engaged in illegal surveillance of possibly millions of people, and lied about it to the press, and which to this day maintains a database of illegally/ questionably obtained surveillance data) and its sister agencies (which freely access the NSA database) would have done anything to reveal its masquerading software?

Nope! They'd all line up, shoulder-to-shoulder, and claim "the Russians did it". And BTW, the FBI never even examined the server containing Podesta's email. They just let some third-party tell them what happened. Consdiering how the FBI bungled the Hillary email investigation, I wouldn't trust them to investigate my shoelaces.

So, if this Republican researcher is looking for the emails in hacker chatrooms, it kind of implies that he had no previous connections to hackers, and didn't have the emails, otherwise he wouldn't be blindly poking around on the internet.

If anything, this story exonerates this one particular individual. And if he really DID have a connection to Flynn, it exonerates Flynn as well.

Correct?

To that I will respond with an article from the Times, and I would remind you, time is on my side.


Free Advice to Trump Aides: Quit While You Can


” No one knows the next national joke that will have Mr. Spicer as a punch line, but one thing is clear. As long as he works for this president, he is unlikely to recover his dignity.

“General McMaster spent decades defending this nation, earning his integrity and honor. Trump squandered it in less than 12 hours,” responded the Republican strategist John Weaver in a tweet. The journalist and former speechwriter for George W. Bush, David Frum, asked: “How does McMaster not resign today? That thing he said ‘did not happen’ the president has just defended doing.”

The same is true of most people in Mr. Trump’s orbit. To serve this president is to be diminished.

It took Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein a mere two weeks in the administration to trash his sterling reputation through his involvement in Mr. Comey’s firing. Trump associates have tried to pin the blame for the president’s manifold displays of incompetence on the White House chief of staff, Reince Priebus — whose internal nickname, according to The Week, is Rancid — but the truth is that Mr. Trump is ruining Mr. Priebus’s reputation, not vice versa. Lesser-known figures will also probably find that their time in the administration has hindered, rather than helped, their career prospects.

As Mr. Stephanopoulos noted in 1998, “A single trip to the grand jury can cost you $10,000.”

Congressional and legal investigations into Mr. Trump’s presidency — including his ties to Russia, his firing of Mr. Comey and the overlap of his business interests and his governing responsibilities — are likely to be even more extensive than those Mr. Clinton faced, particularly if Democrats take back either house of Congress next year.

Meanwhile the Democrats are squandering yet ANOTHER golden opportunity, just like Obama squandered a golden opportunity when he came into office.

The more the Democrats engage in this pettiness, the more THEY will be tainted with Trump. Instead of harassing the President over nonexistent illegalities, they should be coming up with credible plans to solve America's problems. If they spent as much press time talking abut their plans as they did griping about everything "Trump", they would stand a much better chance of winning the next election,

What nonsense on their part. That's not leadership. Come up with something better.
