OPINION: How Team Hillary played the press for fools on Russia

By Paul Sperry October 26, 2017

$1:

Hillary Clinton’s campaign didn’t just pay for the Kremlin-aided smear job on Donald Trump before the election; she continued to use the dirt after the election to frame her humiliating loss as a Russian conspiracy to steal the election.

Bitter to the core, she and her campaign aides hatched a scheme, just 24 hours after conceding the race, to spoon-feed the dirty rumors to an eager liberal media and manufacture the narrative that Russia secretly colluded with her neophyte foe to sabotage her coronation.

But it was Hillary who was trying to kneecap Trump, even after he licked her, fair and square, in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan and other blue states.

Exhibit A is the book “Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign,” by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes. In light of this week’s revelation that Hillary’s campaign funded the dirty anti-Trump “Steele” dossier, the book takes on a new significance. It reveals:

“Within 24 hours of her concession speech, [campaign chair John Podesta and manager Robby Mook] assembled her communications team at the Brooklyn headquarters to engineer the case that the election wasn’t entirely on the up-and-up. For a couple of hours, with Shake Shack containers littering the room, they went over the script they would pitch to the press and the public. Already, Russian hacking was the centerpiece of the argument.”

The plan, according to the book, was to push journalists to cover how “Russian hacking was the major unreported story of the campaign,” and it succeeded to a fare-thee-well. After the election, coverage of the Russian “collusion” story was relentless, and it helped pressure investigations and hearings on Capitol Hill and even the naming of a special counsel, which in turn has triggered virtually nonstop coverage.

Russian lawyer reportedly met with Kremlin official before Trump Jr. sitdown
A new Media Research Center study finds that, since the inauguration, major TV news networks have devoted an astonishing 1,000 minutes out of a total 5,015 minutes of Trump administration coverage discussing speculation that the Trump campaign may have colluded with Moscow in hacking Clinton campaign emails, “which means the Russia story alone has comprised almost one-fifth of all Trump news this year.” In contrast, they so far have devoted just 20 seconds to the more substantive scandal of Hillary and her husband possibly trading US uranium rights for Russian cash.

MRC analysts also found that more than a third of the networks’ Russia “scandal” coverage was based on anonymous sources who worked in the Obama administration, including Hillary’s State Department.

Though some of that coverage has proved erroneous, leading to retracted stories and fired reporters, the damage is done. Trump’s approval ratings have suffered, and the Russia investigation has distracted the administration.

Which was also part of Hillary’s plan.

In March, former Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri summed up the post-election strategy in a Washington Post column comparing “Russiagate” to Watergate and encouraging the press and other Democrats to “turn the Russia story against Trump.”

“If we make plain that what Russia has done is nothing less than an attack on our republic, the public will be with us. And the more we talk about it, the more they’ll be with us,” she advised. “Polls show that voters are now concerned about the Russia story and overwhelmingly support an independent investigation.”

In short, Hillary couldn’t beat Trump with the political dirt she secretly purchased during the campaign, so she tried to cripple his presidency with help from an overwhelmingly anti-Trump media. Framing Trump as some sort of modern-day KGB plant was an easy sell, since the pro-Democrat media were also searching for a scapegoat to rationalize the crushing defeat of their shared liberal agenda at the polls.

The irony is, it may have in fact been Hillary who came closer to colluding with the Russians in smearing Trump as a Russian traitor than anything Trump did in trying to beat Hillary. The information in the dossier she bought for millions came from Russian intelligence sources, and her lawyers brokered the deal with a Kremlin-tied lobbyist. When it failed to stop Trump, the Russia paymaster turned into the Russia spinmeister.

Now we really know “What Happened.”

CDS = Clinton Derangement Syndrome

Oh someone’s being played for a fool alright.

With the first charges against the Trumpkins having been filed, the Deplorables are really starting to lose their shit. The closer the hog gets to the slaughterhouse the louder it squeals.

Could be right, Beave. Most likely wrong about who though.

The Russian collusion narrative is falling apart. There will be many embarrassed politicians in the near future

By John Dietrich
Well, it seems that things are falling apart, the center is not holding. There are those on the left who will not abandon the “dossier” fiasco. As late as Oct. 7, 2017 the Guardian described it as “one of the most explosive documents in modern political history.” This “dossier” was an obvious fraud and no one in the intelligence community believed otherwise. People who claimed it might possibly have value were deceiving the public. They did this because it was the only thing they had to justify an investigation of the Donald Trump campaign. According to the Wall Street Journal, the dossier “became a factor in Obama administration decisions to launch an FBI counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign.”

This batch of memos had circulated through the media and intel community for months when BuzzFeed published the full document in January 2017. As long as it was not public, it could be vaguely referred to in order to support the charge that Trump was owned by the Russians. Once it was published, it became obvious that it was a fraud. This is revealed on the first page. No experienced intelligence officer would classify a Sensitive Source as Confidential. If he did he would be looking for a new job or possibly be behind bars.

The other implausible claim in the document concerns the “golden shower” allegations. 4Chan, an imageboard website, has claimed responsibility for this hoax. Under the circumstances, 4Chan has as much or more credibility than the former heads of three of the major intel agencies. They have not perjured themselves in front of the U.S. Congress. Their claim is that they mailed this “fanfiction” to Rick Wilson, a noted Never Trumper. They claim that Wilson then gave it to the CIA. In October 2016, Wilson on the Jamie Weinstein Show claimed: “there are some things out there that I think would cause even his most passionate supporters to go, ‘Whoa, wait a minute.'” It appears that he was hinting that he had some privileged information.

This would all be a very humorous incident except for the fact that the “dossier” was used for such a nefarious purpose. Trump’s attorney, Michael Cohen, stated “It’s so ridiculous on so many levels. Clearly, the person who created this did so from their imagination or did so hoping that the liberal media would run with this fake story for whatever rationale they might have.” C. Mitchell Shaw claimed, “the dossier does not read like the product of ‘a former British intelligence operative.’” He continued, “With its bad grammar, poor spelling, and lousy format, the dossier reads much more like what the anonymous 4Chan user claims: a prank that wound up being wildly successful beyond anything its perpetrators could have hoped.” Even Piers Morgan commented, “The moment I heard about it, my gut reaction was that it was utter nonsense.”

Eventually, the details about these memos will be revealed. We live in a new age. Dan Rather found this out when he attempted to pass off a computer generated memo he claimed was created in the 1970s. San Francisco area professor Eric Clanton discover that wearing a mask would not prevent him from being identified when he used a bike lock to assault a man. All of the electronic communications dealing with these memos are available. The chain of acquisition is on the Internet. The only thing lacking is the willingness to find them. Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke claims that one third of the Interior Department’s employees are disloyal to the president. The intel community may contain an even higher percentage of employees who do not want to see the president succeed. They will not be enthusiastic about uncovering information they feel would benefit the president. Perhaps they need a new team to discover the origins of these memos.

“Crackas with Attitude” appears to have the aptitude to do the research. This is a British group, and not Russian. They were able to hack into the email accounts of CIA Director John Brennan, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, FBI Deputy Director Mark Giuliano and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson. When they hacked CIA director Brennan's AOL account, they discovered a number of classified documents which were later published on WikiLeaks as well as the Social Security numbers of more than a dozen top American intelligence officials. The British eventually arrested the 16 year-old youth.

It has now been revealed that the DNC paid Steele for his efforts. The Washington Post reported that, “After the election, the FBI agreed to pay Steele to continue gathering intelligence about Trump and Russia.” It is only a matter of time before all the details of the “dossier” affair are revealed to the public.

I'll give them one thing. Maybe you will too. Clinton probably would have been an awful president. The Clintons have a natural sleeze factor that is probably equal to the likes of Warren Harding. They can't help being corrupt, not with that milieu they came out of in Arkansas. It's just the way they are. Plus she's artificial, with every word and move practiced more for approval than because it would be genuinely good for the country.

All that aside though there's no way in hell Clinton would have been as bad as Trump has proven himself to be. It's simply not possible. Whatever her flaws she would not present an existential threat to the safety and security of the entire planet. She would not have been a singular figure threatening to wipe out over two hundred and thirty years of constitutional federalism and jurisprudence. And she certainly wouldn't have been the motivating figure that riled up the worst and ugliest aspects of the American character.

To mooch from the Iranians, Clinton would have been the Little Satan with Trump undoubtedly the Big Satan. There is no arguable doubt about this. It's simply not possible for her to be worse of a president or worse as a person than that vile sack of shit clearly is.

Yeah sure, allegations are “falling apart”.

That’s exactly what it means when the decision is made to file criminal charges.

Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Crime Family is crooked as they come and Trump's no better because he had to get dirty to do business in New York. Voters know this and they also know the difference between the two is she's part of the old tired do nothing establishment while he's not and that's why they voted for him.

[Thanos]

Under a second President Clinton there would be a massively reduced risk of a nuclear exchange with North Korea, something Trump has deliberately stoked just because it increases his traffic among his meathead followers on Twitter. Clinton would have been awful but she wouldn't end her administration with the unnecessary deaths of millions of people on her hands the way that Trump will.
