A Phony Outrage Distracts From Media’s Role in Targeting Trump

Epoch Times

The media’s phony outrage regarding the recent disclosures, its self-portrait of the press as victim, is to deflect attention away from its role in abetting a deep state crime spree. They’ve shifted the focus to Trump officials, like Sessions and his successor William Barr, both of whom will likely be called to testify before Congress where they will be poked like political voodoo dolls to get at their former boss. So what if Barack Obama’s DOJ also seized journalists’ data and even spied on reporters? Trump is uniquely evil. Plus, he also had the gall to subpoena the records of congressmen, Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell in particular.

It’s worth recalling that as chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), Schiff subpoenaed and published the phone records of Republican colleagues, staffers, journalists, and Trump’s lawyer Rudolph Giuliani simply because they were trying to find out what shady business practices Joe Biden and his son Hunter were up to in Ukraine. But investigating Schiff and his HPSCI colleague Swalwell was hardly revenge. It appears that HPSCI Democrats regularly leaked to the press, including testimony from the committee’s Russia hearings. For instance, parts of Susan Rice’s September 2017 testimony revealing the identities of Trump officials that she unredacted from the transcript of a classified intercept were leaked to CNN.

In other words, they’re taking revenge. Because Trump officials failed to hold anyone accountable for leaking classified information to prosecute a campaign of political warfare

 

Not like The Democrats. They know exactly who to prosecute...Republicans.
