Congressional Republicans Blast Media For Misleading Americans Over ‘Russiagate’

Congressional Republicans and experts criticized the mainstream media for peddling in unison the “Russiagate” scandal — that turned out to be a campaign hoax — for years, resulting in the American people being misled for a long period of time.

“We’ve got alternate media, but still the bulk of our media [is] basically the communication arm of the Democrat Party, which is radical leftists,” Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., said during a special report titled “Weaponization and the Grand Conspiracy” aired on Real America’s Voice and hosted by Just the News. “So the American people aren’t hearing this.”

Tulsi Gabbard lights the fuse
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard earlier this month issued a press release stating that her office had “revealed overwhelming evidence that demonstrates how, after President Donald Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, President Barack Obama and his national security cabinet members manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump.”

The record — bolstered by newly-declassified documents — shows that Obama was a central figure at key points throughout the Russiagate saga. Documents show Obama was personally briefed on the “Clinton Plan intelligence” in which Clinton sought to falsely link Trump to Russia, likely to distract from her own classified email server scandal.

Despite knowing the underlying basis was weak or untrustworthy at best, the FBI launched “Crossfire Hurricane” later in July 2016 anyway.
