After news of an email
chain between Donald Trump Jr. and a British go-between was disclosed by The New York Times, viewers on CNN were told this is the long-awaited
“smoking gun” on Trump/Russia collusion.
Trump Jr. was told by a
business acquaintance that a Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, had information
implicating Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee in illegal
foreign campaign contributions from Russia.
Jonathan Turley writing
for The
Hill believes President Trump’s eldest son “fell for a classic
bait-and-switch. Veselnitskaya was
representing people seeking to lift the adoption ban and it was certainly
amateur hour in Trump Tower. If this is
the best the Russians can do as their big play, we have little to worry about.”
“It is common for
foreign governments to withhold or take actions to influence elections in other
countries. Information is often shared through various channels during elections
from lobbyists, non-government organizations, and government officials. This
includes former Clinton aide Alexandra Chalupa, who allegedly worked with Ukrainian
government officials and journalists to come up with dirt on Trump and
Manafort,” Turley continued.
The game the media is
playing is dangerous. It is
effective. If you keep your attention on
the news of the day, it is easy to become disillusioned, disappointed and even
depressed. This is what journos want.
Donald Trump has
defiled the office of the President of the United States! He must resign! We must impeach. We must resist!
Charles Hurt (whom I
love) opined in his piece in The
Washington Times, “The
Clintons would NEVER search for dirt against a political opponent. Just ask Bernie Sanders, Vince Foster or
Barack Obama. Or Monica Lewinsky! And if they ever did accidentally stumble upon
the dirt of an opponent, the Clintons would be TOTALLY forthcoming about it
when asked about it. It is the Clinton way. Just ask Ken Starr. And, famously, President Obama would never stoop so low as to
allow the world’s most powerful espionage apparatus to spy on his political
opponents—except for all the times he did. In the past year. That we know
about.”
The pull quote from
Hurt’s piece is worth remembering from this point forward:
“This whole
hyperventilating media drive-by investigation is nothing more than pure
hysteria, the phantom pain from having lost everything—when you were so, so
certain that you would win everything.”
The
American people are wise to the game being played. Their trust in the legacy
media, an arm of the DNC, has been lost and likely will never be regained.
Speed with which Democrats and journos went from mocking GOP saying "the cold war is over" to "Russia is our enemy" makes me laugh so hard— Comfortably Smug (@ComfortablySmug) July 12, 2017
