The focus from this moment on should be WHO started these rumors about Russian collusion.
WHO are the individuals and groups who pushed this narrative?
The narrative has proven to be false so who created this false narrative?
Woman, try digging up and poking a dead songbird. HE is a major source of all this mess.
This should be easy considering we have always known exaactly who they are!
Hold on to your pen, Sharyl, there’s more coming.
“If you set out to kill the king, you had best make sure you kill the king.” Emerson............
Just who conspired to put the “dossier” into the hands of the FBI?
Uh, one of them is a dead American ‘hero’ who can’t be criticized...
How could any sane human think Donald Trump was a Putin sock puppet? How utterly ridiculous!!! Those on the left are insane and delusional - they actually believed ( or wanted to believe) the deep state lies.
Folks, cancel your cable subscriptions. Get a good antenna and stream your content.
You PAID FOR ALL OF THIS MEDIA WHORING, EVERYWHERE.
One point I didn’t notice . . . does this mean Michael Flynn’s indictment gets dropped?
Attiksson is, of course right, as far as she goes. What’s needed, in addition, is reparations. And not just recovery for lost income and expenses, but also compensatory damages. The compensatory damages need to be so high, that no Deep State bureaucrat will ever try this again.
1. Sharyl Atkisson apologizing for actions of others is plain weird.
2. I’m sorry I ruined your life. Friends again? Point being, apology is not enough. Massive damage has been wrought by false accusation amplified by duplicitous press. That damage will never be corrected, but the people who perpetrated it should suffer credibility, financial and/or liberty consequences. This sort of “false accusation” conduct must be punished to deter the use of false accusation becoming a routine tool.
We look for remorse from the convicted criminal. Same is due in this case, even if the false accusation isn’t technically criminal conduct.
Apologies for the stress on their jobs and to their families, the damage to their reputations, the money they had to spend to hire legal representation and defend themselves from charges for crimes they did not commit.

The plot wasn’t only against Trump. It was also intended to send a message to any FUTURE outsider candidates that their opposition to the Deep State will be relentlessly harassed, and anyone associated in any way with said candidate will be persecuted unmercifully.
Make no mistake, this was a two pronged plot against Trump and anyone associated with him. The Deep State was sending a very intimidating message to all of its would be opponents. It signaled that it would use all agencies and resouces at its disposal to target its enemies.
And that is why these kinds of tactics must be punished. Otherwise, this will all happen again. And next time we may not be so lucky.
We deserve to know WHY. From a foreign national this should have been a HUGE red flag. So was this a US plot or an international plot, and why this enormous elaborate scheme?
And what next from these “ desperate” people? Do people with this much power go gently into the night?
Although this is heartfelt, it is misguided. This was a deliberate attempt to spread falsehoods and slanders in an attempt to nullify an election. It needs to be treated as such.
“WHO are the individuals and groups who pushed this narrative?”
All started with Hillary, her water boy Mook and Podesta.
Christopher Steele testified in the UK, it was about giving her an attack position in case she lost the election.
You haven’t even heard that much in the media. Yet.
It’s coming and so much more.
My dream:
Trump holds a press conference and states he has already ordered a special prosecutor to get to the bottom of the lies that were presented against him and prosecute to the fullest all that were involved.
I respect the lady but this is a boilerplate cowardly attempt at avoiding criticism. Is there someone without flaws? How about spelling out what bothers you as an individual instead of implying that there are a universally accepted group of flaws.
That phrase irritates me almost as much as the geniuses who say "Trump needs to...".

We did a poor job of tracking down leaks of false information. We failed to reasonably weigh the motives of anonymous sources and those claiming to have secret, special evidence of Trump’s “treason.”
As such, we reported a tremendous amount of false information, always to Trump’s detriment.
Hello Jeremy Peters, David Ignatius, Bob Woodward, Jonah Goldberg, The New York Times, and Washington Post.... we're talking about YOU guys.

Remember when the very idea of FISA Courts was lampooned for being a threat to our freedoms?
Well, now that they have been complicit in a coup against a sitting president, perhaps it’s time to reconsider their validity.
