One of the biggest scandals of the Trump administration has been retracted by the New York Times, and was likely disinformation disseminated by members of the US intelligence community.
We’re not completely clear on what happened here, because the international socialists have been reporting this for a while. Can the marxists not align their talking points?
Maybe not, they can certainly pile them up and propagate them.
What Happened
And, we do know some of what happened. Here are some of our favorite highlights:
- The New York Times received a BOMBSHELL leak from the “intelligence community”, which has typically meant the staff of Representative Schiff, and printed it as an anonymous tip on June 26, 2020.
- Media outlet after outlet “independently confirmed” the leak, and backed up the story for the Biden campaign.
- In July, the Office of the Director National of Intelligence (ODNI) released a memo debunking the claim, describing the intelligence in question as dubious and unverified.
- Shortly after, the intel communities disinformation outlet of choice published an article on why DNI Ratcliffe was probably just covering for Trump, allowing the Biden campaign and its surrogates to continue propagating a false story.
- The false claims are repeated by Democrat candidates in both Presidential and Vice Presidential campaign debates, as proof that the Trump administration was a treasonous arm of the Kremlin.
Why?
There are many important questions to ask, but two are critical, why and who. Molly nails the why.
Who?
I’d like to highlight a few NYT reporters who participated in this, and used their credentials to push it:
To Be Clear
Though this story was relatively quickly debunked, we do not doubt for a second Russia, China and Iran would all pay bounties for American heads.
