Did you quote the wrong post? If you were going to deride someone for not caring about facts, I assume you meant to quote the unhinged rambling about the long-ago debunked Russians, HRC, and uranium tall tale.

The desperation is getting insane.

CNN is really working on retaining it's title as the biggest fake news network.

From the article.


The story also says it is unclear what evidence, if any, the FBI has of payments facilitated by Torshin to the NRA or whether the group transferred any funds.

CNN has not independently verified McClatchy's report.



In other words, we have absolute no evidence that any of this ever happened, but what the heck, we'll report it.
That would be the long and short of it.

So much for an unbiased impartial Media.

Several newspapers and networks have followed up on this story, NY Times, The Hill, Daily News, Vanity Fair, Newsweek, MSNBC, Fox News.


Any other thoughts.

It's actually kinda genius. I don't think there is a bigger boogeyman then the NRA to fire up the lefties.

Whatever guys - we all know the Orange Oaf is a corrupt as sin. The choice is yours if you want to remain cultists or actually support this nation.
the problem for you is that hillary and obama are even MORE corrupt than trump, so what does that say about the democrat party these days?

I am not an Obama fan by any means but he is nowhere near as corrupt as Trump. Hillary is a different story though. She might be as corrupt as Trump if not more.

Nobody is taking lessons from the Onion. It is a satirical site and a damn good one at that.

Do you think Manafort will use that line for his defense, for money laundering?
