Title: NYT just can't let it go
Post by: Lucifer on July 08, 2017, 02:38:31 PM
So, once again Trump goes overseas, makes many successful moves, gives a great speech, has a good meeting with Putin, etc, etc.

All positive.

So the NYT just can't take it.  Now we see, yet again, another hit piece filled with innuendo, claims of secret documents and of course anonymous sources.  No facts, no names, nothing verifiable.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/08/us/politics/trump-russia-kushner-manafort.html

NYT along with CNN and the WashPo have become irrelevant and aren't even worthy to be considered journalism much less news.   They are nothing more than propagandist for the radical progressives.

The mango Mussilini has been clamoring this whole time that the Russian thing was naught but smoke and mirrors.  Now it turns out that his son was actively trying to get dirt on Hillary Clinton from Russian government sources.  Lots more smoke, and maybe a little fire too.

Are you sure the Russian was a Russian government source?
Do you have a problem with a politician trying to get dirt on an opponent?

I admit, the optics are bad, especially when viewed through the MSM spin machine.

What "Russian government sources"?   Can you cite something other than CNN or NYT for a valid source?

 And to be sure, I assume you are implying the Hillary campaign did absolutely nothing to dig dirt on Trump?

Nothing wrong with digging up dirt on your opponent, unless that dirt comes from a foreign government inimical to our interests.  I think that there's treason, though I wouldn't go too far out on a limb over it.

And another big fat "no".

Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya reportedly lured Donald Trump Jr. and other members of his father’s presidential campaign team to a meeting at Trump Tower last June with the promise of providing compromising information on Hillary Clinton.

Veselnitskaya has denied any affiliation with the Russian government. A spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters Monday that the lawyer’s name wasn’t even known in the Kremlin. So who is this latest player now at the center of the ever-changing accounts of ties between the Trump campaign and Russia?

According to an affidavit she submitted to U.S. District court in Manhattan last year on an unrelated matter, Veselnitskaya has been practicing law in Russia since she graduated from the Moscow State Legal Academy with a degree in jurisprudence in 1998.

For three years following graduation, Veselnitskaya said, she worked in the Moscow Prosecutor’s Office, “overseeing the legality of statutes that were adopted by legislators of Moscow Oblast,” before forming her own private law offices in 2003.

Veselnitskaya was allegedly involved in orchestrating U.S. screenings of an anti-Magnitsky film in June 2016, the same month she reportedly sought a meeting with then-presidential candidate Donald Trump’s oldest son.

Though Putin has been a vocal opponent of the Magnitsky Act since it was first considered in Congress, the Kremlin has denied any connection to Veselnitskaya, insisting that it was not even aware of her name.

Lets review:
1. The Kremlin(where Putin works) has no knowledge of her.
2. Natalia has directly and repeatedly stated she doesn't work for the Russian govt.
3. Trump Jr stated she did not represent the Russian govt.
4. She was seeking influence from Trump Jr about the Magnitsky act, and possible overturning it because it interfered in a multi-million dollar judgment against one of her principal clients(who lost, and paid up).
5. She used a third party with connections to Trump Jr to bait him into a meeting by mentioning some kind of vague negative info about Clinton.
6. Trump Jr, in doing his oppo gathering about a rival political party, and in the interest of seeing that NO foreign influence was at work in the DNC accepted the meeting.
7. She delivered the proverbial 'nothing burger'.
8. They talked about Magnitsky act, and that adoptions from Russia might be a bargaining chip if there was movement.
9. Trump Jr told her to go pound govt sand.
10. End of another ludicrous effort to link the prez with some kind of Russian influence.

Y'know, I have the walk back the AG thing.  That's what it sounded from the outset, but it wasn't that bad.  One the other hand, if all these supposedly erudite folks were meeting with her to get dirt on Clinton, why would they bother if they didn't see her as "connected"?  I doubt they would have comet see me en masse had I emailed that I had dirt on Clinton.

Still, a far, far cry from Trump's claim that there was no collusion with Russia whatsoever, which he has maintained repeatedly.  I'm certain that matters not a whit here.  No matter what happened, Trump is innocent and vindicated, and anyone who says anything bad about him has either made it up or is on a liberally-inspired witch hunt.  You guys apparently don't mind begin lied to so long as the liar in chief does it.

If the Democrats come up with any actual evidence of an actual crime, then I will criticize Trump with the best of them.

But when I wake up each morning and wonder what new accusation will be hurled at Trump, then I open the newspaper or web site news and see multiple new accusations, none of which have any real evidence of any real crime, then I admit I do get a little defensive and supportive of Trump's rebuttal tweets.

 I have to admit, it is fun watching you make a complete fool of yourself over and over. 

 First of all, campaigns dig dirt on their opponents, that's a fact.  I can guarantee you Hillary invested millions in trying to find anything to use against Trump.  I can guarantee you that the DNC had staffers dedicated to dig dirt.  And what did they come up with?  Basically nothing.  Hence the constant propaganda from the MSM trying to produce a scandal from thin air.   

 And I can also say the RNC also spent considerable time and money digging dirt on Hillary.  But most likely they didn't devote as much time and money since Hillary is such a well known criminal and of course has had a scandal plagued life.


Still, a far, far cry from Trump's claim that there was no collusion with Russia whatsoever, which he has maintained repeatedly.  I'm certain that matters not a whit here.  No matter what happened, Trump is innocent and vindicated, and anyone who says anything bad about him has either made it up or is on a liberally-inspired witch hunt.

 Again, you don't even know what the word collusion means, you're just parroting what you see on CNN.   How many investigations have turned up nothing?  How many congressmen, Senators and heads of Intelligence agencies have repeatedly stated there is no proof?   

 
You guys apparently don't mind begin lied to so long as the liar in chief does it.

 And yet you hold these two serial liars as sacred.

The democrat party has been hijacked by the progressive movement.  They stand to the left of Lenin and Marx now and are being run by a small group that are intent on bringing down this country.  If they weren't controlling the MSM then more than likely hardly be heard from.

 Let them keep it up. Conservatives are seeing through the charades and the centrist democrats are beginning to back away from them.  Come 2018 mid terms expect even more democrat seats to be lost.

 Also, more people in this country are cutting off the cable and going to Internet TV services which means the cable news outlets are taking a hit.  Broadcast TV is also on a decline.  With the internet people now have choices on where to find news and filter out the MSM fake news.

With everyone now rummaging through every document, intercept, and memo for something, anything tying Trump to Russia, The Hill's John Solomon and Jonathan Easley have unearthed details that show the Russian lawyer who penetrated Donald Trump’s inner circle was initially cleared into the United States by Loretta Lynch's Justice Department under "extraordinary circumstances" after she had initially been turned down.

The Russian lawyer who penetrated Donald Trump’s inner circle was initially cleared into the United States by the Justice Department under “extraordinary circumstances” before she embarked on a lobbying campaign last year that ensnared the president’s eldest son, members of Congress, journalists and State Department officials, according to court and Justice Department documents and interviews.

This revelation means it was the Obama Justice Department that enabled the newest and most intriguing figure in the Russia-Trump investigation to enter the country without a visa.
