The WaPo Story About Trump “Misleading” is Misleading and Ignores Some Major Facts!
IWB ^ | Mark Angelides

Posted on 08/02/2017 8:20:14 AM PDT by davikkm

The Washington Post’s shiny new story about the possibility of Donald Trump having mislead the American people by stage-managing the whole response to the “Russian Lawyer” meeting of Don Jr. is as inventive a piece of fiction as they can legally get away with. The use of “Anonymous sources” YET AGAIN, is becoming ludicrous. It lacks evidence, and in fact is easier to poke holes in then a pair of fishnet stockings.

The “Scandal” comes from the assertion that when news broke of Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with a “Russian Lawyer, the President himself stepped in and stage-managed the whole event; dictating Don Jr.’s response to show that “he was approached first” and to play it down as “unimportant” and about “adoption” regulations.

The real story here is the ubiquitous GPS Fusion.

1. The Russian lawyer visa application shows GPS Fusion as her employer.

2. The claim that the Dems employed GPS Fusion during the election and they continue to do so today.

3. The HUGE CLAIM that the Dems paid for the Trump Dossier that is the basis for the Mueller investigation.

Now that is a real story - if true. Now I’m betting item one could be confirmed with a little research.

But how about the much more important items 2 and 3. Both have been rumored.

BUT HAVE THEY BEEN PROVEN?

I don’t know.

Trump needs a super duper communications guy, to step in here and rock steady the ship. He can continue the tweets, but they need to be filtered, or better yet, wait a few hours before releasing the tweet.

I’m not sure why an article about the WP misleading people with lies would be noteworthy any more. Every article on the WP is like this.

Sarah Huckabee-Sanders should just ignore questions about this stupid stuff and tell them to go ask the people who made it all up.

She should say “We are not longer going to respond about media works of fiction”

They could make up a new story every day (and it seems like they have) and she could spend every single day denying them...

Just stop answering and remove the press credentials of repeat offenders.

PS is she hot or what?

Ignore a fact = Tell a lie

Identical concepts and identical acts

If the WaPo wrote it you can be sure it was spun to make Trump look bad. Try not to read it unless you are doing opposition research.

On the other thread about this story, Ultra Sonic 007 said this:


“according to multiple people with knowledge of the deliberations.”

“said one of the president’s advisers, who like most other people interviewed for this article spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal deliberations.”

“Because Trump believes he is innocent, some advisers explained, he therefore does not think he is at any legal risk for a coverup. In his mind, they said, there is nothing to conceal. “

“In one scenario, these people said”

“according to people with knowledge of the discussions.”

“according to people with knowledge of the events.”

Funny how no one’s willing to put their name out. Why not show some guts and become immortalized in the eyes of all your liberal buddies? But nah, it’s all anonymous.

FAKE news.

"If you repeat a lie enough, people will believe it's true.." And this is where it begins. They're laying the groundwork for a new narrative, that they'll use to keep the Russia (non)-story alive. This is their repeatable process by which they've successfully kept us on the ropes for far too long.

We need a repeatable process for knocking down their narratives at inception.

Here you go:

White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders told a briefing yesterday President Trump “certainly didn’t dictate (the statement), but ... he weighed in, offered suggestion like any father would do”.

Because “reporting” was nothing but fawning over and promoting the democraps.
