Exposing the New York Times for publishing fake news in the Russian collusion hoax, 65-year-old Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, declassified documents proving that the FBI’s lead investigator into President Donald Trump’s alleged Russian ties, 50-year-old former FBI agent Peter Strzok, said their was no contact between the Trump campaign a Russian intelligence. New York Times spokeswoman Eileen Murphy said the paper stands by its reporting, “Trump Campaign Aides Had Repeated Contacts with Russian Intelligence.” Showing that newspapers knows how to spin, the Times has been caught red handed spreading fake news but somehow finds a way to deny it. “We are unaware of ANY Trump advisers engaging in conversations with Russian intelligence officials,” Strzok’s declassified memo said.
What’s significant about the latest New York Times excuse today is that it knows what’s on the way, namely, indictments of former Obama administration officials for conducting an illegal counterintelligence investigation of Trump and his 2016 campaign. New York Times published countless stories from anonymously sourced articles drawing reckless conclusions about Trump alleged ties with Moscow. Without admitting it, the Times was fed constant lies by 60-year-old former FBI Director James Comey who was fired by 74-year-old President Donald Trump May 9, 2017 for continuously leaking to the press and conducting an illegal counterintelligence investigation into Trump’s campaign. Now the New York Times tries to save face, saying it was more interested in alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 campaign, not Trump’s involvement, an obsession with the Democrat Party.
Times’ front-page story, “Trump Campaign Aides Had Repeated Contacts with Russian Intelligence” could not be more clear in fingering Trump for what it thought was an impeachable offense. Since 72-year-old former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton raised the issue of Trump being a “Putin puppet” in the final Presidential debate Oct. 19. 2016 in Las Vegas, the Times did everything possible to support Hillary’s contention. After all, Hillary’s paid opposition research AKA “the Steele Dossier,” said that Trump and his campaign conspired with Russian to win the 2016 presidential election. When Hillary gave her fake dossier to the late Sen. John McCain (R-Az) in July 2016, it was handed to Comey to justify wiretapping the Trump campaign. Comey obliged, presenting the Dossier as probable cause to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act [FISA] Court to get warrants to wiretap Trump’s campaign.
Everyone, including Hillary, the New York Times, McCain and Comey knew the contents of the Dossier were either fabricated completely or based on dubious sources, none of which could be verified. Yet eight days after Comey was fired, Democrats and the media insisted Trump “obstructed justice” in firing Comey, demanding the Justice Department appoint a Special Counsel. Since Atty. Gen. Jeff Sessions had recused himself of anything related to the Russian probe, Deputy Atty. Gen. Rod Rosenstein appointed 75-year-old former FBI Director Robert Mueller as Special Counsel May 17, 2017. Mueller knew from Day One that the “probable cause” for the Special Counsel investigation was based on Hillary’s fake dossier. Showing that the New York Times, once again, had engaged in more fake news, they quoted Strzok’s personal attorney refuting Graham’s findings.
Now caught red handed in spreading fake news, the Time’s in full-on damage control mode, finding anything to excuse its spurious reporting. “Senator Graham’s statement represents another attempt by President Trump’s congressional lackeys to use Pete’s work product to paint the Russian investigation as a political witch hunt,” said Aitan Goelman in a prepared statement. Goelman called Strzok’s notes “nothing more that a dedicated counterintelligence professional diligently vetting public reports of intelligence information,” Goelman said, that Strzok got his information on Trump’s collusion from the New York Times. When he talks of “public reports,” what else could Goleman be referring to? If FBI agents rely on U.S. newspapers for their intel, God help the American public. Surely Strzok had something other than “public reports” to conclude there was no Russian contacts.
Graham declassifying Strzok’s notes shows for all to see that the New York Times had no basis other than pure politics for its headline story, “Trump Campaign Aides Had Repeated Contacts with Russian Intelligence.” Any way you spin it, it shows the New York Times relied exclusively on its anonymous source, most likely Comey, who fed disinformation to the paper to besmirch Trump. “We are unaware of ANY advisors engaging in conversations with Russian intelligence officials,” Strzok wrote, something the Times would not have known. No, the New York Times relied on one corrupt source for its front-page story, former FBI Director James Comey. Democrats hoped that Mueller would verify the fake Steele Dossier, insisting Trump conspired with Russia to win the 2016 election. Making more excuses today, the New York Times shows it was guilty of more fake news.
