Kim Strassel: Fusion GPS Fed an Absurd Story About RUSSIA Infiltrating the NRA to Its Thousand Best Media Friends, And You'll Never Guess What Happened Next...!

Fusion injected another one of its #FakeNews specials into the media -- this one, a tale of Russian infiltration into the NRA. Various useful idiots in the media were duped into running the story, citing "sources," all anonymous.

Except for one.Well this one wasn't a source -- this was someone the anonymous sources had claimed had spoken of the NRA-RUSSIA connection.

Who denied the quote attributed to her, demanded to know to whom and in what context she had supposedly said the quote to.

The reporters couldn't answer her -- but they ran Fusion's nonsense anyway.

[T]he NRA flatly denied the accusation. It explained how it scrupulously monitors its donations and noted that all its political decisions are made by U.S. citizens. It also reported it had had no contact with the FBI. House Intelligence Committee Democrats nonetheless last week issued a document demanding they get to continue investigating the "NRA's relationship" with Mr. Torshin and Ms. Butina as well as . . . Washington lawyer Cleta Mitchell, who hasn’t done legal work for the NRA in a decade.
A few days later, the same two McClatchy reporters were out with this: "NRA lawyer expressed concerns about group's Russia ties, investigators told." It again cited two anonymous sources claiming Congress was investigating Ms. Mitchell's worries that the NRA had been "channeling Russia funds into the 2016 elections to help Donald Trump."
Ms. Mitchell tells me she told McClatchy before publication that this was false, that she has spoken to no one about the NRA’s actions in 2016, and that she believes the entire NRA-Russia story line is preposterous. She asked the reporters to explain to whom she supposedly said this, when and in what context. They couldn't, but ran the story anyway. Ms. Mitchell calls it "the quintessential definition of fake news."

A McClatchy editor explained to Kim Strassel that it doesn't matter if Cleta Mitchell actually ever said this or not; the important thing is their anonymous "sources" say the FBI is looking into her statement, whether she actually made it or not.

Strassel notes:

Fusion GPS did not respond to a request for comment.

When Glenn Simpson has a #FakeNews sneeze, all of his dupes in the media catch a #FakeNews cold.

89 The big lie here, the overall lie, is that elected officials fear the NRA and vote accordingly. They are in fact in fear of their constituents, who are by and large not NRA members and not even aware of its endorsements. They will get rid of politicians who openly try to disarm them.

So lazy. So comfortable with this idea that a tiny group of lobbyists writing checks determines the course of history in this matter. If the NRA disbanded tomorrow it wouldn't change a thing.

The anti-gun propagandizers talk about hating the NRA to conceal the fact that it's you they hate. They're talking about you. They want to get rid of you.

So intent on disarming us. So intent on flooding the country with violent felons who are above the law. They fucking hate us and want to flush our ashes into a storm

184 By the way I just sent a certified letter to one of the FBI offices pointing out specific violations of 18 US Code 241 in the 'gun control' protests. I also sent certified copies of the letter to Trump, Sessions, and Christopher Wray - the FBI director.

I have spent a great deal of time investigating this and checked with my neighbor who ran for judge on the Republican ticket last time. She says my interpretation of that law is spot on.

I have also written an OpEd on the subject which I submitted to the NY Times - with a cover letter in which I attempted to shame them into running it. I don't expect them to do it - but I pointed out that my OpEd will be published somewhere - and that it will not reflect well on the Times when that happens and it is pointed out the Times had first chance at running it. My neighbor loved the OpEd and thanked me for showing it to her. She thought enough of it to suggest some edits, and I mostly agreed with her on those.

186 Here is how the Russians could play this...

Step 1: Have Russian oligarchs/government donate money by proxy to various American organizations, like the NRA, political campaigns, etc. The organizations would have no idea it was from Russia.

Step 2: Leak the information to some idiot group like Fusion. Note: For all we know Fusion is really a Russian front.

Step 3: Fusion passes it on the the American media, certain politicians, and federal law enforcement (FBI). News comes out that Russia is funding the group.

Step 4: Media and Democrats go nuts, and Russian obsessed Republicans push for more investigations. The useful idiots this time are the Russian hawks for giving credence to the lefts claims.

Step 5: Conservatives get angry that our freedoms are under treat from the Dems / GOPe. Which they are, but this time we are being painted as Russian traitors.

Step 6: America becomes more inflamed and divided.

Step 7: Russia laughs, has a glass of vodka, and repeats.

It would be a masterpiece of strategy by the Russians if they used our own obsession with Russia to destroy us internally. A true example of 3d chess. No war, no weapons...brilliant really.

189 Those critics who bothered, or who were given an opportunity to review the latest faith-based movie Paul, Apostle of Christ, dumped all over it at a 75 percent rate; the audience score, however, is a healthy 93 percent approval, according to Rotten Tomatoes. -BB

It's almost as if Hollywood is chock full of Godless fvcktards.

193 Vic, I only recall the illegal health insurance subsidies. Those were challenged legally (IIRC), and successfully so.

Have not read that portion of the bill, but everything I know about the general topic tells me there's not going to be any major re-allocation of funds to undertake a major public works project absent express congressional agreement.

They hate themselves as well. But at least they are "woke" and are aware of their original sin.

196 Obama Administration legalized bump stocks. BAD IDEA. As I promised, today the Department of Justice will issue the rule banning BUMP STOCKS with a mandated comment period. We will BAN all devices that turn legal weapons into illegal machine guns.

I would expect SlideFire to sue and ask what has changed since the ATF logically determined that a stock is not a firearm, much less a machinegun.

The main poster over there, Sundance, is usually pretty careful and accurate. But, once you get into the comments, they are all over the place. The same could be said of many sites, including this one.

Yes, but he continued them anyway, just like he ignored the judge in TX when told he could not bring in those illegals and farm them out. But the last time I remember him channeling funds was the $500M he gave the UN for the phony AGW scam. Congress did not appropriate that money. He took it from other allocations.

The way I see it, there should be a small bucket of rocks at each desk in the classroom. I see no possible downside to giving every child in the classroom their own bucket of rocks.

202 Flawless, because it serves no useful purpose, and only reminds everyone including his supporters that he's down for a limited amnesty.

Anyone who thinks he can troll Dems - esp. the most rabid, for whom DACA and such things are important - is dreaming (no pun intended). The most extreme fringe will pull stunts like chanting in front of Schumer's residence, disrupting meetings - anyway. They don't follow der Trumpentwatter. And rank/file Dems (incl. unsurprisingly their core robot vote, such as black voters) are not in the least all wrapped up in DACA. It's not a grassroots focus.

The only other imaginable purpose, mollifying soft-headed suburban voters, might yield, oh I dunno, a few thousand more votes, nationally. If that. Some lame tweets on this issue will not be a factor in voting by such people.

Overall probably harmless, since no effect on any outcome. But lame.

204 Vic those various misdeeds under Obama may well have occurred, but actually funding and building a major public works project that has not been congressionally blessed is a very different thing.

Abundant promising legal challenge possibilities, just for starters (and based on the unchallenged usurpation of presidential authority on admissions/immigration, and the dominance of the "clerk mentality" among this administration's legal sorts, *this* administration won't be going rogue).

Reckless policies on admitting and distributing illegal immigrants - using existing personnel and funding - and providing grants to international organizations are, administratively, very very different than building the wall.
