JONATHAN TURLEY: Democrats pulled the greatest political con job ever on Americans. It's finally unraveling
New declassified documents offer startling revelations about the Hillary Clinton campaign's alleged plan in 2016 to tie Trump to Russia through FBI and media

This week, Washington was rocked by new releases in the declassification of material related to the origins of the Russian investigation. The material shows further evidence of a secret plan by the Clinton campaign to use the FBI and media to spread a false claim that Donald Trump was a Russian asset. With this material, the public is finally seeing how officials and reporters set into motion what may be the greatest hoax ever perpetrated in American politics.

There never was a Russian collusion conspiracy. This is the emerging story of the real Russian conspiracy to manufacture a false narrative that succeeded in devouring much of the first term of the Trump administration.

What is emerging in these documents is a political illusion carefully constructed by government officials and a willing media. The brilliance of the trick was getting reporters to buy into the illusion; to own it like members of an audience called to the stage by an illusionist.

The effort closely followed the three steps of the classic magic trick: The Pledge, The Turn, and The Prestige.

I never believed any of that "Russia" crap for a minute.

Why did you...?

"Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it’s entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." - Alan Simpson, Frontline Video Interview

It was complicit media.  They didn't need convincing.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

                    I've been waiting since "Lock her Up' 10 years ago. 

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
It was complicit media.  They didn't need convincing.
They weren't bamboozled.
They weren't conned.
They weren't "convinced".
They were on the team.
They still are.

...and that's why (along with COVID) they have lost the trust of the majority of Americans.

We knew the whole Russia Russia Russia thing was BS.
If anything, Hillary cheated.

The 'fix' was in.

That's why they were so gobsmacked when Hillary lost.
...which potentially opened the whole bloody lot of them up to being prosecuted--and that's why the 24/7 news cycle became nothing but "Orange Man Bad", along with all their talk shows.

Because the media (ABCNNBCBS) were on the team and willing participants.

They just got better at cheating for 2020, and America got better at watching for it in 2024.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
