This.Thing.Won’t.Go.Away.
… no matter how hard they try to push the narrative that what matters is Hillary-related people “lied” about having partially funded for the dossier, that is.
(eta: Posted this thread below in another thread. Re-posting here).
This news is why we’re seeing them go bananas today over a giant nothingburger with respect to Fusion GPS. I almost thought Ingraham’s head was going to pop off her shoulders she put on such an elaborate fake hissy fit about “Clinton colluding with Russia” in the video I saw earlier on the Faux News website.
One way to shut the Repub head-bangers TFU is to throw Nunes a bone, and reveal who the original Republican was who started the entire Steele dossier with GPS. Yes, Democrats funded some of the research. That is no surprise and nothing to be ashamed of. But, let’s see who started this entire shooting match. Was it Cruz? Bush? Rubio? Was it the RNC??? As long as the Republicans are throwing stones and hissy-fits, lets let them chastise one of their own.
Julian Assange is the most loathsome piece of shit in this affair. He’s nastier than Trump and out does him bigly in the ego department. Who is the Australian fuck to jack with our elections and expect to walk after doing so? I hope they find him in back alley someday.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!
Ummm…no, it’s not “turned around.” The only thing that will be turned around is Trump, before eh gets bent over by Mueller. Ready, Trumpy? I hear Russian caviar makes a great lube…
“No puppet!,” huh? How about “partner in crime”?? There has been smoke for months, I think the fire is going to start burning soon.
I don’t think that approach will gain much. Just stick to the main point: who cares who paid for it…what’s in it?
Republicans care who paid for it, and that is being exhibited by the freak show we’re seeing right now. By claiming collusion by Democrats, this entire narrative supports their hold on public perception, which is what they need to continue to hold on to their power. You don’t care who paid for it. I don’t care who paid for it, but until we find out who started all of this, Republicans will continue to point a very loud finger at Democrats. They will continue to do this until we force them to publicly admit the truth. They can’t do that, so they simply shut up. That’s good enough for me.
See how desperate they are? See how far and to what lengths they’ll go? This is ridiculous and amount to nothing more than “oh yeah, well, we’ll manufacture a false equivalence so that we don’t have to be the only ones with a Nixon in our midst.”
Edit: Oh, and guess who is rearing her ugly head in relation to this…which is no doubt playing a HUGE role in how it’s getting spun and abused by the GOP propaganda machine in order to “justify” the bullshit Grassley and other GOPers are engaged…GUESS. That’s right…Victoria Toensing…lifelong GOP activist and anti-Clinton conspiracy pusher.
I’ve been saying for MONTHS NOW that this all leads back to the Mercer-owned “Cambridge Analytica”.
They are the ones who told the Russians what to steal, and who and how to micro-target Americans for propaganda purposes.
They are the ones that designed the Facebook and Twitter mis-information and “Wedge” campaigns to fracture the American voters into splinter groups and turn on each other.
This is WHAT THEY DO. You just never hear about it because Big-Data companies like this keep a low profile and NEVER talk about who their clients are.
FYI - They did the EXACT SAME THING in the “Brexit” campaign in the UK earlier.
They were working for the Ted Cruz campaign (Whom the Mercers supported before they switched to Trump) before he was defeated and they then moved over to support Trump, at their owner’s orders.
It was Jeb Bush.
This is the old: “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with BullShit.”
They cannot get the MSM to drop the “Whole Russia Thing” so they will bury them under an avalanche of FALSE INVESTIGATIONS to take their eyes off of “the man behind the curtain” and then DEMAND that they “Cover the SCANDALS” on their news shows, to the total exclusion of the Mueller investigation.
Remember, “If it Bleeds it Leads” so the more the Republicans can “wave their hands and rend their clothing” about these totally bullshit investigations the more they MSM will cover them.
This is the “Benghazi” strategy on steroids.
We are so guilty of catching then candidate Trumpp at exactly what he was doing and with whom and we are furthering our guilt by proving the still to date, on-going relationship.
What we are guilty of, is not getting all of this information out well before the election so that the voters could’ve made better and more informed decisions.
Just like Ben Ghazi, the desperate on the right can make wild accusations but they are empty and unprovable. They are still swinging wildly into thin air with nothing to prove.
The guy that broke the story was on Rachel & said “Give us a day or two”
Me too. And they actually own Bannon and Breitbart. I want to know what financial entanglements the Mercers have with Putin and the Russian oligarchs. It must be significant for them to sell out their country. Make no mistake – these people are based in the US but they do not see themselves as Americans committed to our constitution and democracy. They are part of scheme to create a new world order ruled by them and a handful of oligarchs and despots. They are traitors. They are criminals – hiding in the shadows controlling their puppet trump.
Your comment is thought provoking and highly suggestive. I’d like to hear more from you, especially your assertions about the Mercers and the Wedge campaigns. Can you point to underlying facts?
What first came to my mind when I read about the Assange connection was that if the Trumpettes were aggressively reaching out to Assange, they were certainly reaching out to others, casting a wide net to get - or manufacture - smears on Hillary. An outreach campaign that would have almost certainly included the “Soviets”. (Using that term quite deliberately)
Trying to recall any “damaging” info on Trump and/or the Republicans that Wikileaks publishes? If none, doesn’t that call their vaunted non-partisan transparency into question???
To be fair, anytime Trump or Trump related investigations pivot, it’s a 360 degree pivot, which is technically turning around.
It was Trump.
