Using the 'big lie' to delegitimize election results— Washington Examiner (@dcexaminer) May 23, 2019

This is a very interesting article. While I never quite like any comparisons to people like Hitler, it is quite amazing how the bigger the lie, the more the loony left seems to embrace it. In their collective minds, Hillary Clinton won in 2016, Trump conspired with Putin, Stacy Abrams won the Georgia Governorship, and slew of other things that didn't really happen are reality.
This was the strategy of Adolf Hitler. The bigger the lie, the better chance he had of selling it to the hapless masses! Democrats in 2019 prove that he would have had fertile ground with them.

As was pointed out on twitter this FOIA contains more redactions than the entire Mueller report.

Pretty benign request which shouldn't be delving into sources and methods but does address people involved with Hillary email investigation and deleting of emails.
Hopefully this is among the documents to be released unredacted.
Is the heat coming from all the democrats with their hair on fire?
And what should happen to people granted immunity who lie ?
Tank has become a noisy gnat.
Cauliflower is a colonialist vegetable??
WTF is wrong with the left
Cauliflower is a colonialist vegetable
Well, AOC prefers vegetables of color.
What a pile of Horesehit.....still obsessed with the Steele document is all it has......sad that no matter what has been reported....the rules were followed and the dossier was not the only reason trump was investigated....idiots all of you especially Lil Scotty.....just another opinion that you like....BWAAAAAAAA!!!!!
The "big lie" is back in style. Wikipedia tells us that the term was invented by Adolf Hitler to describe what other did — though he was the biggest liar of all. “The broad masses of a nation,” he wrote in Mein Kampf, “more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie.”
No one on the political scene in this country or any democratic nation is a monster comparable to Hitler. But some have resorted to the big lie in their attempts to override clear decisions of the people, at the risk of delegitimizing the nation’s democracy.
Exhibit A: The increasingly common claims that Democrats Stacey Abrams and Andrew Gillum “won” last fall’s elections for governor in Georgia and Florida. Actually, both of them lost by 50%-49% margins.

Abrams admits this, but insists that “so many people were disenfranchised and disengaged ... that I feel comfortable now saying, ‘I won.’” “Without voter suppression,” presidential candidate Kamala Harris told the Detroit NAACP, “Stacey Abrams would be the governor of Georgia, Andrew Gillum is the governor of Florida.”
This is nonsense. Voter turnout was up 54% in Georgia and 38% in Florida over 2014 levels. And the “voter suppression” that people are complaining about was standard procedure, required by longstanding federal and state laws.
The suggestion that anything happened in Georgia or Florida tantamount to the voter suppression blacks experienced before the 1965 Voting Rights Act — suppression by unfair laws, threats of violence and murder — is preposterous. Perhaps Abrams hopes to convince the many blacks moving to Georgia that it’s run by white segregationists, or to discourage people from voting by making them think their vote won't count. But she and those who echo her charges are saying that America is moving backward on basic civil rights. That’s a big lie, one that stokes racial mistrust and hatred.
Exhibit B: The claims that Donald Trump and his 2016 campaign colluded with the Russians. Perhaps there was reason to believe this two or three years ago, from candidate Donald Trump’s refusals to condemn Vladimir Putin and from his proposed Moscow hotel. His behavior was downright weird in this regard, inviting all sorts of questions.
But the absurdity of much in the Steele dossier, and the fact that it was paid for by the Clinton campaign, should have sent up the early warning flags. The argument that a few Russian bot Facebook ads could have swung the election was always a flimsy one.
Another question: Should whoever is doing and approving the redactions be potentially prosecuted for obstruction of justice if it is later found out that these retractions were not for demonstrable specific reasons (eg protect sources or methods, and they should also be so noted (as Barr has done)). And definitely prosecuted for obstruction if they are just protecting the agency.
Sounds fair to me and sure would make things more transparent and timely
the rules were followed and the dossier was not the only reason trump was investigated.
Right, the people being investigated said they did nothing wrong.
You believe them in spite of investigators already claiming differently.
when it comes to democrats and lying...
...one of the main reasons democrats lie with such ease is that they have convinced themselves that their cause is morally pure. therefore to lie in pursuit of that morally pure objective, lying is acceptable.
the gap-toothed moron you picture has sincerely convinced herself that she won. and she will allow nothing associated with reality to intrude upon that delusion.
the alky does this everyday with respect to trump. in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, all of it derived from an "investigation" that he insisted take place and that he cheered every day, the alky clings to the delusion that trump is guilty of something, and therefore must be thrown out of office.
Abrams: 'Identity politics is exactly who we are and exactly how we won'
She is the Best VP they got.
Alky Predicted Biden/Tank
Dopie, how are you doing?
I am guniuinely concerned.
I am humbly asking because I honestly don't know. What has been the signature piece of Legislation Passed out of the US House and has made it to the Presidents desk and became law since Nancy Polosi took over?
