The media was trying SO HARD during Barr’s testimony on Wednesday to somehow catch him in a lie or … wait for it … covering for Trump.
Like for example this tidbit from Natasha Bertrand claiming an NBC story contradicted Barr saying the Trump campaign had not been warned that Russia intended to ‘infiltrate’ his campaign.
Barr just said that the FBI did not give a defensive briefing to the Trump campaign warning that the Russians would try to infiltrate it in 2016.
…but they did, according to NBC. https://t.co/6KPkKeN8jk— Natasha Bertrand (@NatashaBertrand) May 1, 2019
Except, as usual, this was not the case.
This December 2017 story was not only based *entirely* on anonymous leakers using the willful media to perpetuate the Russia collusion hoax but written by Ken "Fusion GPS" Dilanian soooooo https://t.co/jVyppm3nGL

Based entirely on anonymous leakers.
Shocker.
We see a lot of that from our friends in traditional media.
Mollie Hemingway shredded the NBC piece as only she can …
UPDATE: FBI did NOT notify Trump campaign that campaign members were counterintel concerns. Lynch, Comey, and McCabe thought about it but didn't do it. Later general counterintel briefing did NOT mention FBI’s suspicions about Flynn, Manafort, Page, or Papadopoulos. pic.twitter.com/AuIWufSckx

Wait, the House Intel Report contradicts those magical anonymous leakers? SAY IT AIN’T SO!

And at the end of the day, all that really mattered to the media (and all that still matters to them) is somehow getting rid of Trump.

Incredible. As if NBC is an authority and the AG isn’t on matters regarding the DOJ

Always interesting when there's a collision between an actual journalist and one of the Democrat operatives working as a journalist.

Barr did clarify after the break there was a general security briefing done in August. But not the sort of briefing you'd normally do when you found out about specific targeted threats. https://t.co/APZqyeZBqf

Fair enough.
We should all believe the liars and fakers of NBC over the proven truthful AG Barr…NOT!!!
