MSNBC: Covering Trump Surveillance Story Helps Russia ‘Undermine’ American Democracy
Newsbusters ^ | April 3, 2017 | Kyle Drennen

Posted on 04/03/2017 5:42:11 PM PDT by kevcol

So desperate to discredit a bombshell Bloomberg report that former Obama National Security Adviser Susan Rice sought to unmask Trump transition officials caught up in intelligence surveillance, on Monday afternoon, MSNBC host Katy Tur outrageously suggested that simply reporting on the story was helping Russia “undermine our democratic institutions.”

During the 2 p.m. ET hour, Tur talked to the journalist who broke the news, Bloomberg View columnist Eli Lake, and tried to dismiss his reporting by conflating it with a blog post from a conspiracy theorist: “Eli, the same details from your report appeared last night in another report by the man who pushed the Pizzagate story. Does that concern you?”

Dems are guilty, guilty, guilty and they STILL insist it was the Russians.

MSM is awful, which of course we all knew, but still...

Katy Tur wouldn’t know a “democratic institution” if one bit her on the ass.

“Eli, the same details from your report appeared last night in another report by the man who pushed the Pizzagate story. Does that concern you?”

So MS-DNC reporters have internalized the same "attack the messenger" strategy that Democrat political operatives use. Lake's isn't simply relying on someone else's story. He did independent reporting. But because someone else reported it first, she tries to smear the story and the original journalist -- make the story so toxic by association that they don't have to talk about it.

Someone spilled coffee in a Fake News Media office yesterday.

It was The Russians’ fault.

WOW. They are completely unhinged, and have given up all efforts to disguise it.

Since there is a worldwide pedophile network of criminal conspirators, those who are among them SHOULD be very concerned. Their criminal enterprise is collapsing.

Below is Cernovich’s data on this criminal act by Rice:

Susan Rice Requested Unmasking of Incoming Trump Administration Officials

Susan Rice, who served as the National Security Adviser under President Obama, has been identified as the official who requested unmasking of incoming Trump officials, Cernovich Media can exclusively report.

The White House Counsel’s office identified Rice as the person responsible for the unmasking after examining Rice’s document log requests. The reports Rice requested to see are kept under tightly-controlled conditions. Each person must log her name before being granted access to them.

Upon learning of Rice’s actions, H. R. McMaster dispatched his close aide Derek Harvey to Capitol Hill to brief Chairman Nunes.

“Unmasking” is the process of identifying individuals whose communications were caught in the dragnet of intelligence gathering. While conducting investigations into terrorism and other related crimes, intelligence analysts incidentally capture conversations about parties not subject to the search warrant. The identities of individuals who are not under investigation are kept confidential, for legal and moral reasons.

Excerpted: Go to link for full story on Obama’s Hit Woman, Susan Rice in this criminal act.

Without Fake Russian Hacking stories and other fake news about Trump, ABCNNBCBS, Faux, WSJ, NY/LA Slimes, and the Compost would have to close their doors.
