On Friday, former Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook testified under oath that Hillary Clinton personally approved the dissemination of the fake Trump-Russia bank allegations to the media. A search of the New York Times and the Washington Post for news about Mook came up empty, but we’ve got to give them credit where it’s due: CNN actually covered the story.
As we reported, Elon Musk said he was “blown away” by the news, and he’d only heard about the Michael Sussman trial last month. Glenn Greenwald is also blown away by the fact that all the reporters who pushed the hoax on behalf of the Clinton campaign have been promoted. We certainly haven’t heard any apologies or retractions.
Good morning. The Clinton campaign fabricated a completely false story about Trump having a secret server with a Russian bank. The 2 servile partisan "reporters" who most pushed it — @FranklinFoer and @NatashaBertrand — have been repeatedly promoted.https://t.co/lUlbHEOGPw

This has long been known but the proof is emerging now because Hillary's lawyer is on trial for lying to FBI – ie, they not only planted this disinformation with the press but also with FBI. Hillary's campaign manager, Robby Mook, says Hillary personally approved the press leak.

That’s kind of big news.
To see who the real liars are – who the actual disinformation agents are – watch @chrislhayes nod his DNC head as the two lying reporters who spread the story and got rewarded — Bertrand and Foer — pronounce that this Trump/Alfa fraud has been proven:https://t.co/0ySoHm7kpB

Hillary's campaign not only used the media and FBI to spread this lie (FBI investigated and quickly determined it was bullshit), but Hillary herself used Twitter to spread this disinformation in a viral tweet which (of course) remains up with no label:https://t.co/n8CZ5FOUKN

The prosecution even used Clinton’s tweet as evidence in the trial. And Clinton 100 percent knew the story was bogus when she tweeted that press release.
Look at these 3 lying DNC disinformation agents masquerading as journalists, all smirking as they deliberately pronounce an absolute lie invented by the Clinton campaign is "very, very obviously" true.
These same people, of course, endorsed the CIA lie about the Biden laptop: pic.twitter.com/8xvbdIKnK0

As we demonstrated in the "Typhoid Mary of Disinformation" video we produced this week, the cable host at the heart of every DNC/CIA lie is @NicolleDWallace. But the "journalist" most used to launder them is @NatashaBertrand. She originates every lie: https://t.co/4hGY7nFhhL

Since 2016, nobody has been more rewarded for eagerly serving as a vector of CIA/DNC disinformation than Bertrand. She started at @BusinessInsider (where she pushed Alfa Bank), then promoted to @MSNBC, then to @TheAtlantic, then @politico, now at @CNN.

And they always end up somewhere else no matter what they do. Look at Taylor Lorenz and Maggie Haberman, for example.
Maybe it's naiveté, but I just can't believe that the media outlets that spread all these lies — especially the CIA lie about Hunter Biden's laptop being "Russian disinformation," which even NYT/WP/NBC now say is false — just refuse to acknowledge this let alone retract it. pic.twitter.com/qMYlDcz0jm

As bad and corrupted as large media corporations have been, they always knew they had to at least acknowledge and account for their huge errors and falsehoods. The NYT published a lengthy Editors' Note explaining what happened with their WMD lies. https://t.co/6Meqfn8G5V

But now, when major news outlets spread outright lies — not just one day, but repeatedly affirming them — they just stay silent and pretend it never happened when the proof emerges they lied.
*Not one* outlet that endorsed this pre-election CIA lie has acknowledged this proof. pic.twitter.com/fueyZqMI70

Nope … they just keep on “reporting” what they’re told to report. Again, kudos to CNN for actually covering the Hillary Clinton bombshell. Can you believe these clowns put us through years of reporting on “collusion” between Donald Trump and Russia? And won awards for it? But Tucker Carlson’s the one that needs to face consequences.
