There was a full on Trump-Ukraine blow-up on Sunday’s Meet the Press, with Chuck Todd quick to slam what he called “Fox News Conspiracy Propaganda Stuff!”
How could anyone not trust the CIA after the “Iraq has WMDs” hoax and the FBI after the Russiagate hoax?!
The questionable actions of former FBI Director James Comey, former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and former CIA director John Brennan have made it impossible for Americans to trust the country’s intelligence apparatuses and created a sense of extreme skepticism, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., said during an interview that aired Sunday.
Johnson appeared on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” and got into a heated debate with host Chuck Todd over House Democrats’ impeachment efforts and various intelligence community abuses. The GOP senator said there still were unanswered questions when asked if he thought Russia interfered in the 2016 election.
“They absolutely did,” Johnson replied. “I don’t know to what extent the Ukrainians did. I don’t know to what extent the DNC [Democratic National Committee] and the Hillary Clinton campaign were involved in… juicing up the Ukrainian involvement, as well. There are a lot of unanswered questions… Chuck, I just want the truth. The American people want the truth.”
“Do you not trust the FBI — you don’t trust the CIA?” Todd shot back.
“No, no, I don’t,” Johnson stated. “Absolutely not. After [former FBI Agent] Peter Strzok and [attorney] Lisa Page? After James Comey, John Brennan, no, I don’t trust any of these guys in the Obama administration.”
Todd’s interview with Brennan was actually even more embarrassing:

MSNBC & John Brennan discuss "disinformation campaigns"
Like leaking DNC/Hillary/FBI-paid for Russian disinformation & spreading the lie of Russia collusion for 2+ yrs?
"This dishonesty, this info now is overwhelming & inundating the air waves"
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) declared Friday that President Donald Trump’s suggestion that China and Ukraine investigate former Vice President Joe Biden’s dealings with the two countries is “wrong and appalling.”
“When the only American citizen President Trump singles out for China’s investigation is his political opponent in the midst of the Democratic nomination process, it strains credulity to suggest that it is anything other than politically motivated,” Romney wrote on Twitter. “By all appearances, the President’s brazen and unprecedented appeal to China and to Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden is wrong and appalling.”
The Never Trump lawmaker’s comments come after President Trump said Thursday that China should investigate Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, for alleged corruption.
“China should start an investigation into the Bidens because what happened in China is just about as bad as Ukraine,” the president told reporters outside the White House ahead of a visit to Florida to deliver remarks on health care.
As Breitbart News extensively reported, Hunter Biden’s investment firm secured a $1.5 billion investment deal with the Bank of China after traveling with his father on Air Force Two to the country in 2013.
Further, President Trump re-upped his call for Ukraine to look into the Biden family’s dealings in the eastern European country.
He repeated his call for Ukraine to investigate the Bidens when reporters asked him again what he thought Ukranian officials should do with Biden, saying, “I would think that if they were honest about it, they would start a major investigation” into the former second family.
Biden forced out former Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin as he was investigating an energy company called Burisma Holdings, which was paying Biden handsomely as a member of its board. The former vice president evenboastedto the Council of Foreign Relations last year that he had threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid unless the prosecutor was fired. (He did not tell the audience about his son’s role.)
“Nobody has any doubt that they weren’t crooked; that was a crooked deal 100 percent,”said the president.
CNN is refusing to air a new Trump campaign ad documenting the corruption of Joe Biden surrounding his son’s personally lucrative involvement with a Ukrainian gas company.
The ad, titled, ‘Biden Corruption,’ exposes Biden’s self-serving and personally conflicting effort to get Ukraine to fire a prosecutor investigating his son Hunter’s involvement with a company called Burisma. Hunter Biden was paid millions of dollars by the foreign oligarch-owned gas company without any prior experience in the natural gas industry.
Biden has admitted in his own words that he forced the Ukrainian government to fire Viktor Shokin, who was investigating his son at the time.
The Trump campaign sought to air the ad on CNN, hoping to insert a glimmer of nuance into the programming of a network constantly weighed down by fake news controversies and inaccurate reporting. CNN confirmed their utter lack of neutrality in officially declining to air the ad. A spokesperson for the fake news network confirmed CNN’s rationale in a statement to the Daily Beast.
“CNN is rejecting the ad, as it does not meet our advertising standards. Specifically, in addition to disparaging CNN and its journalists, the ad makes assertions that have been proven demonstrably false by various news outlets, including CNN.”
Irony appears to be lost on the corporate news network, that claims to represent the pinnacle in journalistic integrity while blatantly instituting partisan rules that block the Trump campaign from running ads on-air. CNN regularly allows advertising content from progressive Democrats and establishment Republicans.
As the latest round of Democratic hyperventilation over Trump’s supposed Ukraine “scandal”dies with the absence of any realistic prospects of impeachment, CNN is prepared to carry water for liberals in the next inevitable media-manufactured controversy.
Appearing Wednesday on ABC News, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) falsely claimed House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) “didn’t make it up” and used President Donald Trump’s “own words” when he performed afabricated conversationbetween the president and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a recent hearing.
A partial transcript is as follows:
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: The president was watching your press conference. He says he heard you talk about wanting to do prescription drugs, wanting to do [the] U.S.-Mexico-Canada agreement, but now he’s calling you the do-nothing Democrats, says you can’t do it.
HOUSE SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI: Why can’t we do it? It’s up to him. That was our pledge during the campaign for the people, we would lower the cost of prescription drugs. I think that the president wants to do that, so I hope that he would cooperate. He does want the United States-Canada-Mexico free trade agreement. So do we, when we have assurances that there will be enforceability for America’s workers and America’s farmers. And we’re close, we’re on a path to “yes.” So, I think the president knows the argument that could be made against him, and he’s scared. And so he’s trying to divert attention from that, to where it’s standing in the way of legislation.
STEPHANOPOULOS: You say “he’s scared.” You know, he had another tweet right after the one I just talked to you about where he used a word I’m not going to repeat right here. Did you hear the fear in his voice when you spoke to him on the phone last week?
PELOSI: I saw the surprise in his voice that he didn’t understand that I thought what he did was wrong, that he was undermining our national security, that he was undermining our constitution by his actions, and he was undermining the integrity of our elections. He just didn’t see it.
[…]
STEPHANOPOULOS: I know you support chairman Schiff but was it right for him to have that dramatic interpretation of the president’s transcript of the phone call at the hearing last week.
PELOSI: I want the American people to know what that phone call was about. I want them to hear, it. So, yeah, it’s fair. It’s sad but he was using the president’s own words. So if he’s—.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, those weren’t the president’s words, it was an interpretation of the president’s words. They’re saying he made this up.
PELOSI: He didn’t make it up.
On September 26, Schiff performed what he called “the essence” of what Trump said to Zelensky in his opening statement as House Intel Chairman:
We’ve been very good to your country. Very good. No other country has done as much as we have. But you know what? I don’t see much reciprocity here. I hear what you want. I have a favor I want from YOU though. And I’m going to say this only seven times, so you better listen good. I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand? Lots of it. On this and on that. I’m gonna put you in touch with people, and not just any people. I’m going to put you in touch with the attorney general of the United States, my attorney general Bill Barr. He’s got the whole weight of the American law enforcement behind him. And I’m gonna put you in touch with Rudy, you’re gonna love him, trust me. You know what I’m asking, so I’m only going to say this a few more times, in a few more ways. And, by the way, don’t call me again. I’ll call you when you’ve done what I asked.
This is in sum and character what the president was trying to communicate.
The words “reciprocity,”“make up dirt,”“political opponent,” and many more of the rhetorical flourishes do not show up in the actual transcript. Trump encourages Zelensky to “call me more often” and mentions Biden by name once — not eight times, as erroneously claimed by the so-called “whistleblower” who contacted Schiff’s House Intel Committee before going to the intelligence community’s inspector general.
There is no evidence for Pelosi’s claim that Schiff was communicating the truth. There is only evidence to the contrary, making this statement clearly false.
The House Congressional Democrats wrote the State Department last week to request testimony from career officials on Ukraine and to demand the Trump State Department turn over requested documents on Ukraine.
Yesterday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced he would refuse to allow State Department officials to testify before the Congressional committees on impeachment.
This was after Democrats in the House violated fundamental principles, contacted State Department officials directly and told them NOT to contact legal counsel.
Democrat lawmakers also requested documents from the Pompeo State Department on Ukraine.
Today the State Department sent over the documents and announced they would brief Congress on their findings. But the documents weren’t what the Democrats were expecting!
The Trump administration sent over documents on Hillary Clinton’s collusion with Ukraine in the 2016 election and the Biden Family’s massive pay-for-play with the Ukrainian regime!
Zing!
Rudy Giuliani discussed this major Trump troll on Hannity tonight.
Hillary Clinton is now claiming she is the victim of a “witch hunt,” co-opting a term frequently used by President Trump in reference to partisan investigations against him.
In an interview with leftist media outlet Now This, Clinton attempted to flip the script on Trump by claiming his calls to investigate her deleted emails was the “real” witch hunt.
“It’s a witch hunt. It’s a real one, unlike the kind of things Trump talks about,” Clinton said.
“It is meant to raise the specter about my emails, which were investigated endlessly,” Hillary claimed, crediting Trump for being “crazy like a fox.”
“If the Republicans and Trump and his supporters in the media can muddy the waters and raise all kinds of crazy conspiracy theories, then maybe people won’t pay attention to the danger he poses to our country,” she claimed.
In 2016, FBI Director James Comeyannounced an investigation into the emails found that Clinton and her colleagues had mishandled highly classified information in an “extremely careless” way, however he made no recommendation to the Justice Department to pursue charges stating that “no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.”
‘It’s a witch hunt and it’s a real one.’ — @HillaryClinton explained how Trump’s new probe into her emails is a diversion tactic in this exclusive interview with NowThis pic.twitter.com/jntN7NxPy4
While Clinton would rather put her emails in the rearview mirror, the Trump administration is still actively conducting an ongoing investigation into State Department officials who sent emails to Clinton’s private server, emails which have retroactively been deemed classified “and now constitute potential security violations,” according to the Washington Post.
Trump has frequently used the term “witch hunt” to refer to the now-defunct FBI probe investigating whether his campaign colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election.
It’s time to end career politicians. The wrong people are in office. You shouldn’t want to be in office, you should be needed in office. It’s time to lock up the ones that are actually guilty. You live by the sword, you die by the sword. The hypocrisy is sickening, to say the least.
Deep state is about to be called out, This is a hailmary to save themselves from jail. Why do think Pelosi said she didn’t care if this causes then to lose the house and the presidency. She to worried about protecting her and her deep state friends.
🤔 Has Madcow ever gotten anything right? She must be Baghdad Bob’s sister. 😏
