Media Still Lying to Cover Clinton’s Voluminous Arse

There’s more than one way to tell a lie — and the mainstream media have mastered them all. Misdirection, straw-man, strategic omissions and barefaced lies: they’re all on grim display in this staggering piece of propaganda from The Guardian. (Whodathunkit!)

Anti-hate speech activists have condemned the Republican US congressman Jim Jordan for his apparent endorsement of Donald Trump’s declaration that members of Hillary Clinton’s campaign staff should have been executed.

Except that almost none of that is actually true. Trump never said anyone “should” be executed — he merely pointed out that Clinton’s henchmen have apparently been caught out at a crime that would once indeed have attracted the death penalty.

But don’t expect the Grauniad to tell you that. Nor to address the explicit and repeated invocations to violence in recent years from the left. After all, this is the mainstream media who called burning cities “mostly peaceful protests”. Instead, they shriek falsehoods about “the far-right” and “inciting violence” and rehash every Orange Man Bad lie they’ve been running since November 2016.

In fact, it’s not until near the very end of the article — where they know no-one will bother reading — that they drop a single line about what should be the scandal dominating headlines.

Jordan appeared on Fox & Friends to discuss a filing by justice department special investigator John Durham, a Trump appointee, that alleged operatives paid by the Clinton campaign had accessed White House servers in an effort to “dig up dirt”.

Wait, what?

Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign paid an internet company to “infiltrate” servers at Trump Tower and the White House in order to link Donald Trump to Russia, a bombshell new legal filing alleges.

Wait, wasn’t Donald Trump’s claim that the Democrats were spying on him just a “conspiracy theory”?

Special Counsel John Durham filed a motion related to potential conflicts of interests in connection with the case of Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, who is charged with lying to the feds, according to Fox News.

Sussmann allegedly told the FBI he was not working on behalf of Clinton when he presented the agency with documents that supposedly linked the Trump Organization to a Kremlin-tied bank two months before the election.

Except that, as it turns out, he very much was. And what he was doing goes right to the heart of the Clinton/mainstream media lies about “Russian collusion”.

Records showed he “repeatedly billed the Clinton Campaign for his work on the Russian Bank-1 allegations,” which involved an investigative firm, a tech executive, cyber researchers and numerous employees at internet companies, the motion reportedly stated.

In 2017, Sussmann provided “an updated set of allegations” about then-President Trump’s Russian connection to another government agency, the motion said, according to the outlet.

Among the accusations leveled at that time was that suspicious DNS lookups by Russian-affiliated IP addresses “demonstrated Trump and/or his associates were using supposedly rare, Russian-made wireless phones in the vicinity of the White House and other locations,” the motion reportedly said […]

Durham said his office found “no support for these allegations,” claiming the supposed evidence Sussmann provided was incomplete and skewed […]

Kash Patel, who was chief investigator of the House’s probe into Trump’s alleged Russian ties, said in a statement that Durham’s filing was “definitive” evidence that Clinton’s campaign orchestrated “a criminal enterprise to fabricate a connection between President Trump and Russia.”

So, it turns out that Trump was right all along, that there was no “Russian collusion” on the former president’s part, and that Hillary Clinton was party to an alleged criminal enterprise aimed at undermining the US government.

So of course the media lie and deflect.
