DeSantis: NYT Papadopoulos Claim Not What FBI and DOJ Told Congressional Investigators
The Last Refuge - Conservative Treehouse ^ | 12/31/2017 | Sundance

Posted on 12/31/2017 4:17:05 PM PST by mojito

Florida Representative and Judicary Committee member Ron DeSantis appears on Sunday Morning Futures and deconstructs the leaked intelligence community propaganda pushed by the New York Times.

Essentially DeSantis states the claims surrounding the origin of the 2016 Russian Probe, made by the leaked intelligence sources, does not align with the sworn congressional testimony given by the FBI and DOJ to the judiciary committee.

@02:00: “There was just an article in The New York Times yesterday where they’re leaking about this Papadopoulos, which actually conflicts with previous stories, and is not anything anyone can say under oath on-the-record to us. You look at that and say, “Ok you’re not willing to answer Congress’s questions under oath but you’ll leak things to the media?”…

Somebody has some explainin' to do.

I smelled retraction when I read the story. Someone tried to paint a wildly incorrect version of what happened.

This is what a skater looks like doing a backflip when he realizes he didn’t jump high enough.

George P. should go back to Chicago and drizzle honey on his granny’s dessert.

That’s his skillset.

DeSantis has major gravitas. Trump has already endorsed him as the next Governor of Florida.

We need an AG who will begin putting swamp critters in jail! It seems the only thing Sessions has done is recuse himself from swamp clean-up cases and given the liberal, progressive, pro-Clinton, swamp-critter Rosenstein reign over the department.

President Trump needs to fire Sessions and appoint an AG who will fire and/or prosecute all the criminal, liberal, demoncrap, anti-American, RINO, deep-state swamp critters in our government. Wow - that's a lot of people. It will likely require finding/hiring Freepers to fill all those vacated positions. LOL!!

I was at the gym earlier and CNN was doing their usual circle-jerk salivating over this claim. If it gets retracted it goes into that huge pile of “Fake News”, CNN’s main product.

They are desperate to deflect attention away from the mis-use of the Steele dossier to drive the investigation.

Yeah, give Sessions his Gold Watch and his Parade and send him home!

Pitchin' and fetchin' and caught in so many lies.

How many perjury charges will come out of this and how many will ever be prosecuted.

Is the Swamp in disarray and trying anything to get out of their quandary?

The Papadoofus story is to throw the scent off the dossier, or should I say “stench”, because there is a terrible odor of urine.

“Ha haaaa!!! Someone lied to the New York Slimes. Say it ain’t so!”

Since the NY Slimes IS in and of itself a lie, how would you know the difference?

Since that happens this next year, is DeSantis on the inside track, and if he is, who replaces him in the House? We need someone like him in that seat.

“...smelled retraction...”

Same here. In fact the thing read like a slick fiction writer’s blog.

The lies from the DOJ and FBI are so bad and many. They didn’t care because they all beleived Clinton was going to win the Presidency. Hope they all do time in club Fed(at least they better). This thing is bigger than Watergate by a long shot.

Why? NYT was using sources or “undisclosed document”..so someone leaking to the Times again and lying to push a narrative or they’re making chit up?
