Geee Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 The Hill The Washington press corps seems engaged in a collective demonstration of the legal concept of willful blindness, or deliberately ignoring facts, following the release of yet another declassified document that directly refutes past statements about the Russia collusion investigation. The document shows the FBI used a security briefing of then candidate Donald Trump and top aides to gather possible evidence for Crossfire Hurricane, its code name for the Russia investigation. What is astonishing is that the media has refused to see what should be one of the biggest stories in decades. The Obama administration targeted the campaign of the opposing party based on false evidence. The media endlessly covered former Obama administration officials ridiculing suggestions of spying on the Trump campaign or of improper conduct in the Russia investigation. When Attorney General William Barr told the Senate last year that he believed spying did occur, he was lambasted in the media, including by James Comey and others involved in that investigation. The mocking “wow” response of the fired FBI director received extensive coverage. The new document shows that, in the summer of 2016, FBI agent Joe Pientka briefed Trump campaign advisers Michael Flynn and Chris Christie on national security issues, a standard practice ahead of the election. It included a discussion of Russia interfering in the election. But this was different. The document detailing the questions asked by Trump and his aides and their reactions was filed a few days after the meeting under Crossfire Hurricane and Crossfire Razor, the FBI investigation of Flynn. The two FBI officials listed who approved the report are Kevin Clinesmith and Peter Strzok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 AH The Vox Populi! jdham • a day ago Turley has turned into a full tie brown noser. WinsomeSmith • 2 minutes ago Trump's a Russian traitor though. If he wasn't been spied on by the US Intelligence Agencies, he should have been. Personally I think it's a failure of Obama's that he didn't crack down more on Russia and Trump but instead rolled over for McConnell's spineless turtillian a55!
