The Media's Collusion With Enemy States and Foreign Hackers
2018-07-02
[SultanKnish] On Tom LoBianco’s LinkedIn profile, the former Associated Press reporter self-identifies as a "White House reporter covering Trump Russia probes." At CNN, LoBianco writes that he "covered the 2016 presidential race and the Russia probes."

Now LoBianco is in trouble for reasons having nothing and everything to do with the Russia probe.

Earlier this year, Elliot Broidy, a Trump ally and Republican fundraiser, was targeted by Qatari hackers. Broidy had been sharply critical of the terror state which has been linked to everything from 9/11 to Iran. And his emails were quickly peddled to media figures who spun them into pro-Qatari hit pieces.

When Broidy struck back with a lawsuit targeting Qatar and its lobbyists, phone records showed that LoBianco had spoken three dozen times to a registered foreign agent of the Islamic terror state.

...Stolen emails have become typical tools of political warfare. But colluding with foreign agents and receiving stolen emails from foreign hackers is at the center of the Russiagate allegations. Yet the same reporter investigating Russiagate appeared to be involved in his own Qatargate. And he wasn’t alone.
Of course that pales compared to official security agencies using foreign intelligence service to spy on a presidential candidate.
