Those on the Left who see nothing wrong (and everything right) with using ‘payments from Russia’ to justify spying on Republican campaigns may want to reconsider…
The Gateway Pundit…“Deep State FBI Started Spying on Mike Flynn for $45,000 Russian Speech — But NOT on Bill Clinton for $500,000 Russian Speech“
Yeah…no double standard there.
The Clintons and their crime Foundation have received over $150 million from Russia.
So, sure, we’re pumped…let the new ‘OK-to-Spy’ norms begin.
Daily Caller headline…“Circuit Judge Says Ballots Were Illegally Destroyed In Debbie Wasserman Schultz House Race”
Nothing to see here folks…move along.
A political analyst discussing how (or if) John McCain’s position on an issue is relevant in the near- and long-term is hardly cause to manufacture outrage, though media tries.
The senator, reportedly losing his fight against cancer, was on the record as opposing the CIA director nomination of Gina Haspel. As an analyst, Kelly Sadler had to put the issue in perspective, which (evidently) she did…cue media feigned outrage.
Sorry folks, this is just another nothing-burger being used to slime the White House. If you weren’t in the meeting, assigning malign intent isn’t reporting…it’s mind-reading.
Only FakeNews media could pretend to know the comment was used as a joke.
(BTW – Gina Haspel was confirmed today, and will make a great director.)
We invite CNN to analyze our motives in that comment.
Washington Times headline…
“Senate confirms Gina Haspel to lead CIA, first woman to hold post”
Let the ‘new norm’ campaign spy-games begin.
Think of it, folks.
If ‘foreign meddling’ is now (in the Left’s mind) a legitimate justification for mounting a spy effort on an opposition campaign – even when there’s NO evidence or proof that the opposition campaign is ‘colluding’ – then what happens when there was proof?
It was the DEMOCRATS who were caught ‘colluding’ with foreign agents in 2016, using the FusionGPS group to hire a Brit with Russian sources to create their fake dossier.
So, if Left-wing news is OK with flimsy, unproven allegations…then real proof indicates the Democrat Party can legitimately be spied on from now on…to keep them honest.
Works for us.
Mr. President – the New York Times et al have just given you a green light.
Fire up that NSA/FBI/CIA apparatus. Let the games begin.
The Weekly Standard was once a credible source for honest information, but in the last 2 years has transformed into a swampy diatribe of bilious, never-Trump gruel.
We’re sorry to be an audience to such a low end for what was once a beacon of truth.
Their latest editorial regarding the Mueller investigation is a travesty of journalism, with every paragraph containing questionable omissions or dishonest innuendo, in an effort to build their case that the special counsel was legitimate, but needs to wrap things up.
The editors assert Rosenstein was right to appoint a special counsel, but fail to note that legislation mandates a special counsel appointment only WHEN A CRIME EXISTS but no such existence or proof of a crime was established at its inception.
The first paragraph cites his order to “ensure a full and thorough investigation of the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election…” but never notes in the article that ‘full and thorough’ should have included any Democrat effort…
…and never mentions discovery of proven Democrat collusion that Mueller’s ignored.
Only through omissions and innuendo can this article reach the conclusion that special counsel was warranted, and we won’t link to such a deceptive weakly standard…
…that never-Trumpers have sunken to establishing.
Most laughably, its editors bemoan the fact a Republican campaign may have been in any way interested in opposition research during a campaign “…for the purposes of winning an election…” stating “That may not be prosecutable, but it’s not normal.”
Seriously? It’s ‘not normal’ to use opposition research…no matter the source?
We wonder if the Democrats are aware of that new ‘normal’?
(H-E-L-L-O…dossier, anyone?)
The Weekly Standard sets a very weakly standard trying to whitewash Mueller, and as an effort to – once more – tarnish the Trump presidency with a veneer of half-truths.
Pathetic. A hatred so virulent is destroying a once-respected publication.
People – a Democrat administration unlawfully SPIED on an opponent campaign!
As Andy McCarthy notes today “…the (FBI) bureau opened a counterintelligence investigation in the absence of any (a) incriminating evidence, or (b) evidence implicating the Trump campaign in Russian espionage. At the height of the 2016 presidential race, the FBI collaborated with the CIA to probe an American political campaign. They used foreign-intelligence surveillance and informants.”

Hatred can blind – even when it’s the STORY OF THE CENTURY.
Frontpage Mag headliner…
“THOUSANDS OF GAZA HAMAS THUGS ATTACK ISRAEL FOR $100 A DAY”
Rent-a-riot…terrorist-style.
Any guesses where #BlackLivesMatter and Antifa got their mojo-riot style?
Just more proof…that the American Left learns from the deeds of others…
Just follow the money, folks…“Malaysian company at risk of losing close to $300M is lobbying Senate on Massachusetts casino” (underline emphasis added)
And you all thought it was because of her loyalty to those with high cheekbones.
Gaza protesters went berserk at Israel’s borders, and all hell broke loose. Reports are that as many as 60 demonstrators were killed, and of course, the President is blamed because he had the audacity to do what many presidents only promised…
…acknowledge Jerusalem as Israel’s capitol, and open an embassy there.
Predictably, the FakeNews media bemoan the deaths of ‘peaceful’ demonstrators, but…
…Washington Free Beacon headline…“Senior Hamas Official: This Is Not ‘Peaceful Resistance,’ It Is Supported by Our Weapons” (underline emphasis added)
Open message to the Looney Left – WAKE UP!!
American Thinker headline…“Top Iranian adviser threatens to expose those who TOOK BRIBES to make the Iran deal happen” (All caps emphasis added)
Rush Limbaugh spent a good part of last week wondering why the Democrats were so invested in the Iran deal…and why they frantically attacked the President for dumping it.
Being exposed for taking bribes to get the Iran deal passed may explain everything…
You think?
