"Ladies and Gentlemen, We Got Him!"

[The Big Dog]

I assure you, it was a question I actually want an answer to.

No you did not, because you would not have asked a loaded question, fallacious question.

You want the benefit of my wisdom? Ask a proper question.

 

[Brainster]

Hmmm, you think that Mueller being forced to release a statement tonight contradicting the buzzfeed report is going to trash them?

I am skeptical. Walk us through that...

The liberals (both here and elsewhere) sure never seem to learn, do they? I mean, Jason Leopold, whose previous big "scoop" was that Karl Rove had been indicted?

Note that article, from 2006, was already referring to Leopold as a serial fabulist.

 

[jeremyp]

As one who shares your intrest in epistomology, I'd like to see the answer too.

The answer is obvious. It's because Mueller said something TBD wanted to hear.

 

[MRC_Hans]

So, you are saying DO NOT TRUST MUELLER?

Huh, ok. Won’t trust Mueller.

Well argued folks! So that makes buzzfeed’s unsupported article bull ****, and we should not trust mueller.

Great arguments!

Well, good try, but when it comes to sarcasm you won't even get near to theprestige.

OK, that got closer, but .... still a long way to go.

Quick question

Is anyone arguing for an alternative source of the leaks that isn't the NY State attorney office?

Could it be Manhattan-based feds - SDNY?

 

[BobTheCoward]

Could it be Manhattan-based feds - SDNY?

Both have leaky reputations, right?

 

[Venom]

Hey what’s going on in this thread?

Mueller says that the Cohen story is ********.

Ohhhh, that is going to leave a mark.

Elmer Fudd voice: ladies and gentlemen, we got him!
Pulls up fake bugs bunny made out of TNT...

Narrator: they did not have him.

laughed a little longer than I should have

Is that all you got? An erroneous article from the Valerie Plame outing more than a decade ago that you call his biggest scoop?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Leopold

Leopold has written stories on BP, Enron, the California Energy Crisis, the Bush administration's torture policies, and the Plame affair. His pieces have been published in The Guardian,[7] Asia Times,[8] the Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, CBS MarketWatch,[9][10][11] The Nation, and Utne Reader. He has also written about foreign and domestic policy online for publications such as The Guardian,[7] Alternet, CounterPunch, Common Dreams, The Huffington Post, Political Affairs Magazine, The Raw Story, Scoop, ZNet and others....

Awards and achievements
Leopold is an Emmy nominated producer, the recipient of the FOI Award from Investigative Reporters and Editors and a member of the team awarded the Tom Renner Award in 2018 from Investigative Reporters and Editors, and a member of the team named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in international reporting http://www.pulitzer.org/finalists/staff-buzzfeed-news. Leopold was inducted into the National Freedom of Information Hall of Fame by the Newseum Institute in 2016.

His stories have appeared three times on Project Censored's top-25 under-reported stories of the year: once in 2004, for a story he wrote about an alleged secret meeting Arnold Schwarzenegger had with Ken Lay prior to the film star's being elected Governor of California,[44] for a story he wrote on Halliburton in 2005,[45] and again in 2011 for a story he wrote on a controversial "spiritual fitness test" the Army required all of its enlisted soldiers.[46]

In 2008, Leopold received the Thomas Jefferson Award from the Military Religious Freedom Foundation.[47]

Your post is akin to people ragging on the Mueller investigation because of Strozk and Page's text exchanges.

You have Fox news writing false news reports on a daily basis. Let's see Hannity or Leopold, whose news should we trust more?

LOL! He's been published in the Utne Reader? Jeez, I'm impressed. The guy is famous for exactly two stories, the Rove one and this, and both of them proved to be wrong.

Your post is akin to people ragging on the Mueller investigation because of Strozk and Page's text exchanges.

If Strozk and Page are the source of major allegations relevant to the Mueller investigation, I can see the relevance of your comment. The point is that Leopold has been caught on numerous occasions just making things up. The article that I linked to (on that well-known mostly liberal website the Columbia Journalism Review), noted:

Leopold, you may recall, is the freelance reporter who was caught making stuff up in a 2002 Salon.com article, self-admittedly “getting it completely wrong” in pieces for Dow Jones, and had his own memoir cancelled because of concerns over the accuracy of quotations.

You have Fox news writing false news reports on a daily basis. Let's see Hannity or Leopold, whose news should we trust more?

How about neither? I know, that's a mind-boggling concept, but it's certainly my stance.

Passing peak Trump?

Yep.

Trump loses support among his core voting groups

White evangelicals’ support for Trump, for instance, plunged a net 13 percentage points in the NPR poll, sinking to 66-23 percent approval from 73-17 percent in the December poll. Trump also lost support from noncollege-educated white men, with his approval falling to 50 percent from 56 percent and his disapproval ticking up 1 point to 35 percent.

Cracks even appeared in Trump’s seemingly impenetrable facade of overall Republican support: 83 percent of Republican respondents said they support the president in the most recent poll — down 7 points from the early December poll — while his disapproval in the party rose 3 points...

As the 2020 campaign heats up, NPR’s poll shows that just 30 percent of national registered voters say they will “definitely” vote for Trump. Nearly twice as many — 57 percent — say they will “definitely vote against him.”

Just FYI, some of us are way to the left of "liberal".

Sorry, not impressed with your response Zig.

Lol, one day you'll be right it's just not today

So, you are saying DO NOT TRUST MUELLER?

Rule of So.

 

[CaptainHowdy]

I'll believe we got him when I hear on the news that he's in custody. Heh.

I'll believe we got him when I hear about some legitimate evidence of impropriety.

 

[Mike!]

I thought this whole thing died out when it became a joke on Weekend Update.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

I'll believe we got him when I hear about some legitimate evidence of impropriety.

Perhaps you should take your ear plugs out.

Or maybe read up on the laws he has broken, they are cited in one of these threads.

It's not a credible assertion that Trump has broken no laws just because he hasn't been charged yet. In fact that's laughable.

New Yorker interview with Rudy Giuliani

But I can tell you, from the moment I read the story, I knew the story was false.

Because?

Because I have been through all the tapes, I have been through all the texts, I have been through all the e-mails, and I knew none existed. And then, basically, when the special counsel said that, just in case there are any others I might not know about, they probably went through others and found the same thing.

Wait, what tapes have you gone through?

I shouldn’t have said tapes. They alleged there were texts and e-mails that corroborated that Cohen was saying the President told him to lie. There were no texts, there were no e-mails, and the President never told him to lie.

So, there were no tapes you listened to, though?

No tapes. Well, I have listened to tapes, but none of them concern this.

This guy's not getting paid for this, I hope?

Or well, he's working for Trump so of course he's not going to get paid in the end; but I mean, in theory at least?
