In exchange for the help, Trump’s team agreed to side with Russia on the Ukraine issue. According to Steele’s Aug. 10, 2016 memo, Page had “conceived and promoted” the idea of releasing stolen DNC emails through WikiLeaks in order to swing Democrats away from Hillary Clinton and towards Bernie Sanders. Steele also claimed that Page met in Moscow with two Kremlin insiders, Igor Sechin and Igor Diveykin, in early July 2016. Diveykin is alleged in the dossier to have told Page about blackmail material on both Trump and Hillary Clinton. George Papadopoulos The FBI’s initial collusion theory involved Papadopoulos, a 32-year-old energy consultant. On July 31, 2016, the FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation into Papadopoulos based on a tip the bureau had received from the Australian government. Alexander Downer, the Australian High Commissioner to the U.K., had claimed that during a May 10, 2016, meeting in London, Papadopoulos told him that Russia had information on Hillary Clinton that it planned to release later in the campaign. Michael Cohen The former Trump lawyer is accused in the dossier of visiting Prague in August 2016 to meet with Kremlin officials for the purposes of paying off hackers. “The agenda comprised questions on how deniable cash payments were to be made to hackers who had worked in Europe under Kremlin direction against the CLINTON campaign,” reads Steele’s Dec. 13, 2016, memo. Paul Manafort In addition to being linked in the dossier to Carter Page, the former Trump campaign chairman was found to have sent cryptic emails during the campaign referencing Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch who was locked in a business dispute with Manafort. The email has widely been interpreted as Manafort suggesting that he would use his job on the Trump campaign to settle his debts with Deripaska. Trump Tower Democrats have seized on a June 9, 2016, meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and a group of Russians as the strongest verifiable evidence of collusion to emerge during the Russia saga. “After 2 years, Robert Mueller has delivered his report, stating there was no collusion in the 2016 Presidential election,” Goldstone said. “That includes my email to Donald Trump Jr. and the subsequent Trump Tower meeting … which as I have stated from the beginning, had nothing to do with collusion.” Roger Stone and Jerome Corsi One theory of collusion that emerged over the past year was that Trump confidant Stone and conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi were linked to WikiLeaks. Peter Smith One of the more bizarre collusion conspiracy theories involved Peter Smith, a GOP donor and political operative who lived in Chicago.
Wait. Does this mean that Breitbart, Fox, Daily Caller, etc. have been correct this whole time and that MSNBC, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, NYT, Salon, Media Matters, etc. have been pushing a fake narrative and publishing fake news?
I would like to see some opp research done on that guy and blumenthal too. They have funny eyebrows and faces, the way child molesters and men who stand in rape lines do.
Some excerpts below: https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/435552-apologies-to-president-trump Apologies to President Trump BY SHARYL ATTKISSON We in the media allowed unproven charges and false accusations to dominate the news landscape for more than two years, in a way that was wildly unbalanced and disproportionate to the evidence. We did a poor job of tracking down leaks of false information. We failed to reasonably weigh the motives of anonymous sources and those claiming to have secret, special evidence of Trump’s “treason.” As such, we reported a tremendous amount of false information, always to Trump’s detriment. And when we corrected our mistakes, we often doubled down more than we apologized. We may have been technically wrong on that tiny point, we would acknowledge. But, in the same breath, we would insist that Trump was so obviously guilty of being Russian President Vladimir Putin’s puppet that the technical details hardly mattered. So, a round of apologies seem in order.
It'd be bad enough if there were two years of pointless investigations on a President who seemed to be a nice, well mannered and straight shooting guy. But what makes this even worse is that there is plenty of stuff the left could have been focusing on all along about Trump that people - even supporters of his - don't like about him. It's not like Trump gives the left a lack of material to go after him on.
It looks like righties are ok with the Russians meddling in the election and having cabinet members obstruct investigations if they're calling this a charade.
