Donald Trump Jr.'s Russia email scandal shakes the presidency, v4: Cover of TIME

[klnOmega]

Okay, can you give me examples of those that have been proven to be incorrect? The closest thing I can think of is when Comey testified that the NYT story got most of the details wrong, but even then... a) that's not proof, and b) several months later, the NYT's version of events seems to be proven much more truthful than the Trump administrations.

You don't take the FBI director testifying under oath that the NYT got most of the details wrong as proof? I thought we were all in agreement that Comey's word is god.

Take this one off the top of my head:

Watching Shep Smith a bit ago saying they can confirm there was an 8th person in the meeting but not sure who.



Found small clip from today.

And here is a CNN "correction"

Ew, I stopped reading Time magazine a few months ago. Appears I haven't missed anything. Journalists are corrupt scum.

That's one of the most mindless things I've ever heard anyone say.
It's absurd and indefensible on its face.

Much like a story about a meeting with forgettable Russians

 

[D3thr0n3d K1ng]

Seems like Trumps son had half of Russian intelligence at that meeting.

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

Whats sad is 30% of the Republican party would sooner deal with Russians then the Democratic Party.

If you'd rather support Russian interests over US interests, you're part of the problem and irretrievably stupid.

First one was someone apologizing for an inaccurate tweet. Sounds like he carries himself to a high standard of journalism considering it was a tweet.

What's inaccurate about the second one?

It sure seems like a perfect opportunity for some shenanigans.
It wouldn't require a Russian version of a 007 or anything.

WaPo rated the second story 4 Pinocchios.

And you ignored the Reuters story, where they said Trump was the hotel while this $60,000 dinner was going on, because they can't get their dates right.

We have what looks like a criminal conspiracy. Whether the courts come down that way we'll have to wait and see but there's enough to prosecute.

Trump junior is basically the kid taking notes in this clip:

Blah blah blah I have heard CNN say the same thing about every story that came out ever since Trump has been elected Donald jr. Did nothing wrong and was allowed to meet with whoever he wanted to I don't understand what part of that you guys don't understand.

CNN said Comey was going to dispute Trump's claim that Comey assured him he was not under investigation.

Then Comey said he did assure Trump that he wasn't under a counterintelligence inveatigation, but didn't specify a criminal investigation.

CNN corrected its article.

What would you have wanted CNN to do differently?

Missed the reuters story, using my phone, looking at it now

 

[NC252]

So are we gonna all agree that Russia ISN'T our friend after all?

does anybody really care about Russia. Do you think any country whose affairs we constantly meddle in (Israel's last election is one that comes to mind) is sitting around obsessing about us? The left is so far in the weeds that they don't even realize it. Even Dershowitz agrees. This is all a bunch of nonsense. I can't wait for 2018.

Not get the article wrong to begin with.

WaPo story: they mis-stated the extent of the hacking and corrected their stories.

I will look for your other responses before i share my thoughts. Do you have a link to wapo attacking the CNN story?

 

[Deleted member 429137]

Not get the article wrong to begin with.

Seeing what the right wing media feeds it's listeners and seeing what Trump feeds it's followers, it's really hard for me to see your viewpoint that the MSM is complete scum turning out fake news to destroy America.

I might agree on the healthcare pre-existing thing when i read more about it, but right now it looks like you're taking some extremely small unavoidable errors and catastrophizing them.

Will continue my thoughts after i look for new responses from you

Shep and Chris have had enough

In a few weeks, the wishful thinking that this will lead to some kind of impeachment will subside. When that happens, the people in this thread who were downright giddy at the prospect of imminent impeachment, will return to their tired old "We'll have to see how the rest of this investigation goes." when yet another one of their panning expeditions turns up Fool's Gold.

To those who think impeachment is likely, the whole of your efforts and the narrative you're trying to put forward will be summed up like this in due time:

"It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
- Macbeth by William Shakespeare

P.S.

I'm still voting for Trump in 2020.

Ew, I stopped reading Time magazine a few months ago. Appears I haven't missed anything. Journalists are corrupt scum.

And who told you that in the first place? Right, amateur journalists on youtube who are competing with the 'corrupt scum' journalists working at actual, fact checking printed news outlets. But I'm sure there's no ulterior motive here.
