The Walls are Closing in on ObamaGate Deniers
I really hate to say this to our friends on the left, “Sorry, you don’t get to be an ObamaGate denier.” And by “ObamaGate,” I’m speaking broadly of the RussiaGate narrative; three years of complicated conspiracy theories, charts and graphs connecting Trump officials with “Russians.” (Imagine, for a moment, exchanging that term with, “Jews,” or “Mexicans!” But that’s another topic in regressive behavior.)
Let me be brief. The main reason you don’t get to be an ObamaGate denier, is because the chief critics of the Obama administration’s Russia Hoax are the best and brightest journalists on the left. You need not even check in with Sean Hannity. The following are recent posts by Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone among others. Are these all Putin puppets too?
Great job by @ggreenwald on #systemupdate on the Flynn case - among other things, he goes into detail about the illegality of leaks to the Washington Post, why they were so unusual: https://t.co/xIP8msGzO6

Aaron Mate @aaronjmate talks to me & @mtaibbi about recently released transcripts which reveal that the House Intelligence Committee was told in 2017 that there was no concrete evidence that Russia hacked the DNC server.

If you mean “probable cause,” we now know that they didn’t have it with Carter Page, concluded early that evidence “didn’t particularly indicate” George Papadapoulos was communicating with Russians, and were about to close the case against Flynn before interviewing him. https://t.co/QM2uDZcqAu

Glenn Greenwald does a great job pointing out that when liberals embrace RussiaGate, they end up embracing obvious warmongers.
A news anchor who got demoted for fabricating war stories interviewing a former CIA Director and paid network news "analyst" who got caught lying about drone strikes and spying on the Senate.

Impressive.
Why does nobody trust the media??!? A huge mystery: https://t.co/yDcreB4CHR
This independent news program is the future of media reporting on multiple points of view. #rising https://t.co/hFIrd21lue via @YouTube

The establishment left should do themselves a favor and put this hoax to rest by acknowledging their complicity in spreading it. As Senator Bernie Sanders pointed out shortly after President Trump was elected. This is a loose quote. ‘The average American doesn’t wake up in the morning worrying about Putin.’ The conspiracy theory was already in bloom during Hillary’s campaign. Are you really going to try to run on this nonsense again?
