CNN Producer: “Mostly bullshit”

 

CNN producer admits Russia narrative is ‘bullsh*t,’ just for ‘ratings’ (VIDEO)

 

Putin on #Russiagate

 

“Any talk about our influencing the outcome of the US election is all lies. They are doing it due to a number of reasons. First, they are trying to undermine the legitimacy of President Trump, create conditions that must preclude us from normalizing our relations, and they want to create additional instruments to wage an internal political war. And Russia-US relations in this context are just a mere instrument in the internal political fight in the US.”

Binney: #Russiagate no there there

Core Allegations Lacking in ‘Russiagate’

Conflicts of interest directly tied to anti-Syrian, anti-Russian propaganda complex The Atlantic Council. Eliot Higgins is a reptile there, and he’s been discredited for his false Sarin “case” against Syria, and false Ukraine propaganda to boot.

Comey displayed considerable discomfort on March 20, explaining to the House Intelligence Committee why the FBI did not insist on getting physical access to the Democratic National Committee’s computers in order to do its own proper forensics, but chose to rely on the examination done by the DNC’s private contractor, CrowdStrike. The firm itself has conflicts of interests in its links to the pro-NATO and anti-Russia think tank, the Atlantic Council, through Dmitri Alperovitch, who is an Atlantic Council senior fellow and the co-founder of CrowdStrike.

#Russiagate: The #Clinton Strategy

Norman Solomon:

How the Russia Spin Got So Much Torque

A lavishly-funded example is the “Moscow Project,” a mega-spin effort that surfaced in midwinter as a project of the Center for American Progress Action Fund. It’s led by Neera Tanden, a self-described “loyal solider” for Clinton who also runs the Center for American Progress (where she succeeded Podesta as president). The Center’s board includes several billionaires.

…Let’s freeze-frame how that sentence begins: “Given Trump’s obedience to Vladimir Putin.” It’s a jaw-dropping claim; a preposterous smear.

Echoes of such tactics can be heard from many Democrats in Congress and from allied media. Along the way, no outlet has been more in sync than MSNBC, and no one on the network has been more promotional of the Russia-runs-Trump meme than Rachel Maddow, tirelessly promoting the line and sometimes connecting dots in Glenn Beck fashion to the point of journalistic malpractice.

Bernie Sanders Now Lying at Trumpian Levels

link

1. No, it’s not “clearly we all want a positive relationship with Russia.”

Sorry, Bernie, that seems like a Trumpian level LIE. To say such a thing with a straight face is troubling, to say the least. Obama brought us to the brink of Armageddon last year. And Democrats said absolutely nothing about it. Further, Obama destabilized Ukraine, Victoria Nuland bragging about $5Bn spent subverting Ukrainian democracy. A violent foreign-sponsored coup tore Ukraine in half, under Obama, and where were you?

We remain at a hair-trigger alert for nuclear annihilation, Bernie. And this Russiagate shit directly increases hostilities between the two nations. Directly. And you just lied about it.

2. And then you lie about Syria, as if Assad is the sole perpetrator of violence! He is defending his country from armies–LARGE WELL-ARMED ARMIES–of the most despicable, psychotic terrorists on the planet! They are foreign-sponsored, armed, funded, trained. And the US CIA has been instrumental since 2011, despite being on the same side as AL QAEDA!

Bernie Sanders is a menace.

3. “No longer a debate about that issue?” (Russiagate)

Yet we’ve seen zero credible evidence to date. And even Clapper said there was no collusion. Feinstein too!

Sanders is the sandman. He’s here to impeach Trump, even if he has to lie at the same egregious levels as his target.

4. So Sanders will also investigate ISRAEL, SAUDI ARABIA, TURKEY, QATAR and other foreign powers who influence US elections?

Or it’s just Russia that makes it a “serious crime.”

Funny, we never heard about the extensive election shenanigans from those nations. This is figuratively and literally “Trumped up.”

5. Then Sanders continues with the demonization: “revealing sensitive information” about a “nation with policies that are at odds with our own…”

What does that mean, Bernie, in English, without the spin?

The Russians are ACTUALLY fighting AGAINST ISIS. The US, not so much. The US only fights ISIS in Iraq, but not inside Syria. In fact we bombed Syrian army units and helped ISIS, at least twice. Once in October of 2016 and then Trump’s big Tomahawk stunt helped ISIS.

6. Sanders tells the Pollyanna bullshit about “intelligence sharing” as if these intelligence agencies weren’t in-fact HELPING ISIS and AL QAEDA in the shadows because they can get away with it. Hey Bernie, why do they have all those weapons? You’re disingenuous.

Even your Vice President spilled the beans and was quickly told to shut up. The shutting up part is as important as what Biden revealed:

“[Erdogan…the Saudis, the Emiratis, etc.]…poured hundreds of millions of dollars and tens of thousands of tons of weapons into anyone who would fight against Assad, except that the people who were being supplied were al-Nusra, and al Qaeda, and the extremist elements of jihadis coming from other parts of the world.”

7. Talking out of both sides of his ass, Sanders tells us how information sharing about terrorists is a good thing, and yet information sharing about terrorists with the Russians–who are actually killing terrorists in Syria–is by default a bad thing. Russia is not allowed to be an ally or to help in any way, according to Bernie Sanders, the CIA, and the foreign policy establishment. That’s what’s really going on here.

8. Except where was that Special Prosecutor for Obama’s support to Al Qaeda? Bush’s Treasonous cover-up of 9/11? CIA drug running, since forever? Obama’s destruction of Libya, Ukraine and Syria?

You’re very selective Bernie, in which crimes you decide to go after and which you do not. Very, very selective. It’s blatant hypocrisy.

A little reality check for Bernie Sanders:

Why Not a Probe of ‘Israel-gate’?

DISPUTED!!! (Seth Rich’s Laptop: Communicating with Wikileaks.) #Russiagate

Family Rejects FOX Report

UPDATE

The Family Of A Murdered DNC Staffer Has Rejected A Report Linking His Death To WikiLeaks

A report on Monday evening claimed to find links between slain DNC staffer Seth Rich and WikiLeaks. But Rich’s family told BuzzFeed News, “[W]e see no facts, we have seen no evidence, we have been approached with no emails.”

Suspicious investigator?

Yet Rich’s family said in its statement that the private investigator was “paid for by a third party” and under his contract had been “barred from speaking to press” without explicit authorization from the family.

Why are these “journalists” so incompetent?

Question 1: WHERE’S THE LAPTOP?

Question 2: WHY HAS IT TAKEN ALMOST A YEAR TO DO BASIC INVESTIGATION OF WHO RICH WAS IN CONTACT WITH?

Question 3: WHY ARE HIS CONTACTS BEING HIDDEN AND NOT EVEN THE FAMILY HAS SEEN THE DATA?

MORE

Seth Rich's new "family spokesman" is Brad Bauman a professional Democrat crisis PR consultant with the Pastorum Group.
