Why does this story sound like a complete and total fabrication?
Sounds like Comey or Schiff could have written it.
I had a hard time reading it with a straight face
*** FAKE NEWS ***
Our intelligence agencies are so desperate for dirt on Trump they paid a Russian fraudster $100K.
It’s very believable.
Because crap is about to break and this is a preemptive strike...to discredit as old news and already debunked.
>>Why does this story sound like a complete and total fabrication?
It sounds fake that obama’s spies would pay tax payer money to get dirt on Trump?
In what way does that sound fake? It sounds exactly in character for Obama and his minions.
Why does this story sound like a complete and total fabrication?
Because its in The NY Times.
Yes, it reads like a story one would use to cover one’s arse and keep one’s job if one got caught at work trying to buy smut.
Not to mention, anything that involved Cody Shearer is liable to be deep bullsheiss. Cody is one of the Sid Blumenthal related folks like the late Tyler Drumheller.
Tyler Drumheller was a pal of Joe Wilson. They were all intertined in the antisemitic group VIPs which is in turn related to the LaRouche nuts like Larry Johnson and Karen Kwietkowski, the latter a source who fed nonsense to the eager believer Ted Kennedy of all people, to bash Rumsfeld.
I hear Hillary’s pal Joe Wilson- whose NYTimes op ed got the Scooter Libby travesty rolling - I hear his allegedly super dooper deep cover spy wife, Valerie Plame, is writing spy novels now.
I’d not be surprised if she wrote this.
They put their house on the market a few months ago but none of the articles about it mentioned to where they were moving. they’re up to something no doubt.
The story also sounds like the stuff those Russian on air comedians fooled Schiff and Maxine Waters with...
One thing... whoever wrote it has been using Cody Shearer as a source since last year:
Reached by phone late last year, Mr. Shearer would say only that his work was a big deal you know what it is, and you shouldnt be asking about it.
NSA thugs were trying to buy dirt on Trump because the ‘intelligence’ services were attempting a coup against the American people and our right to choose our own leader with free elections.
Anyone involved with trying to overthrow a duly elected President should be tried for treason.
Why does this story sound like a complete and total fabrication?
Bingo. This story is nothing but a pathetic attempt to create a backstory to cover how the FBI paid for opo research on Trump. Now they making the claim of making the payment for an inventory of missing hacking software, but those crafty Russians delivered Trump opo documents instead! Give me a break.
First, it would be of zero value to get an inventory of stollen hacking tools. Theyve been stollen. Theyre all stollen. What youre going to trust the Russians who ostensibly stole them to tell you what they stole?
The real tell in this article that it is a fake is the notice supposedly given to the Russians to not provide opo research on Trump. Why would that come up in a conversation on an inventory of stollen hacking tools?
It’s in the NY Times. The only reason anyone would leak it is that it makes it sound as if the IC is backing off anything anti-Trump for fear of repercussions. The IC would not want it known that they were successfully played for fools twice. So this is not a leak, it’s fake news.
