If you’re a bit confused about what is going on in the ongoing investigation in Russia’s impact on our 2016 election, and the role that the Trump campaign, the intelligence community, and the Clinton campaign may have had in what was happening… don’t be troubled that you can’t keep up.

The media has done an amazing job blaming President Trump for muddying the waters, when it’s the media itself that has been attempting (and succeeding) to confuse everyone.

For example, it was the Washington Post and the New York Times that originally broke the stories that revealed that there was a spy in the Trump campaign.

However, if you were to read either of these papers today you would learn that President Trump is lying and that there never was a spy in the campaign! Instead, what there was… was a “confidential informant.” See, there was this guy who was gathering informaiton on the campaign and the people in the campaign, then surreptitiously handing that information over to the FBI who were secretly investigating that campaign. Now, sure, most of us would call this spying… but the media tells us that it’s not spying.

The media is completely lost in the weeds on this story. They have been hoisted on their own petard.
