OMG! Fake News and CIA Fell for Incredible
2017-01-11
[PJ] Here is the latest Fake News lie: They actually believe this crap -- Trump partook in "golden showers" in Russia with prostitutes on a bed Obama once slept on... Russia then blackmailed Trump, not by asking for money or influence in his business deals, but by forcing him to run for president against all odds and win?

Here is the story that the CIA and idiots in the FAKE NEWS Media are pushing on America ‐ Here’s what they want us to believe -- Let’s recount:

Skipping down


And no one questioned this report? Seriously?

America, let’s face it. After eight years of Obama, we are in worse shape than we thought. No wonder Americans trust Wikileaks over the intelligence community.

#14  re: McCain

Benedict Arnold was a POW from the failed early Canadian campaign. Exchanged, he went on to lead the critical combat that lead to the victory at Saratoga. However, he never felt he got the recognition and rewards for his service, so, as well all know, his ego let him to betray his fellow Americans.

#13  I was kidding when I suggested Trump privatize the intelligence services, but it's starting to look like a good idea. At least he would know who they were working for.

#12  Deacon Blues' Daily Mail link wraps it all up in a bow for me. The honourable senator and former presidential candidate was the second person to be given that information to pass on to the FBI; somebody or several somebodies also tried to shop the story to various members of the mainstream media, who rejected it, then to various members of the anti-Trump media, who also rejected it until CNN broke the story and Buzzfeed published salacious bits from the file.

Apparently the salacious bits were not in the two page summary the intelligence community representatives shared with their future boss when they met with him to discuss Russian hacking.

And today Mr.Trump openly refused to take questions from CNN at his press conference, but unlike President Obama's early treatment of Fox News, he allowed them to be in the room with the rest of the press pool.

#11  McCain gave it to the FBI and then to the Democrats. Seems it was paid for by Republicans.

#6  Well, I read the "story" and after finding out that McCain was in part behind it, and that it was opposition research by the Dems and the NeverTrumps, I have to say they could have had a better story.

This is going to be the sleaziest four years of news. I mean when is the picture of Trump with a goat going to surface.

BTW, the picture of Trump and Vlad is wrong, they were riding Vlad's Russian Brown Bear.

#5  The Commodities and Futures markets seem to be blowing this "news" off. Good indicator.

#4  If Bill Clinton was the target of the smear the story would be entirely plausible. But not Trump and America knows it. Any fiction journalist who refers to this smear in the press conference should be escouted out and their fake press bureau banned for life from from the press pool.
