Democrats Desperately Recycle the FAKE Russian Collusion Narrative YET AGAIN
It is clear the left is latching onto this to distract from the fact that Vladimir Putin just this week endorsed Kamala Harris for President.
One thing is absolutely clear about the Democrat/fake news media cabal: it doesn’t matter how debunked, discredited, and disproven any of their false narratives are—they will simply continue to recycle the same disinformation as if it has never been publicly refuted.
This latest wave of Russia, Russia, Russia nonsense follows an indictment alleging Russians were funding a right-leaning news outlet, despite the indictment showing that the influencers at hand were actually victims who were lied to about where funding came from — and there is zero evidence those influencers were given any talking points from anyone connected to Russia.
It is clear the left is latching onto that to distract from the fact that Vladimir Putin just this week endorsed Kamala Harris for President.
The entire Russian Collusion Hoax, the insistence that the Russians interfered in the 2016 election to assist Donald Trump is a perfect example of this technique. I have rebutted every attack on me by the Democrats and their allies in the media, but it is their practice to ignore the facts while recycling the same old defamation.
President Donald Trump survived an illegitimate investigation into his campaign based on fabricated evidence of “Russian collusion,” as well as two completely fabricated impeachment attempts—all fostered by his refusal to plunge America deeper into the endless foreign wars that had been so profitable for the deep state war machine.
The willful targeting of Donald Trump and his campaign – in which the full authority of the U.S. Government and the incredible capabilities of both U.S. and foreign intelligence, utilizing what the FBI and CIA both knew was fabricated evidence contained in the Steele Dossier to justify FISA warrants to spy on officials in Trump’s campaign, as well as surveilling Trump himself – is the greatest single abuse of power in American history. We now know that even prior to using the Steele Dossier to justify the issuing of FISA warrants, that CIA Director John Brennan asked multiple foreign intelligence services to surveill and “bump,” which essentially means entrap, 26 associates of Donald Trump without any probable cause of any illegal activity.
In 2019, I was falsely charged by Special Counsel Robert Mueller with lying under oath in my voluntary testimony to the House Intelligence Committee. While I concede that I did make misstatements, none of these were either material nor did they conceal any underlying crime. In fact, government prosecutors never provided any actual evidence that I had either colluded with Russian intelligence or collaborated with WikiLeaks in their release of documents from the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign (which U.S. intelligence agencies falsely claimed were obtained through an online hack of the DNC’s computer servers).
In fact, the FBI admitted in discovery before my trial that they had never inspected the computer servers of the DNC and had relied entirely on a third-party, a left-leaning IT company called Crowdstrike, whose report alleged that the DNC had been the target of an online hack by the Russians. What we did not know during my trial is that Crowdstrike President Shawn Henry (who just happens to be a former Assistant to FBI Director Robert Mueller) actually testified under oath to the House Intelligence Committee and admitted that his company’s report had no actual proof of this alleged online “Russian hack.” After the FBI’s embarrassing admission in my trial, DOJ prosecutors insisted, without proof, that they had additional evidence that would prove that the DNC had been hacked by the Russians but they never provided any because, in fact, there is none.
Mueller’s prosecutors insisted that I be tried before Judge Amy Berman Jackson because they said my case was “related” to the so-called Russian hacking case which never even reached the discovery phase, and promised the judge that they would produce evidence against me at my trial collected from the warrants in that case. Again, they never provided any such evidence because none exists.
The real reason I was charged with these wholly fabricated crimes was to pressure me into offering false testimony against President Donald Trump. Mueller’s prosecutors wanted me to testify, falsely, that I had discussed and even predicted the WikiLeaks disclosures in multiple phone conversations with candidate Trump in 2016. I refused to lie in this regard and thus was subjected to a Soviet-style show trial in Washington D.C., in which my constitutional rights were violated and in which I was not allowed to put forward forensic evidence or expert testimony that would prove that the underlying premise of my indictment, that “the Russians had hacked the DNC,” was false.
Equally innocuous was my one and only Twitter Direct Message exchange with a flack for WikiLeaks, which is also innocuous in its content in that it, once again, provided no evidence of cooperation, collusion, or collaboration. Assange himself said, in multiple interviews, that WikiLeaks had never provided me with any material whatsoever from their sources. Once again, the fake news media and their allies in the Justice Department made much of communications that are both limited and benign on their face.
Both Mueller and the bloodthirsty fake news media made much of an innocuous Twitter Direct Message exchange between me and the online persona of “Guccifer 2.0.” The Department of Justice and the CIA insisted that Guccifer 2.0 was a “Russian hacker” responsible for the hack of the DNC, but all failed to note that my limited exchange with this alleged hacker through Twitter Direct Message only took place three months after WikiLeaks had already published the DNC and Clinton campaign material, and that the actual full text of our exchange was completely innocuous—providing no evidence whatsoever of either collusion or collaboration.
Mueller also concluded in his long-hidden report that he could find no evidence of the claim by right-wing gadfly Jerry Corsi that I had contacted Corsi in the wake of the shocking NBC disclosure that Donald Trump had joked about grabbing women by their genitalia and urged him to contact WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange to urge Assange to expedite the release of the damaging material WikiLeaks had obtained regarding Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee. Assange had alluded to in his public comments to this information for months. It was not a secret. In fact, in his long-redacted final report, Special Counsel Robert Mueller admitted that he could find no evidence to prove Corsi’s false claim. Once again, this false narrative is repeatedly recycled despite its falsity.
The other “source” that is constantly pointed to as providing evidence of Russian collusion with the Trump campaign, as well as misdeeds on my part, is the “bipartisan” U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee Report pieced together by Senate Democrats with a band of Trump-hating establishment Republicans. I can report that every single reference to me in the report is factually incorrect and most of the allegations against me were simply cut and pasted from various fake news media reports. I shredded the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee Report.
My family and I were subjected to the most vicious, partisan witch-hunt in U.S. history, in which we were virtually bankrupted and in which I faced a prison sentence of seven to nine years while having done absolutely nothing wrong—simply because I refused the government pressure to testify falsely against President Trump.
It is only because of my faith in Jesus Christ that I have survived this ordeal. President Donald Trump recognized both the falsity of the charges against me and the entirely political motivation in my prosecution, commuting my prison sentence a mere forty-eight hours before I was to be remanded to a dank federal prison in Georgia, and subsequently issuing me a full and unconditional presidential pardon.
We also now know, definitively, based on the long-delayed report by Special Counsel John Durham, that there was no collusion between Russian intelligence and the Trump campaign. Democrats and many in the mainstream media repeatedly falsely insist that Trump Campaign Manager Paul Manafort shared proprietary polling information from the Trump campaign with a man named Konstantin Kilimnik. The problem with this assertion is that it is false.
In fact, despite their heavily taxpayer-funded and media-fueled investigation, the only alleged evidence that both House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff and de facto Special Counsel Andrew Weissmann constantly cite is this false allegation about Kilimnik.
There are actually two fundamental problems with this phony narrative. First is the substantial evidence that not only is Kilimnik not a Russian intelligence asset, but evidence shows that he was working extensively with US Intelligence. Kilimnik actually worked for US Senator John McCain prior to the 2016 Presidential Campaign.
Paul Manafort himself addressed this in his book, “Political Prisoner: Persecuted, Prosecuted, but Not Silenced” when he said, “…my associate Konstantin Kilimnik…. was not only not a Russian agent, but he was a US asset. He was so important to the US embassy in Kiev that he had a code name to protect him in cable traffic between Ukraine and Washington.” Manafort went on to say that “The same anonymous US government sources who pushed this false narrative had access to the State Department files that identified him as a valued asset. They knew he was not a spy.”
Independent journalist
reported, “The FBI’s own declassified reports show Kilimnik met with the head of the Kiev embassy’s political section “at least biweekly” during his time working with Manafort and Yanukovitch, adding that he “displayed good knowledge and seemed to know what was going on,” and came across as “less slanted” than other sources, among many other things. This fits with what I was told by multiple former colleagues of Kilimnik’s, that staffers in the Kiev embassy valued his analyses above those of some Americans in Yanukovitch’s orbit. Taibbi also noted that Kilimnik was so valued as a source by the State Department that his name was redacted from classified cables to and from the U.S. embassy in Kiev.
The other major problem with this false claim of Russian collusion with the Trump campaign and that Manafort passed highly secret polling to this alleged Russian agent is the fact that Manafort had no poll numbers that were proprietary to the Trump campaign at the time both Democrats and Federal prosecutors claimed he had shared the data with Kilimnik.
Again Manafort wrote, “The major misrepresentation by Weissman related to the “secret internal” polling data that I supposedly gave to Kilimnik. The fact that the campaign polling that I supposedly gave Kilimnik at the August 2 meeting was not even completed until August 8 was ignored. Also, ignored, was (Manfort Deputy Rick) Gates’s testimony in his proffers to the FBI that the information that he gave to Kilimnik was publicly available information.
The significance is that the campaign had no non-public polling data on August 2. Republican Pollster Tony Fabrizio, who was working for Trump had gone into the field in the battleground states on Aug 1 with the preliminary results not becoming available to me or Gates until Aug 8 and later.” There was no Russian Collusion with the Trump campaign. No passing of poll numbers by Manafort nor in the release of the Wikileaks disclosures regarding Hillary and her campaign nor in the Trump Tower meeting with Donald Trump, Jr. and others who met with a Russian Woman lawyer who was briefed before and after her meeting by her handlers at Fusion-GPS, the creators of the fabricated Steele Dossier.
Those seeking to recycle the fake “Russian collusion” narrative also point to a meeting which took place at Trump Tower in New York City on June 9, 2016, between three senior members of the 2016 Trump campaign – Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort – four other U.S. citizens, and Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya. The meeting was arranged by publicist and long-time Trump acquaintance Rob Goldstone on behalf of his client, Russian singer-songwriter Emin Agalarov. The meeting was first disclosed to U.S. government officials in April 2017, when Kushner filed a revised version of his security clearance form.
Left out of this narrative is the fact that Veselnitskaya was recruited by Fusion GPS—the same Democrat-connected research operation that first identified and pushed the now entirely debunked Steele Dossier, which falsely claimed that Donald Trump had consorted with Russian prostitutes while visiting Moscow as a private citizen. In fact, Veselnitskaya met with Glenn Simpson from Fusion GPS both before and after the aforementioned Trump Tower meeting. Also notable is the fact that Veselnitskaya provided no information of any value to the Trump team.
With the latest polls showing a resurgent Donald Trump climbing in the polls following a short “honeymoon period” for Kamala Harris, there’s increasing hysteria and apoplexy among Democrats and their handmaidens in the legacy media. That is why they are recycling the entire false narrative of “Russian collusion” with the Trump campaign in 2016 yet again.
Why is DeSantis so quiet in the time of chaos
Here we go again. 🙄
