Republicans Get Busted Trying to Take Down Hillary Clinton with Pure Lies-HRC ROOM



HILLARY CLINTON ROOM

Sarah Jones

he press hasn’t learned yet, apparently. On Monday July 6th, Democrats busted Republicans for leaking yet another fake Benghazi email story to the press. They titled their press release, “Politico Ran Bogus Leak in Front-Page Story.”

Representative Elijah E. Cummings, Ranking Member of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, sent a letter to Chairman Trey Gowdy warning, “it now appears that someone who was given access to the Select Committee’s documents leaked doctored information to the press in order to make unsubstantiated allegations against Secretary Clinton.”

Oh, gee. This is so new, how could anyone in the press have known to be on the look out for total fabrications based on emails they were not allowed to see but had to take the word of a Republican on? I mean, it only happened in a huge scandal revealed on May 14, 2013 when CNN’s Jake Tapper discovered that the Benghazi emails reported by ABC’s Jonathan Karl had been edited to make Obama look bad. Karl had written that these emails had been reviewed by ABC. But it turns out that wasn’t true. The emails were basically looked at by a Republican who handed their notes to Karl, who reported them as if he had read them himself.

This article just pisses me off but of course doesn't surprise me.
This is the way Organized Crime functions afterall.

Who is the godfather of this crime family?
I ask because they've been operating as a political party for a very long time.
Thanks Politico for exposing your shoddy reputation.

And big thanks to Politicus, for exposing the truth.

Getting eyeballs on themselves...the prime directive...facts get in the way.

And so many on the LW see to have taken the bait in their haste for revolution.

see becoming new talking points here and they run them over and over, cognitive dissonance overtakes sanity and the ability to know the truth and clear up the lies. It is FOX at its best. Thank goodness there are sources which debunk the lies and produce the truth.
