    There is a left website called The Wall Street Journal. A few days ago they reported something about Trump, Flynn, and a GOP operative named Peter W. Smith. You must have missed this while you were hiding in a Trump Witness Protection Program.

    So Friday, some new news came out... involving a guy named Matt Tait...

    A named source!

    Must be a pedophile or a mass murdered, no doubt.

    Fascinating story from Maddow tonight.

    Someone or some people are shopping forged NSA documents to news outlets that directly implicate Trump officials by name (something NSA docs can't do) as colluding with the Russians.

    Seems the purpose of this forgery is pretty obvious. Plant a bombs that are incorrect in order to discredit news networks like MSNBC and CNN.

    Most likely. Could be anyone anti-non right wing media or pro Trump. All I know is you look at the three CNN staffers already fired for running a story that turned out to be false and it's obvioius what is going on here. It's also surprising that no network too the bait on this story.

    If the whole Trump campaign-Russia story is just a ploy by the Democrats then it is one hell of a well-executed ploy. They've managed to get the FBI to investigate it, tricked Trump into trying to stop the FBI from investigating it, resulting in him likely being under investigation for obstruction of justice, and gotten Trump's own Justice Department to appoint a special counsel to investigate it. All because they are mad about losing an election. If only the Democrats could run their campaigns as well as they execute their witch hunts.

    Here's the breakdown in the connections so far:

    1. Don't release tax returns.
    2. ???
    3. Trump is a Russian spy.

    1. Beat Hillary Clinton in presidential election.
    2. ???
    3. Trump is a Russian spy.

    1. Tweet something critical of CNN.
    2. ???
    3. Trump is a Russian spy.

    Has everyone forgotten that the Democrats paid a FOREIGN spy to create a fake, slanderous dossier on Trump for the sole purpose of casting doubt onto Trump's motivations, and circulated that dossier among the political elite and intelligence community?

    Apparently many have.

    So they even paid a credible foreign spy to create a dossier that drew the attention of the FBI? Like I said, just damn well-executed witch hunting by the Democrats. Trump should pay attention, his birther witch hunt didn't even make it to the level of an FBI investigation. Sad!
