Hillary Clinton approved dissemination of Trump-Russian

I seriously doubt Hillary would handle it with the grace Martha exhibited. Not to mention Hillary is a whole lot more deserving of prison time than was Ms. Stewart.

Can't argue with either point.
Martha was an example, that maybe shouldn't have been. Hillary? Woman belongs in jail.

In short, the Clinton campaign created the Trump-Alfa allegation, fed it to a credulous press that failed to confirm the allegations but ran with them anyway, then promoted the story as if it was legitimate news. The campaign also delivered the claims to the FBI, giving journalists another excuse to portray the accusations as serious and perhaps true.
Most of the press will ignore this news, but the Russia-Trump narrative that Mrs. Clinton sanctioned did enormous harm to the country. It disgraced the FBI, humiliated the press, and sent the country on a three-year investigation to nowhere. Vladimir Putin never came close to doing as much disinformation damage.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Mean tweets and broken eggs: the story of how the left made a righteous omelete gobbled up by the mediocre masses.

Not only did her Sussmann sell it to the FBI, he tried to sell it to the CIA as well.
Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann denied he was “representing a client” when he gave the CIA faulty data linking Donald Trump to Russia — and appeared “frustrated” that officials weren’t taking the information seriously, two former agency employees testified Friday.
One ex-spy — identified in court only as “Kevin P.” — recalled that he and a colleague met with Sussmann at CIA headquarters in Langley, Va., in February 2017, shortly after Trump took office.
Sussmann gave the men two thumb drives that he said came from unidentified “contacts” and showed a secret, cyber back channel between a Trump Organization server and Russia’s Alfa Bank, Kevin P. said
“He said he was not representing a client,” the witness testified, adding that Sussmann also said he’d previously given “similar but unrelated” information to the FBI.
Oh, and then CIA obligingly changed the report:
Following the meeting at CIA headquarters, Kevin P.’s colleague — identified as “Steve M.” — drafted a memo summarizing what took place and noting that Sussmann had been there on behalf of a client, according to evidence shown to jurors.
But Kevin P. edited the memo to take out the word “client” and replaced it with “contacts,” another exhibit showed.

If a story doesn’t appear in the NYT did it really happen?
Why The Slimes and The Compost should in no way be considered any type of objective news source.
