Seymour Hersch confirms Russian Collusion Narrative Fabricated by Obama Administration

Didn't see a thread on this, unsurprisingly since this board is 90% liberal never-trumpers.

Distinguished liberal journalist Seymour Hersh, who broke the My Lai Massacre and Abu Ghraib stories, has unwittingly confirmed that the Russian collusion narrative is bullshit. Something anyone without a deep hatred for Trump already knew.

As expected, there is a complete MSM blackout of this story.

SEYMOUR HERSH: SPY CHIEFS INVENTED RUSSIA-COLLUSION STORY
Famous journalist claims they lied to Obama and lied about Trump

WASHINGTON – The entire Russia collusion story was a fiction made up by intelligence chiefs who lied about President Trump, and lied to President Obama and the media, according to a person on a just-released audio recording who is almost certainly legendary Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh.

Further, the person who recorded the audio is almost certainly financier Ed Butowsky, who hired private investigator Rod Wheeler to investigate the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich last July.

Wheeler filed a defamation lawsuit against Butowsky and Fox News on Tuesday over a story the network retracted about the investigation.

The text of Wheeler’s lawsuit described a conversation between Hersh and Butowsky in which the reporter said: “I have somebody on the inside who will go and read a file for me. And I know this person is unbelievably accurate and careful. He’s a very high level guy.”

Those identical words appear on the audio recording, apparently verifying they were spoken by Hersh and taped by Butowsky. Judging by a report in the
Washington Post, the conversation happened during, or before, February.

The audio was first posted late Tuesday afternoon on a site called Big League Politics then went viral after it was linked on Twitter by WikiLeaks.

Hersh, himself, acknowledged speaking with Butkowsy, during an NPR interview Monday in which he referred to the Seth Rich angle as gossip and said Butowsky “took two and two and made 45 out of it.”

But Hersh did not disavow what he said about the Russia collusion narrative.

On the recording, Hersh said his information came from a source “on the inside,” a “very high level guy” who is “unbelievably accurate and careful.”

The reporter called the entire story that the Trump presidential campaign and transition team colluded with Russia “a Brennan operation.”

Hersh accused former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and current NSA Director Michael Rogers of peddling “disinformation” and misleading Obama and the press.

And he added, “Trump’s not wrong to think they all f—ing lied about him.”

Hersh suggested Rogers falsely told the press that American intelligence agencies even knew who in the Russian military intelligence service “leaked it,” in apparent reference to the hacked Democratic emails that embarrassed the Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign.

He also dismissively called Brennan an “a—hole,” Rogers a “f—ing moron” and Clapper “sort of a better guy but not a rocket scientist.”

Hersh ascribed a simple motive to the subterfuge by the top spies: They wanted to keep their jobs by assuring Clinton won the presidential election.

“With Trump they’re gone. You know, they’re done – they’re going to live on their pensions, they’re not going to make it.”

Hersh also explained why the story came to dominate the news cycle, portraying his colleagues in the establishment media as, essentially, too gullible.

“I worked at the New York Times for years and they have smart guys but they are totally beholden on sources. If the president or the head of the (unintelligible) tells them something they actually believe it,” he said.

And, speaking of those highly placed sources, he said, “These guys run the f—ing Times.”

Hersh won the Pulitzer Prize in 1970 for exposing the My Lai massacre and has since gone on to become one of the nation’s best-known and most-accomplished investigative reporters.

According to his biography in the New Yorker, in addition to his Pulitzer, his journalism and publishing awards include five George Polk Awards, two National Magazine Awards, and more than a dozen other prizes for investigative reporting.

 

That is an old thread and pertains to the investigation and not specifically to this recorded conversation. I'm sure you would love to see anything that goes against your anti-trump bias be completely buried. This is a new news event and deserves its own thread.

Using your narrow criteria then, all anti-trump news stories should be gathered in a single thread as well instead of several threads over multiple pages like they are now.

 

You people are incredible. Only accepting of anything that fits your desired narrative. Anything else, like the Project Veritas videos, gets instantly ridiculed and dismissed. No matter the verifiable content or players. Eventually, the truth will blow up to a point to where MSM cannot ignore or spin it, and you're all going to look either very corrupt or very foolish.
