Dem Senator Uses Info From Conspiracy Blogs To Draw Trump-Russia Connections
Daily Caller ^ | 10 May 2017 | Alex Pfeiffer

Posted on 05/14/2017 7:02:54 PM PDT by Lorianne

Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey uses conspiracy theory-laden blogs as sources for information on alleged Trump-Russia connections, according to a top aide in his office.

“In fact, subpoenas have now been issued in Northern Virginia in regard to General Flynn and General Flynn’s associates. A grand jury has been empaneled up in New York,” the Massachusetts Democrat said in a Wednesday CNN interview.

One of Markey’s top aides told The Daily Caller that his sources were Louise Mensch’s blog and a left-wing blog called the Palmer Report. Markey did not mention these sources in his television appearance.

Mr. Frosty strikes again. Only real job he ever had was driving an Ice Cream truck 40 years ago.
This man is a Multiple Idiot on So very many levels.
He has not lived in MA in 30 some odd years .
His parents former home is in Malden MA.
We think he may, perhaps pay the water bill..not sure.

Markey has always been the little red in the Senate hen-house. Now he’s graduated up to the “little crazy red in the crazy Senate hen-house”.

A product of Massachusetts politics. He should have graduated right into an insane asylum with the rest (Ted Kennedy, Eliz. Warren, Father Drinan, Rep. Michael Harrington (so strange he scared even me), just about any Democrat from Boston, Harvard, Cambridge, MIT, Lowell, something Line, Un. of Amherst, etc).

Some of our best Soviet spies and helpers came from Massachusetts (Read Herbert Philbrick’s “I Led Three Lives” for a look into the Mass. reds).

I even saw the NYT calling him out for that. Even they think those blogs are fake. What does that tell you?

Weellll...

...I’ll say this for the moron: he’s certainly on-page with his lunatic constituency; his imitation of their more unhinged fringies is spot-on. Truly, he’s a man of his own people; perhaps one of few in the Senate who aren’t utterly deaf.

NOT to say that it’s the Voice of Truth he’s hearing, but chalk the guy up a couple of points for being in touch with his nutcase voters. May they all be institutionalized together.

The few viewers at cnn will be we never had their vote anyway.

Reminds me of us when Clintoon was in office (though he actually did something wrong)

We were SURE he was going to be kicked out of office any day now...

Trump is not going anywhere.

The Times will say any blog is fake because they believe they have exclusive rights to fake news. Seriously, any non-mainstream news source, left or right, is a threat to the official democrat/communist media/entertainment/propaganda complex. Not that I agree with the blog (I don’t), but there are other reasons the Times would say it’s fake news.

Leftist loon.
Just keep repeating this nonsense over and over and over....what is it they actually want to believe? Russians electronically hacked into the secure electronic machines and changed votes? The Hillary email stuff, which at least five governments hacked that server? Do the Russians have a mind control ray?

As I discussed previously with one of you: I never thought I’d say it, but I look back at the days of having “The Swimmer” and “Francoise the war hero” as “my” senators as “better times” than today.

My God, this clown and Spreading Bull are just bad. Bad, terrible, gross, embarrassing...horrid.

When do we bottom out?

I have a Senator with one more limb than Darth Vader and the political qualifications to match and another with the brains of a retarded parakeet that would keep flying into the same window pane until it cracked it’s skull and died. And both of them make my Congressman, who looks like Speedy Gonzalez’s pedophilic kindergarten teacher, look good.

So I’m guessing literal “Planet of the Apes” meets “Judge Dredd” is where we bottom out.

OK. Even if it were true -- it has nothing to do with Trump.
