Fox Snooze is implicated in Stone fraud charges...Kurt Eichenwald

[pbmus]

There is a jaw-dropping line in Stone indictment folks are missing. It implicates entire conservative media bubble - including Hannity, Tucker, Breitbart, and rest of @FoxNews - as participants/dupes in a fraud directed by people in Stone-Individual 1-Wikileaks conspiracy..

Until today. Now I get it. It was part of the Stone/Wikileaks conspiracy described in the indictment. Watch your emails, Hannity and Tucker. You might want to see if you are implicated....

2. Everyone on DU likes to trash her, but Louise Mensch wrote in her blog long ago that Fox News

is under FBI counterintelligence investigation. This is her blog from July 20, 2017:

https://patribotics.blog/2017/07/20/fox-news-hannity-under-fbi-investigation-fcc-broadcasting-license-under-threat/

"Sources with links to the justice department report that Fox News is under an FBI counterintelligence investigation for co-ordinating with the Kremlin in broadcasting propaganda. While the First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech and journalistic freedom, sources say that signals intelligence gathered from so-called ‘incidental collection,’ such as NSA collection on Sputnik and Russia Today, which is ongoing.

Specifically, Sean Hannity is on signals intelligence co-ordinating his pro-Trump message with organs of the Russian state, such as RT, Sputnik, Wikileaks and Julian Assange. However, emails co-ordinating messaging with registered agents of the Russian state are said to exist from more shows than that of Sean Hannity.

Furthermore, sources familiar with the matter say that the FBI is actively considering a referral to the FCC, in addition to any criminal prosecutions that may result for individuals not registering under FARA for coordinating with official agents of the Russian state.

A great many of Fox News’ employees, anchors and executives have reported fearlessly on Trump and Russia, including Shep Smith. The problems appear to be executive based and systemic, these sources say, and a referral to the FCC is being considered. The First Amendment protects journalistic freedom, but systemic and repeated coordination with official organs of the Russian state is regarded as knowing collaboration with an enemy attack on America. Referral to the FCC is an option under consideration at a corporate level, sources report, and prosecutions for chief malicious actors, in particular Sean Hannity, are probable, these sources say."

9. I for one never trashed her !! I certainly am not one to join in just because everybody else got

on that bandwagon. Never understood the 'she's trolling us' thought process...like what?

[Pepsidog]

12. Mensch has been way ahead of the curve reporting issues like this, Alpha Bank for over a year or

more. I don’t know much about her. Never heard of her until DU but she has a very informative blog.

[triron]

17. Yeah I am well aware. Many of my posts were slammed cause she was the source.

[The_REAL_Ecumenist]

19. I've NEVER listened to people who said that Louise was not a credible source...

Just about EVERYTHING she said turned into reality.. GIRLFRIEND IS ONE KNOWLEDGEABLE GYAL!!!

[blue neen]

3. Aren't Putin and Rupert Murdoch friends?

Yep.

[stuffmatters]

14. Wendi Deng Murdock, Rupert's ex wife & an Ivanka BFF, then became Putin's girlfriend

16. Wendi Deng (Murdock's ex-wife) is/was Putin's GF and Ivanka's BFF

4. I want Hannity locked up just as much as I want tRump led away in cuffs

[MyOwnPeace]

5. Yep!

THAT would be wonderful!

[Fuzzpope]

7. The UK Trump supporter is..

Farrange.

$20 says it is.

[lagomorph777]

11. Frogface is clearly hooked up with Putin and Pres. Turd.

Brexit was a Putin scheme.

[Botany]

8. Could they get Hannity too?

[rurallib]

10. Delicious tidbit you served us there

I am savoring this as fully as I can.

[cstanleytech]

13. Wouldnt evidence that Fox was engaged in a conspiracy to assist a political candidate for office be

a violation of FEC rules as an in kind contribution?

[Miigwech]

15. Hannity is so over cooked at this point, Haaaaa

[world wide wally]

18. Fox should lose their right to broadcast
