“A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its boots.” And now HHS spokesman Caputo is setting up Oval Office to enact Insurrection Act. Wow. Expect far more of this between now and election day. Perhaps they were useful idiots for the GRU. If you deal in misinformation, it is always nice to figure out if fact checks are optional if the scoop is big enough. There is certainly a lesson for media outlets to learn here (as well as voters!)

It is unclear what the FBI is investigating with the raid.

Throw a dart at the board. Also, did he remember to zip up his fly for this raid, or did they get him in his jammies?

I think when you’re the retired director of the FBI, you just have a quiet conversation with the right persons.

“Burkman suggested, without offering evidence, that the raid was connected to documents he planned to release related to Ret. Gen. James Mattis, President Trump’s former defense secretary who has since publicly criticized the President.”

The contents of every Mattis flush has more class than Burkman, Wohl, and Trump combined.

This seemly bottomless well of mendacity and misinformation deserves death by SWATing.

Burkman suggested, without offering evidence, that the raid was connected to documents he planned to release related to Ret. Gen. James Mattis, President Trump’s former defense secretary who has since publicly criticized the President. “[N]ot much freedom in our country anymore,” Burkman said in an email, “but. we plan to release the docs anyway.”

“As soon as we finish creating them.”

Too bad Hillary’s “Kill Squad” hasn’t gotten to these guys yet. (HEAVY SNARK EMPHASIS HERE)

But then again they seem quite capable of fucking themselves up enough to do the job themselves.

Pretty inept bunch I must say. So many guys revealings Killary’s secrets and they haven’t been able to silence a single one.

BUT they also tried to slime Elizabeth Warren with a male prostitute who claimed she was a butch dominatrix.

BUT they also tried to slime Pete Buttigieg with a young man they claimed Mayor Pete raped him.

Now the male prostitute showed up for the presser but actually was laughing while he made his statement; the young man refused to show up for the Mayor Pete presser because he said all he ever did was meet Mayor Pete and say how-de.

Warren grabbed that cougar story with both paws and ran with it.
