Awkward for Giuliani...

That awkward moment when Rudy Giuliani says collusion with a foreign power is not a crime but his law firm literally advised Cambridge Analytica with numerous memos on foreign agent restrictions

Well then...Leaked private Twitter message shows WikiLeaks wanted Republicans to win 2016 election

Some of the direct messages were previously published, but this is the first time all of the direct messages have been posted.

The messages show that Wikileaks wanted the GOP to defeat Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential elections.

"We believe it would be much better for the GOP to win," the Wikileaks account states to a supporter named "Emmy B" in one of the messages from 2015.

Another Twitter message from the Wikileaks account describes Clinton as a "bright, well-connected, sadistic sociopath."

Wikileaks had been accused of bias against Democrats during the election because of its release of hacked documents from the Democratic National Committee.

Critics believe that the documents released by the group were consistently helpful to the then-GOP nominee's campaign.

"President's lawyer confirms he colluded with Russia, claims only the hacking was a crime."





1. He's no longer claiming Trump didn't collude with Russia. He's claiming "collusion is not a crime."
2. He's not saying Trump did not know abt 2016 Russia mtg in advance. He's saying Trump did not ATTEND it.



Rudy delivers another hit.

“I don't even know if that's a crime -- colluding about Russians. You start analyzing the crime -- the hacking is the crime. The president didn't hack!”

More Fake News!

July 29, 2018

Charles Blow to Trump: "There's no such thing as fake news."

@CharlesMBlow
There’s no such thing as fake news. If something is false it doesn’t get printed. If something false slips through, it gets corrected. There is NO SUCH THING as fake news. You label unflattering news fake, but the news about you is horrible because you live your life horribly.
