Russia

In our initial take on the Washington Post's story about the "secret" CIA assessment that Russia helped Trump win the election (since contested by the FBI), we said that this may amount to nothing short of a "soft coup" attempt by leaders in the US Intel community and the Obama administration, and warned to expect of a push by prominent democrats to pressure the electoral college to "take into consideration" these findings next Monday, on December 19, when the formal vote for president is set to take place.

This is how we summarized the newly-formed narrative:

Top Experts Dismiss Reported Claim That Russia Influenced the US Election

Presstitutes such as the New York Times and Reuters continue to hype an alleged CIA finding that Russians hacked Hillary’s emails and used them to influence the election outcome. As a number of experts have noted, there is no evidence whatsoever for the claim, which is in the category of fake news.

Julian Assange at Wikileaks, which released the leaked, not hacked, documents, denies that the Russians were involved.

I have watched incredulous as the CIA’s blatant lie has grown and grown as a media story – blatant because the CIA has made no attempt whatsoever to substantiate it. There is no Russian involvement in the leaks of emails showing Clinton’s corruption. Yes this rubbish has been the lead today in the Washington Post in the US and the Guardian here, and was the lead item on the BBC main news. I suspect it is leading the American broadcasts also.

Saturday on "Justice", Judge Jeanine Pirro responded to President Obama's order that US intelligence agencies investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election, and submit the results of their studies to him before he leaves office in January.

"Seriously? Why Now?" Pirro said, " You have been watching the release of information from WikiLeaks for months. You have watched teh release of Hillary Clintons emails [and ] John Podesta's emails, and the disturbing information contained therein."

 

As Democrats continue to spin the fake news narrative, because it's simply impossible that Hillary (the candidate who lost both Wisconsin and Michigan to a Socialist in the Democratic primary) lost fair and square, Former US Ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, penned an op-ed in the Washington Post yesterday that suggested registering RT and Sputnik as “foreign agents,” claiming that they "campaigned openly for one candidate, Donald Trump."
