CONSPIRACY & COLLUSION: 'Russia, Russia, Russia' is not a hoax

(and as it so happened, neither was Covid)

'Russia, Russia, Russia' is not a hoax - Alternet.org

Years before... Donald Trump seized upon the Big Lie that the 2020 presidential election had been stolen, he insistently promoted another supersized falsehood -- namely that charges of Russian interference in the 2016 election were "a hoax." His minions in the media, from Fox News down to the lowliest web trolls, have incessantly parroted that lie despite the volumes of evidence uncovered by the Senate Intelligence Committee's bipartisan investigation and the special counsel probe by Robert Mueller.

But now a fresh indictment released by the Justice Department on Sept. 4 shows that the Kremlin conspiracy to rig U.S. elections in favor of the Republican Party is not a liberal myth but a live threat -- and that several of the most prominent MAGA media voices denouncing the "hoax" were themselves on the Russian payroll, taking big money.

The indictment describes in detail, with supporting documents translated from Russian, how Kremlin consultants and employees of RT, the state media outlet, directed at least $10 million in funding to a shadowy Tennessee firm known as Tenet Media.

In short, federal investigators caught "Russia, Russia, Russia" -- as a mocking Trump likes to say -- interfering yet again to prop up his campaign. And just as word of the indictment broke, [he] reiterated his promise to sell out Ukraine for a "peace" plan as soon as he wins election, even before he enters the White House. What Russia spent on Tenet would be pocket change compared with that return on investment.

* tarnish the process and diminish support and legitimacy of the actual winner. It didn't start with Trump—he's not the first to use this. In the past, it has proved to be very effective, tragically.

aloud to run out on the Mueller report. Oh, wait, the statute of limitations have run out better than 2 years ago, we still haven't seen an un-redacted Mueller report. Strange, huh. Maybe CONSPIRACY & COLLUSION: 'Russia, Russia, Russia' is not a hoax, but the public is not going to see an un-redacted Mueller report in the near future. Is the DOJ protecting those that help the Russians in 2016 election, truth or false ?

Then pee-resident Trump gestures to Russia's then-ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak, as he speaks to still-Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in the Oval Office on Wednesday, May 10, 2017. (Alexander Shcherbak/TASS/Getty Images)

“I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job," Trump said, according to The Times. "I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off.”

"I'm not under investigation," he added.



They all laughed.

Inside Job:



IMPOTUS: "I actually took one when I -- very recently, when I -- when I was -- the radical left were saying, is he all there? Is he all there? And I proved I was all there, because I got -- I aced it. I aced the test. I took it at Walter Reed Medical Center in front of doctors. And they were very surprised. They said, that's an unbelievable thing. Rarely does anybody do what you just did."

What’s another word for a "pee-resident" who also is Putin’s Agent? Traitor.
