Hypocrisy is the bedrock of liberalism...

The fake “Obamagate” scandal shows how Trump hacks the media

The important thing here is not that this theory is false. The important thing is that we’re talking about it at all, and we’re only talking about it because the president wants us to talk about it. Talking about this non-story means we’re talking less about, say, the nearly 85,000 Americans who have died so far from the coronavirus or the impending recession.

Consider this Axios tweet stating that “Biden’s presence on the list could turn it into an election year issue, though the document itself does not show any evidence of wrongdoing.” But Biden’s name on a document is only an election issue if the press treats it like one. And if the “document itself does not show any evidence of wrongdoing,” why the hell are we talking about it? Again, we’re talking about it because Trump talked about it and now it’s a legitimized “story.”

Here are some bullet point reactions to this:

• A classic example of just demanding something is false, with out providing even an argument as to why it is false. They are choosing to use the bury your head in a sand strategy, which they demand the rest of the country engage in.
• Covid-19 didn't appear to be interesting at all to the liberal media while it was developing. They were too busy reporting on a fake impeachment by the House. But now apparently the 2020 liberal press is incapable of walking and chewing gum simultaneously.  Apparently their attention span is limited to one story at a time. Really? 
• For three years the liberal media pushed the completely 100% debunked "Russian collusion" theory spread by former Obama officials and investigated by partisan Trump hating players. They couldn't put the story down, in spite of it never ever having any evidence or reason to believe it. There justification was always to point to the "seriousness" of the charge, even if it lacked evidence. Where is that same justification now? These are serious allegations. 

I want to go back to the first point here, as it is easily the most important point. To begin with, the facts here are simply not in dispute. There is no "theory" involved. Inspector Generals (who are way smarter and more informed that Vox bloggers) have already combed through this and found that the Obama DOJ and FBI acted in bad faith in a number of areas. These areas included the use of FISA warrants to spy on Trump associates. They included opening up an investigation without proper cause to do so. Undisputed facts show that the FBI not only relyed on information that they knew to be not credible, but also hid the fact that they knew it was not credible.

Right now there are still many pending criminal referrals that Durham and his crew is mulling over. That doesn't necessarily include many patently obvious lies told under oath by people like James Clapper, James Comey, and John Brennan. 

For the most part, the liberal media has refused to report on any of that either. They still maintain that these independent Inspector Generals and the criminal investigation are all somehow part of a grand conservative conspiracy lead by Donald Trump and William Barr to undermine Obama's legacy. 

Now the undisputed facts are coming out on the issue of "unmasking" and other apparent nefarious activities that were just more examples of these same officials spying on, undermining, and disrupting the Trump administration. After denying this over and over and over and over, the very same Obama officials who were in denial about their "unmasking" requests are now having to come up with justifications not only as to why they were unmasking Trump officials. But to simply call it routine NOW calls into question why they would have denied this over and over and over prior.

It also calls into question basic common sense.

Moreover, facts not in dispute also show that no unmasking was done or requested in the matter of the Flynn phone call with the Russian Ambassador. There is no real legitimate security reason to explain how the FBI actually "knew" about Flynn's phone call with the Russian Ambassador. But they did. Every  explanation at this point points to some sort of  unconstitutional and illegal back channel spying on the incoming National Security Advisor. There are no legitimate reasons for the Obama and FBI officials involved to have even known about this phone call, much less held concern.

Bottom line:

There is one reason and one reason only that someone would look at all of the facts and evidence here and draw a conclusion that there is no "Obamagate" and that there is nothing here to see. That would be the underlying liberal belief that Trump is not a legitimate President, his Administration is not legitimate, and that the FBI, and Obama officials were perfectly justified in breaking protocols, laws, the constitution, and abusing authority to undermine both Trump and his incoming Administration.

With American friends like these... Trump doesn't need international enemies.
