										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fox News Channel&#8217;s Bret Baier had a polite, yet contentious conversation with Donald Trump, among other things, over the 2020 election result.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Trump-Baier.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-25802" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Trump-Baier-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Trump-Baier-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Trump-Baier-800x449.jpg 800w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Trump-Baier-768x431.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Trump-Baier.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a><span style="color: #333399;">Former President Trump and Fox News anchor Bret Baier argued over Trump’s false claims of a rigged election in 2020 during a contentious interview that aired Monday on the network.</span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #333399;">“First of all, I won in 2020 by a lot,” Trump said when Baier asked him how he plans to appeal to independent voters in 2024. “You know that’s not what … ” Baier interjected as Trump talked over him.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #333399;">The former president floated unfounded theories about ballot harvesting and voter fraud, to which Baier pushed back, saying, “Mr. President that’s all been looked into. You lost the 2020 election,” Baier told Trump, noting the numerous recounts and lawsuits that followed Trump’s refusal to admit defeat in the weeks after the election.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333399;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/4057551-trump-foxs-bret-baier-spar-over-his-2020-election-claims/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hill, 6/19/23</a></p>
<p>The Founding Fathers gave the media protection in the First Amendment of the Constitution with the caveat that they keep the public informed. It didn&#8217;t have to be said that the information presented be accurate. Maybe it should&#8217;ve been. Especially over the last decade, the media has made numerous declarations and a good portion of the populace believed them. As usual, when those declarations turned out to be untrue, corrections are buried if issued at all. Apologies? Zip, zero, nada.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/CNN-Sraff.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-5863 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/CNN-Sraff-150x113.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="113" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/CNN-Sraff-150x113.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/CNN-Sraff-500x375.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/CNN-Sraff-80x60.jpg 80w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/CNN-Sraff.jpg 634w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a><span style="color: #333399;">Does</span></span><span style="color: #333399;"> </span><a href="https://nypost.com/2021/12/10/chris-cuomo-allegedly-blasted-janice-dean-as-that-fox-weather-bitch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN ever apologize</a> <span style="color: #333399;">for getting it wrong — putting out false or deliberately misleading information — again and again and again and again and again?</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #333399;">No, CNN simply pretends all of this failure derives from good-faith errors rather than wishcasting and flamboyantly</span> <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/11/30/chris-cuomo-forfeited-his-trust-with-viewers-cnn-needs-to-fire-him/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">obvious partisan hackery<span style="color: #333399;">,</span></a><span style="color: #333399;"> then dials the whataboutism up to 11.</span><br />

<p>The lack of contrition is expected because some of the overpaid in the media risk loss of their income should the public not trust them. Brian Williams seems to be one of the exceptions of a busted liar who continues to get high paying gigs while a laughing stock. But the media gets it wrong so often, it takes a certain amount of chutzpah to insist the public accept them at their word, for example, when it comes to the 2020 election as the &#8220;<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/2020-election-most-secure-history-dhs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most secure in history</a>&#8220;.</p>
<p>In fact, the media is wrong so often, there are posts dedicated to not letting the arrogant off the hook so easily.</p>

The research team expected the Russian effort to be a major source of disinformation, and it was. But they discovered that traditional media were a larger contributor.</span><br />

<p>You may find ironic and humorous when some of the gross offenders offer sanctimonious introspection only after all harm was done.</p>
<p>And probably the biggest middle finger-mocking of the media and Joe Biden they are protecting, resulted in the slogan-turned-hashtag, found on social media sites and auto bumpers to this day&#8230;.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #333399;">NBC NASCAR reporter Kelli Stavast is either hard of hearing, or a very, very quick thinker.</span><br />

<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">&#8230;</span></p>
<p>It&#8217;s best not to believe any media story nowadays. They&#8217;ve clearly earned the mistrust.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Gaetz-The-View.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-10991 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Gaetz-The-View-150x85.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="85" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Gaetz-The-View-150x85.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Gaetz-The-View-500x282.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Gaetz-The-View.jpg 762w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Sadly, they also depend on their consumers being too lazy to do the due diligence and investigate further on their own, which unfortunately explains how easy it is to continue to include &#8220;The View&#8221; under the ABC News banner.</p>
<p>But when the media insists you believe masks work and vaccines are safe, climate catastrophes a century from now can be prevented today, elections where Democrats win should always be accepted, and especially when they insist you believe them because they say so, have one word at the ready&#8230;</p>
<p>Why?</p>

<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Cuomo-conspiracy-theories.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-23459 size-medium" title="CNN's Chris Cuomo" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Cuomo-conspiracy-theories-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Cuomo-conspiracy-theories-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Cuomo-conspiracy-theories-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Cuomo-conspiracy-theories.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>It&#8217;s almost at the point when the media demands we must accept what they tell us as truth, the polar opposite should rightfully be prioritized. Not just because those proclamations erroneously influenced popular opinion (including federal elections), but because those who are overpaid to distribute &#8220;news&#8221; can&#8217;t justify their pay if they have to admit to their employers and millions of people they were very wrong.</p>
<p>So they won&#8217;t.</p>
<p>Here are some blatant examples of important stories they got wrong and have yet to formally apologize to the public and the aggrieved&#8230;.</p>

<p>Almost every news outlet provided near 24-7 coverage of &#8220;Trump collusion with Russia to steal the 2016 election&#8221; for close to five years.</p>

<p>Confirmation to all those &#8220;conspiracy theorists&#8221; who insisted the whole Steele dossier was a Clinton campaign-DNC hit job was essentially a one day story and no apologies should be expected.</p>
<p>Media-imposed censorship took a precedent-setting turn during the 2020 election.</p>

<p>There are numerous stories that the media insisted we blow off as &#8220;conspiracy theories&#8221; that have turned out to be true, and controversies arise that make no sense until common sense is deployed.</p>
<p>Add it all up and you&#8217;ll understand why CNN+ crashed and burned so quickly. Fewer accept what the media tells us as worthy of their time, let alone having their intelligence constantly insulted.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/State-of-the-Media.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-23458 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/State-of-the-Media-150x87.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="87" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/State-of-the-Media-150x87.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/State-of-the-Media.jpg 700w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a><span style="color: #808080;">Cision’s annual State of the Media report, which looks at the key challenges journalists face today, is drawn from responses from over 3,800 journalists across 17 global markets. The number one challenge journalists cited? Maintaining credibility.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">According to the report, 32% of those surveyed said that they struggle to combat accusations of fake news and remain a trusted news source; and 57% feel that the public has lost trust in the media over the past year.</span><br />

<p>So when the media insists you believe there was no &#8220;widespread vote fraud&#8221; during the 2020 election, don&#8217;t expect any mea culpas as this script flips.</p>

<p>The media will blatantly lie to your face because for some reason, once someone is granted employment in the entertainment industry, he or she is now about 60 I.Q. points higher than the American population average. These people have unbridled disdain for their viewers and if you have any doubts, look at the dumbed-down nature of their broadcast programming. If they consider you a moron in their primetime divisions, the newsrooms really think you&#8217;re stupid, thus their insistence you take their word for it.</p>

<span style="color: #808080;">“If Biden got in, you&#8217;d be paying $7, $8, $9,” Trump said the day before Election Day at a rally in Grand Rapids, Mich. “Then they&#8217;d say, ‘Get rid of your car.’”</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/11/12/energy-202-conservatives-predict-gas-prices-will-spike-under-biden-experts-say-those-fears-are-overblown/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Post, 11/12/20</a></p>
<p>So, make it easy. Whatever the media declares fact you must accept and believe, think the opposite and you&#8217;ll sleep easier.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The NYT/CNN/NBC axis flooded the zone every time Robert Mueller scratched his nose. They spent hours and hours deciphering his every sneeze. Actual criminal indictments from Durham of Hillary’s lawyer or FBI operatives — crimes that created Russiagate — barely merit an article.</span><br />

<p>There are many consistencies when it comes to how this whole Durham investigation is playing out. One being that whenever there&#8217;s bad news for a Republican, there&#8217;s always someone who&#8217;ll leak that damaging info to an eager liberal media to disseminate. But when there&#8217;s bad news about a Democrat, nothing is leaked and if it is, it&#8217;s downplayed by the press. Aside from court filings that are public record, there&#8217;s been enough radio silence that the media&#8217;s been able to portray Durham as much ado about nuthin&#8217;&#8230; until now.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Lesley-Stahl.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-15521 size-medium" title="Leslie Stahl, 60 Minutes interview with President Trump" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Lesley-Stahl-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Lesley-Stahl-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Lesley-Stahl.jpg 700w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>This is also where the media has itself stuck in the proverbial box where they have to either admit they were played by Hillary Clinton, her campaign and the DNC, or they knew Donald Trump never colluded with the Russians during his 2016 campaign and throughout his term as president. The latter is probably closer to the truth and the world saw how they were all in for the pro-Hillary/Democrat narrative.</p>

The media really can&#8217;t admit they were suckers for Hillary&#8217;s disinformation as that would place an even bigger storm cloud over their already pitiful reputation for impartiality and honesty, but alas, that appears to be the only plea they can cop. As they gaslight the world claiming to be fair and impartial, their only remaining option is to admit to being overpaid, and in some cases, multi-millionaire suckers.</p>

They&#8217;ll claim, despite no evidence ever being found, there was no reason to believe that Hillary Clinton, her campaign, the Obama administration, the FBI, CIA, and federal employees would EVER make up such an elaborate scheme to win a presidential election and once lost, sabotage a presidential administration. They&#8217;ll claim, despite no evidence ever being found, their instincts pointed to a direction that we all now know to be incorrect and as they are human, should be willing to look past this minor blip in judgment.</p>
<p>Why will the media seek such forgiveness? Because it&#8217;s not over.</p>

It stands to reason that players currently under investigation may have passed on slanderous information to members of the media for rapid circulation; information known to be false yet published anyway. It&#8217;s not a crime for a First Amendment-protected journalist to distribute lies, but it sure can put a dent in a resume and public reputation to his or her employer. The chances are pretty small that so many supposedly smart people could have gotten it all so wrong, thus it stands to reason too many were happily all-in on pushing false stories on the Donald Trump they collectively hated. They had no problem amplifying falsehoods that resulted in many people having to lawyer-up and some even seeing the inside of a jail cell.</p>

They will soon try and demand we forgive them because they&#8217;re all we have when it comes to getting news we can trust.</p>

<p>They know what the newly-released transcripts of Obama-era officials reveal about the lies they said on numerous cable television programs and in print. The media knows everything we know about the misdeeds of federal law enforcement and intelligence employees bent on stopping candidate Trump from getting elected, sabotaging his Transition Team&#8217;s effort and derailing his Administration with investigations built from faulty documents and strong-arming those they were investigating.</p>

At some point then-President Barack Obama had to have not only known, by okay&#8217;d all of the nefarious activities now coming to light.</p>
<p>When asking if Obama can be held legally accountable for actions committed during his presidency, the answer is usually &#8220;no&#8221;, but let&#8217;s also not forget that that goalpost has been moved against President Trump for most of his presidency.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The Justice Department’s policy that a sitting president cannot be indicted rests on the assertion that prosecuting a president would so impair his ability to perform the duties of his office that it would amount to an unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Even if there are reasons to question the legitimacy of DOJ’s policy, it is unlikely to change anytime soon. Instead, it’s more important to focus on the policy’s most significant limitation and when it is lifted: whatever protection from prosecution a sitting president enjoys comes to an end when he or she leaves office.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.justsecurity.org/65772/yes-trump-could-be-indicted-if-he-leaves-office-in-2021-but-is-that-likely/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Just Security, 8/13/19</a></p>
<p>If the left is just waiting to pounce and arrest a future Former President Trump for everything surrounding Russian interference in the 2016 election we know didn&#8217;t happen but you can never underestimate the resolve of those who&#8217;ll never admit they bought bullshit because they really wanted it to be true.</p>

There are no private citizens who could have been engaged in similar conduct against a sitting United States president and expect to see the outside of a prison cell for the remainder of his or her lifetime. This is the really all those involve are potentially facing and when the heat starts getting applied, some will be more than willing to rat someone out for leniency, if not immunity.</p>
<p>And when some of those rats start point at Obama, there&#8217;s going to be only one possible strategy left to be played; one that&#8217;s worked so well for so long: the race card. They&#8217;ll say President Trump is a racist and the very people saying it will be know liars.</p>

<p>We&#8217;re well past kitchen sink when it comes to what&#8217;s left for liberals to throw at Donald Trump but the stakes have been raised.</p>

<p>The 2020 Election is looming, Democrats have a cringe-worthy candidate and the president who they said was the &#8220;smartest ever&#8221; may have been proven wrong because he thought he could wreck candidate Trump and depended on a President Hillary to hide the bodies. Not so smart after all and the only excuse Democrats will have is that we&#8217;ll find out the truth behind his dirty deeds ONLY because Barack Obama is half black.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We were told <em>(literally)</em> for YEARS that there was all this &#8220;evidence&#8221; that Donald Trump, his campaign, Transition Team and later his Administration &#8220;colluded&#8221; with the Russians to help him defeat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.</p>

<p>It turns out, NONE of what Schiff, Democrats and their parrot media was true regarding &#8220;Russian collusion&#8221;, at least when it comes to who was actually doing the colluding.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Adam-Schiff.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-12851 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Adam-Schiff-150x87.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="87" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Adam-Schiff-150x87.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Adam-Schiff-500x291.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Adam-Schiff.jpg 700w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Current Intel Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) has apparently been</span> <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/05/05/house-republicans-accuse-schiff-of-blocking-russia-probe-transcripts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">pushing to prevent the release</a> <span style="color: #808080;">— perhaps because he for years has claimed he saw “direct evidence” of Trump-Russia collusion that neither the FBI nor even Mueller’s endless probe ever found. <strong>It seems that none of the 53 witnesses interviewed by the committee — including Obama officials Jim Clapper, Loretta Lynch, Sam Power, Susan Rice, Sally Yates and Andrew McCabe — said they’d seen any evidence of collusion.</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Indeed, it looks like the only “evidence” the FBI ever had was the hearsay claims <em>(which various Russians were paid to make)</em> in the opposition-research dossier that Hillary Clinton’s campaign commissioned — a fact that the FBI and Justice Department concealed from the courts even as it was the only basis for their wiretap requests.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/05/07/michael-flynn-case-collapse-latest-sign-russiagate-was-a-complete-fraud/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">New York Post, 5/7/20</a></p>
<p>As U.S. Attorney John Durham wraps up his investigation, hopefully we&#8217;ll find out who ALL the players were in this coup d&#8217;etat that was nearly pulled off and holds them responsible for all of the collateral damage done.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Limbaugh.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-12871 size-medium" title="Rush Limbaugh" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Limbaugh-103x150.jpg" alt="" width="103" height="150" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Limbaugh-103x150.jpg 103w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Limbaugh.jpg 385w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 103px) 100vw, 103px" /></a>Folks, we lost the House of Representatives because of this. We lost two years, 2-1/2 years of an agenda being implemented. Who knows what other damage resulted to this country because of this, and half of the country — statistically half of the country — was believing every word of this. We had news organizations winning Pulitzer Prizes for their reporting on this.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Remember, they spent years reporting this four and five times a day every day, seven days a week for two years. New York Times, Washington Post, Times, CNN, MSNBC. And the whole time they knew it was all a lie. They knew there was nothing to it. It was entirely made up, and the plot hatched in the Obama Oval Office.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2020/05/08/vindication-day-on-the-russia-hoax-and-coup-against-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Rush Limbaugh, 5/8/20</a></p>
<p>Adam Schiff should be removed from office, if not in handcuffs and people need to go jail so this never happens to another American ever again.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anyone whose served in an intelligence capacity in the military was warned about doing anything that may make you susceptible of blackmail. You can be made to do things that could be harmful to your country, like steal documents, etc. Republican Senator Richard Burr may have found himself in one of those compromising positions and it looks like he may have sold out President Trump so save his own ass.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Burr.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-12398 size-medium" title="Senator Richard Burr" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Burr-150x100.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="100" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Burr-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Burr-500x334.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Burr-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Burr-600x400.jpg 600w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Burr.jpg 700w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Sen. Richard Burr&#8217;s sale of up to $1.7 million in stocks shortly before the recent market crash was one of the lawmaker&#8217;s only market-beating trades since record keeping began eight years ago, according to a new study. On a single day, Feb. 13 of this year, Burr unloaded a significant portion of his net worth — a departure from his typically low-volume trading history</span><span style="color: #808080;">.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.npr.org/2020/04/16/836126532/senator-burrs-pre-pandemic-stock-sell-offs-highly-unusual-analysis-shows" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NPR, 4/16/20</a></p>
<p>Normally when a Republican screws up, Democrats and their media collectively demand a resignation. However, this didn&#8217;t happen to Senator Burr with the normal desire for a public head on a platter. While Burr wasn&#8217;t <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2015/10/16/blowing-off-the-stock-act-how-the-dc-elected-get-rich/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the only one</a>, he and others could have been ripe for political blackmail and that just may be what&#8217;s happened&#8230;.</p>

A new Senate report undercuts claims by President Trump and his allies that Obama-era officials sought to undermine his candidacy by investigating Russia’s 2016 election meddling.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">More recently, Mr. Burr, who slowly pushed his bipartisan investigation forward despite calls from Mr. Trump to disband it, has come under</span> <a class="css-1g7m0tk" title="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/20/us/politics/coronavirus-richard-burr-insider-trading.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">intense scrutiny for a decision to liquidate much of his stock portfolio</a> <span style="color: #808080;">in February, before the coronavirus pandemic ravaged the financial markets.</span><br />

<p>Self-proclaimed intellectually superior liberal Democrats HATE to be proven wrong, especially by Republicans, thus they never let the Mueller Report pseudo-exoneration go. They also love any opportunity to label something as &#8220;bipartisan&#8221; when damaging to Republicans and/or beneficial to Democrats. And now that the United States may finally be turning the Coronavirus corner and the economy may actually rebound prior to the 2020 Election, it&#8217;s time to bring back Russia, Russia, Russia.</p>

Did they continue the investigation under the guise of counterintelligence after Trump was elected, in the hope of finding a crime over which he could be impeached? Did they consciously mislead an American president about whether he was under investigation? Did they purposefully suggest in public testimony that the president was a criminal suspect, while privately assuring him that he was not one? <strong>And finally, when the Trump-Russia collusion nonsense was collapsing in a heap, did they open a criminal obstruction case — based on an untenable legal theory and facilitated by a leak of investigative information that was orchestrated by the just-fired FBI director — in order to justify continuing the probe under the auspices of a special counsel?</strong></span><br />

<p class="css-exrw3m evys1bk0" style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span style="color: #808080;">But the Senate report, from a committee led by Republicans, could shore up the intelligence agencies’ conclusions.</span></strong></p>

<p>Subsequent &#8220;investigations&#8221; by the Democrat-led House of Representatives put an emphasis on &#8220;transparency&#8221; and demanded EVERYTHING in the Mueller report, including the 2% redacted court-protected grand jury testimony, be made public.</p>

<p>Many of whom were engaged, in what essentially was a coup d&#8217;etat, now know what it feels like to have federal law enforcement breathing down their necks, the potential cost of having to hire high-priced lawyers just to keep them free on bond, and have their lives and reputations turned upside down and damaged beyond repair.</p>
<p>The only difference is that those they pursued with the full weight of the federal government behind them were either innocent or entrapped. Those pro-Hillary #DeepState career federal law enforcement employees abused their power, assumed Hillary Clinton would win and none of their activities would ever be revealed, and now THEY are facing the very possible prison fate they cavalierly imposed on others.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The cloud under which the president and his associates have lived for more than two years deserves to be lifted. The officials who launched this aborted investigation should be held accountable for their actions.</span><br />

<p>Meanwhile, far left activist/professor Noam Chomsky held a <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/noam-chomsky-amy-goodman-movie-premiere-live-presentations-tickets-58397531589" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">screening of his unrelated documentary</a> in Boston, a week before the redacted Mueller report was released to the public and he sounded the warning sign as well to what must have been an audience clearly caught off guard.</p>

<p>It will be interesting to see how many other liberals and/or Democrats try and talk some common sense into those who don&#8217;t appear to display any or walk away from an exercise in futility and watch the house burn from a safe distance.</p>

Mueller’s key finding: <strong>“The Special Counsel’s investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 US presidential election.”</strong><em> (On the other hand, those of us repeatedly slurred as Trump and/or Putin “apologists” might feel some vindication.)</em></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>But what about the legions of high-ranking intelligence officials, politicians, editorial writers, television producers, and other opinion-makers, and their eager media outlets that perpetuated, inflated, and prolonged this unprecedented political scandal in American history—those who did not stop short of accusing the president of the United States of being a Kremlin “agent,” “asset,” “puppet,” “Manchurian candidate,” and who characterized his conduct and policies as “treasonous”?</strong> Will they now apologize, as decency requires, or, more importantly, explain their motives so that we might understand and avoid another such national trauma?</span></p>

<p>Professor Cohen went into more depth on The John Batchelor Show and you could hear his pained, near revulsion of the #RussiaGate scandal and where the ruthless activities of government actors, the Democrat Party in collusion with a blindly compliant media has left President Trump and the American people going forward.</p>
