Democrats intentionally used disinformation from Russia to attack Trump, campaign aides

By Rowan Scarborough

July 11, 2017

While the mainstream news media hunts for evidence of Trump-Russia collusion, the public record shows that Democrats have willfully used Moscow disinformation to influence the presidential election against Donald Trump and attack his administration.

The disinformation came in the form of a Russian-fed dossier written by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele. It contains a series of unverified criminal charges against Mr. Trump’s campaign aides, such as coordinating Moscow’s hacking of Democratic Party computers.

Some Democrats have widely circulated the discredited information. Mr. Steele was paid by the Democrat-funded opposition research firm Fusion GPS with money from a Hillary Clinton backer. Fusion GPS distributed the dossier among Democrats and journalists. The information fell into the hands of the FBI, which used it in part to investigate Mr. Trump’s campaign aides.

Mr. Steele makes clear that his unproven charges came almost exclusively from sources linked to the Kremlin and Russian President Vladimir Putin. He identified his sources as “a senior Russian Foreign Ministry figure,” a former “top level Russian intelligence officer active inside the Kremlin,” a “senior Kremlin official” and a “senior Russian government official.”

The same Democrats who have condemned Russia’s election interference via plying fake news and hacking email servers have quoted freely from the Steele anti-Trump memos derived from creatures of the Kremlin.

In other words, there is public evidence of significant, indirect collusion between Democrats and Russian disinformation, a Trump supporter said. ...”

As Rush was saying, Mueller must have believed the dossier. The media wanted it to be true. However, Deplorable that I am, I immediately thought it was a load of bull excrement. So ludicrous! These people are stupid.

Journalists are lazy. Feed them what to print and say and they all chime in like mockingbirds, singing the very same tune. When there is so much worthy of news all they do is repeat the same tired accusations about Russia, anything out of the freshman congressmen’s mouth, anything negative on Trump. The sound of media makes multiple outlets redundant. They all sound a like. A person doesn’t need to think when watching, just absorb.

Why in the world do they think leftist ideology is the standard? Pushing down our throats all manner of things that further the socialist/communist agenda.

It would take an absolute fool to believe Trump colluded with the Russians, and I do not believe for 1 second that the “main stream” media hacks ever, ever, ever truly believed Trump was Putin’s puppet. They just talked the talk to fool the low info crowd that always blindly vote Dems for the “free stuff”. To believe they were simply reporting what they honestly believed would indicate these people have a little integrity. Nah....simply impossible for me to get my mind around that possibility.
