1) Comey was fired because he asked for more funding to investigate the Trump / Russia connection (1000% fake, none of anything that was alleged happened except the fact that Comey was fired)

2) Deputy AG threatened to quit less than 3 weeks on the job because he didn't like Trump (exposed as yet another lie)

3) Trump disclosed classified information to the Russians (first the POTUS can disclose whatever he feels is warranted, second everyone in the room said he disclosed nothing he should not have disclosed in good judgement, and third, it happens all the time according to people who help high level security jobs) just assholes being assholes

4) Republican majority leader in the House said Putin is paying Trump, transcript proves otherwise

5) Republican healthcare bill to treat rape as a preexisting condition (not only is this a lie, it simply wouldn't matter anyhow since Trump wants to make sure preexisting conditions are covered)

6) Comey is going to testify that he never told Trump he wasn't being investigated, proving Trump is lying. The exact opposite already happened, proving Trump was telling the truth

7) Trump committed obstruction of justice by trying to pressure Comey into dropping the Russian connection investigation. Comey said no such "obstruction" occurred, and he's the only man that really knows.



Every story gets extended national coverage on each and every democratic news organization, and their lies are never retracted

I think criminal charges need to be brought against the democratic media, they're trying to manipulate American politics in a much larger manner than Russia ever did. If what Russia is doing is so wrong, why doesn't that same standard apply to our own media?

Slapping-silly90))

That's a good one Willie. It was so clear he was joking around with a few guys. Everyone was laughing, and he was giggling while he said it.

Yet the media pretended he actually meant it.

Pathetic.

Here's the way it works. Liberals eat this shit up. Everyone else ignores it.
Trump would be wise to do the latter.

Rubio's question says all you need to know about the lying colluding media.


“You know, this investigation is full of leaks left and right. We’ve learned more from the newspaper sometimes than we hear in these open hearings for sure,” said Rubio.Do you ever wonder why of all the things in this investigation the only thing that’s never been leaked is the fact that the president was not personally under investigation, despite the fact that both Democrats and Republican leadership of Congress knew that, and had known that for weeks?”

Gloria Borger at fake news CNN, claimed Trump lied a few days ago, stating that unconfirmed sources revealed Comey
never told Trump he wasn't being investigated. Comey stated today that 3 times he told Trump that
Trump was not being investigated.

I think the Democrats and their criminal corrupt colluding media need new sources. It's getting embarrassing, you'd think they'd get lucky once in a while.

The only sources they have are in their minds.

" Trump has made a blanket claim that Comey told him multiple times that he was not under investigation. But one source said Comey
is expected to explain to senators that those were much more nuanced conversations from which Trump concluded that he was not under investigation.

On CNN’s air, analyst Gloria Borger put matters more starkly, saying, “Comey is going to dispute the president on this point if he’s
asked about it by senators, and we have to assume that he will be. He will say he never assured Donald Trump that he was not under
investigation, that that would have been improper for him to do so.”

But, as we illustrated earlier, this afternoon’s prepared remarks 100% refuted those “facts” and given that little problem,
CNN published a correction to its story…

CORRECTION AND UPDATE: This article was published before Comey released his prepared opening statement. The article
and headline have been corrected to reflect that Comey does not directly dispute that Trump was told multiple times he was
not under investigation in his prepared testimony released after this story was published.'

You'd think that with CNN having the "FAKE NEWS" cloud around them they would not be so unprofessional. Instead they
seem to be cementing the new catchword nickname they so rightly deserve.

A Pro-Trump Conspiracy Theorist, a False Tweet and a Runaway Story[/h]








Former F.B.I. Director James Comey departing the Senate Intelligence Committee hearing after testifying on Thursday.
AL DRAGO / THE NEW YORK TIMES

[h=6]By JEREMY W. PETERS
[/h][h=6]JUNE 10, 2017[/h]

WASHINGTON — Jack Posobiec had his Twitter sights set on James B. Comey.


A pro-Trump activist notorious for his amateur sleuthing into red herrings like the “Pizzagate” hoax and a conspiracy theory involving the murder of a Democratic aide, Mr. Posobiec wrote on May 17 that Mr. Comey, the recently ousted F.B.I. director, had “said under oath that Trump did not ask him to halt any investigation.”

It mattered little that Mr. Comey had said no such thing. The tweet quickly ricocheted through the ecosystem of fake news and disinformation on the far right, where Trump partisans like Mr. Posobiec have intensified their efforts to sow doubt about the legitimacy of expanding investigations into Trump associates’ ties to Russia.


But as the journey of that one tweet shows, misinformed, distorted and false stories are gaining traction far beyond the fringes of the internet. Just 14 words from Mr. Posobiec’s Twitter account would spread far enough to provide grist for a prime-time Fox News commentary and a Rush Limbaugh monologue that reached millions of listeners, forging an alternative first draft of history in corners of the conservative media where President Trump’s troubles are often explained away as fabrications by his journalist enemies.


In this fragmented media environment, the spread of false information is accelerated and amplified by a web of allied activist-journalists with large online followings, a White House that grants them access and, occasionally, a president who validates their work. The right-wing media machine that President Bill Clinton’s aides once referred to as “conspiracy commerce” is now far more mature, extensive and, in the internet age, tough to counter.


In an email, Mr. Posobiec described his work as “reality journalism — part investigative, part activist, part commentary.” A day before his tweet, the White House had allowed him into an Oval Office photo op with the president, and he tried to ask a question about Seth Rich, the murdered Democratic National Committee staff member.



Once Mr. Posobiec pushed the send button on Twitter, the conservative media machinery kicked into gear. Later that day, Breitbart News published an account of Mr. Comey’s May 3 testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee under the headline “Comey Under Oath: ‘Have Not Experienced Any Requests to Stop FBI Investigations.’”


GotNews.com, a website that often misrepresents media accounts of the Russia investigation to cast Mr. Trump in a more favorable light, repeated the claim but also raised the possibility of a more serious offense. Mr. Comey, the site said, might have perjured himself if he had claimed in a memo — as outlets including The New York Times have reported — that Mr. Trump pressured him to call off an investigation into Mr. Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn.


The next day, the perjury question was the subject of an article on InfoWars, the home of Alex Jones, a conspiracy theorist who has called the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks an inside job and questioned whether the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., really happened. InfoWars had almost five million visitors in the last month.


That afternoon, Mr. Limbaugh was also onto the story, telling his audience, “Comey said, under Senate oath, he had never been pressured to halt any investigation.” As evidence, Mr. Limbaugh read straight from the GotNews.com article. The whole Russia investigation, he declared, is “a political witch hunt.”


That account of the Comey testimony has lived on in the weeks since, with Sean Hannity of Fox News citing it as recently as Tuesday night. “And by the way,” he insisted on his program, “James Comey also said it never happened.”


What actually happened in the Judiciary Committee hearing was hardly an exonerating moment for Mr. Trump. Senator Mazie K. Hirono, Democrat of Hawaii, asked Mr. Comey whether “the attorney general or senior officials at the Department of Justice” had ever tried to halt an investigation. Mr. Comey, then still the F.B.I. director, said they had not.



Never did Ms. Hirono ask Mr. Comey anything about Mr. Trump in that exchange, nor did Mr. Comey volunteer anything about the president’s words to him. (Mr. Posobiec insisted that he had misrepresented nothing, saying Mr. Comey’s comments “certainly could include President Trump, who is the senior official of the entire executive branch.”)


Mr. Trump has had no small role in the elevation and legitimization of dubious news accounts and the sources that spread them — he is both consumer and enabler.


The president has shared discredited information from his Twitter account on subjects like voter fraud. He has publicly embraced those who trade in these kinds of theories, appearing, for instance, on Mr. Jones’s radio program while he was running for president. And after the election, he called Mr. Jones to thank him for his support.


Mr. Trump has been seen reading material from GotNews.com, an outlet founded by Charles C. Johnson, who has also helped start a crowdfunding website that pays for private investigations and legal defenses for fringe conservative causes. Among its current campaigns is one to help a man accused of sending a journalist with epilepsy a Twitter graphic that triggered a seizure.


In February, the president was spotted with a printed copy of a GotNews article in the Oval Office. The article, which claimed to pinpoint a source of leaks from within the West Wing, was shown to him by his wife, according to one person with knowledge of the encounter — first reported by Politico — who did not know how the first lady had come across it.


The site’s tagline now reads: “President Trump reads us. You should too.”


The architects of the effort to discredit Mr. Comey seem to be working from a playbook straight from a political campaign, said Angelo Carusone, the president of Media Matters, a liberal group that is tracking Comey threads in the conservative media.



“This is why they are being effective,” he said. “They are really engaging in a pure persuasion effort. They are not playing by any established rules. And they are cashing in on the mistrust and uncertainty people feel about traditional news media.”


They are also taking advantage of the proliferation and polarization of avenues to spread their message.


“The ability to mitigate such disinformation campaigns was far easier in the 1990s,” said Chris Lehane, who worked as an aide in the Clinton White House. Back then, he added, “for the most part the existing distribution channels were not as segmented across ideological lines that, in effect, create parallel realities that run along ideological grounds.”


Mr. Posobiec, a 33-year-old Navy veteran, was until recently the bureau chief for a right-wing website based in Canada called The Rebel. Its founder, Ezra Levant, said Mr. Posobiec was no longer employed there.


“We wish him well,” Mr. Levant said, offering only that Mr. Posobiec’s promulgation of the Rich conspiracy had nothing to do with his departure.


Despite being out of his day job, Mr. Posobiec has not stopped broadcasting or tweeting. He took to Periscope after Mr. Comey’s testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday, repeated his false claim from before and leveled a new specious charge: that the former F.B.I. director had acknowledged leaking classified information from his government laptop to the news media. “Comey admitted to breaking the law multiple times,” he said.



Shortly after the hearing concluded on Thursday, the video had been viewed nearly 30,000 times.
