The Guardian’s Manafort Story Looks Like An Effort To Create Trump Collusion Narrative Three
The Federalist ^ | November 29, 2018 | Margot Cleveland

On Tuesday The Guardian ran an exclusive claiming that “Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort held secret talks with Julian Assange inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London, and visited around the time he joined Trump’s campaign.” According to The Guardian, Manafort met with the WikiLeaks’ founder at the embassy three times—in 2013, 2015, and in spring 2016.

While acknowledging that the purpose of the claimed meeting is unknown, The Guardian implies Manafort’s supposed March 2016 secret rendezvous concerned WikiLeaks’ role in releasing the hacked Democratic National Committee emails. “The revelation could shed new light on the sequence of events in the run-up to summer 2016, when WikiLeaks published tens of thousands of emails hacked by the GRU, Russia’s military intelligence agency,” The Guardian wrote.

The Guardian story pointed to the discredited dossier crafted by Christopher Steele, quoting the former British spy’s claims that Manafort served as the linchpin of a “well-developed conspiracy of cooperation” between the Trump campaign and Russia, and that “the (hacking) operation had been conducted with the full knowledge and support of Trump and senior members of his campaign team.”

This is an excellent article.

The article in The Guardian that it references has been proven to be lies. It used anonymous sources who were probably Democrat Party operatives and/or Mueller staffers.

While it is extremely difficult to prove a negative it has been simple to prove the Guardian article was nothing but lies.

What it proves is that the Mueller witch hunters and the lying Trump haters are getting desperate. They are now constantly lying.

Guilt by association?

Is the allegation now that wikileaks had the emails in 2013?

Or Christopher Steele. It sounds like his M.O.

The [avowed socialist] Guardian should be given as much credence as anything from the Communist Nonsense Network

It’s a stupid story and an embarrassment for The Guardian to have published it.

Labour Party Lefties love a 1980s melodrama called A Very British Coup.

Was it a playbook?

They are trying to verify anything in the dosier because if they don’t, they all hang. Start practicing your knot tying.
