Author and journalist Lee Smith pens a seminal outline showcasing the media’s role in creating the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory:
“A comparison of the media’s role in the two biggest political scandals of the past half-century is worth the time of anyone who cares about what the next decade or so of American public life is going to look and sound like.”….

After the fact. And no one held accountable.
MSM won for their paymasters.
Sort of like castrating a eunuch….
Mission accomplished and no one helped Trump.
Including most of his own political party.
Yep, kind of sad, reminds me of a old movie about a town called Lago.
“Welcome to hell”
It’s We the People who need to help Trump
MSM Lost.
Trump outwitted and out-smarted these dunces and got elected in 2016.
Trump as always playing 22D Chess compared to the idiots in the Media and Establishment.
This is what I heard anyhow.
My chuckle for the day. DC Swamp harassed Trump for four years and stole the election. In the end THEY won, destroyed our economy, nulled our voice, confiscated our work and violated our worship.
Assisted by the GOP- Grand Old Poseurs
Grand Old P0$eurs : GRATE Reframe of today !
Yeah, the Chess Game… I still hear echoes of it’s tick tock. I can’t believe people fell for it.
Reality bites. They are still lying and getting away with everything they proposed, even the most absurd things, that we thought never was going to happen.
IDK, On all accounts I agree with your assessment. However, SD is posting this and knows more than anyone; EXCEPT maybe Lee Smith. Still I agree not sure how justice ever sees the light of day over this now. Best to manage expectations I suppose.
“manage your expectations”
That’s the Biden Regime slogan
The Media is such a good lap dog for the FBI which is itself such a good lap dog for the democrat party.
Wonder what the media will do if/when the shooting starts and no politician offers to protect them.
Bust out the silly string. Shooting is too good for them.
Almost lost me right here..
“Whether Hillary Clinton was aware of the crimes committed between 2016 and 2020 to further her political ambitions is a question that may never be answered. ” ????????
Trump sent her to the dustbin of history.
Hillary Clinton may just be our President as early as 2023. Why do you think all the rumors are flying about Kamala. What if Kamala gets forced by JoeBama to resign? Then JoeBama can select his new Vice President. What id JoeBama can’t make it through his first term but manages to make it more than half of the way threw it? Then Cankles becomes the President and can run fro two more full terms. What if they steal the 2024 and 2028 elections? Then we have 12 more years of the JoeBama plan to “transform this Country.”
Why would any of this be unlikely, based on what we have seen over the last 15 years? By 2032, the USA would be a small part of the Globalist dream. Of course the planet will also have about 6 billion fewer people on it. Don’t get me started on those Mars bound bastards.
No one can FORCE Kamala Harris to resign.
She can be made an offer she can’t refuse…………..
Nominate to the Supreme Court, a promotion not a resignation. Then place MO or HC as VP.
Lol….lol….lol…lol..
Possible, but there’s still that friction between the O’Bungle team and the Clinton Crime Syndicate. O’Bungle’s team is still in control while he’s pulling Brandon’s puppet strings, and would continue to do so with Kamala, if not more so. She requires even more “adult supervision”. Not likely he would give up the power, relinquishing it to someone he has little, if any control over. Post a sentry on Nantucket to record the who’s who coming and going to O’Bungle’s summer house to get a read on who might be the next chosen one to dance under the marionette strings.
True dat. Just as BO said he wanted to serve a “third term” as the guy behind the earpiece for a “stand-in” (all pretty specific) one month before the inauguration…just as they like to telegraph beforehand, as a tease, what they have planned (Podesta’s bragging about the “wargaming”)…and just as BO loves to show his scorn for the Constitution and those who love it (“I’ve got a pen and a phone…”)…
It looks very much like the “16-year plan” we see all over the net is maybe 3/4 complete and rapidly falling into place. Although he certainly is not the mastermind, he holds a very special place in the global hierarchy and in return for all he has done and continues to do, would it be surprising if elections were suspended (just for two weeks to flatten the curveh) and then through a little manipulation, BO ended up — outfront or behind the scenes– with the title dictator- for- life?
Anyway, I’m sure he dreams about it every night, just as he dreamed about skirting the Constitution and getting a third term — and then did it.
Not really. She’s still around. Her emails still missing. She never answered for her role in Benghazi….
The only people who suffered were those on Candidate Trump’s side, even for things that had nothing to do with the campaign:
George Papadopoulos, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, Michael Cohen.
Hillary Clinton saw nothing, she heard nothing, she knew nothing. She was not there. She did’t even get up any morning those entire 4 years.
The Clinton/Democrat Playbook: Deny,Delay,Discredit,Destroy!
Colkitto: i.e., communism.
And now she’s an old bitter hag
Always was and possessed by satan
We can only hope she is.
“Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”
She’s been an old bitter hag ever since they had to off Vince Foster, who by the way was one of the few males that actually sniffed around on the Evil Hag
but she traveled more miles to more countries around the world then any other Secretary of State in history.
That was the number one accomplishment her 2016 campaign highlighted.
She stole more money from the U.S. State Department than any other Secretary of State in history.
For the sole purpose of filling the Clinton Foundation coffers.
Miserable, insufferable c word here.
Thank you for not using it. Our public spaces are becoming so filthy (and a big thanks to Chelsea Handler for bringing that and, oddly enough, “feckless” into common use now.)
She was baking cookies.
…and standing by her man.
Less than a month from 2022, so What difference does it make!
Well, there was that time when she declared if Trump wins , we all hang. I guess that at least counts for a guilty conscience.
She thought there was still a functioning DOJ 😂😂😂
Talking about the media – BBB is set to give millions of dollars to media companies such as Gannett which publishes my local Democommunist rag, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. So what do you think the editorial line will be about passing BBB ? Well, they would probably be in favor even without the money, being the good little Democommies thay are, but it is a conflict of interest. Maybe they will just figure the money is a reward for their loyal propaganda, activism and truth suppression over the last few years regarding Russiagate and other narratives.
“Who controls the media, and money creation, controls Democracy”
^^^THIS^^^
Most know, but are afraid to answer. Meanwhile, the leeches continue and will as long as fear rules
Let us not forget, this stuff also conjured up to insulate Comey,Rosenstien, Clinton from other crimes including U1.
Apparently it’s not a crime to investigate a President for doing his job.
Democracy
When President Trump failed to lock her up, his re-election defeat was assured.
Remember, this woman was the principal source of Richard Nixon’s fabricated impeachment proceedings and the primary agent of the Steele dossier.
She is Joe Biden’s most likely successor.
Donald Trump has to bring all his assets to bear against the Hildabeast if we are to have any hope of remaining a free people.
The writer seems to give Hillary a pass.
“Weather Hillary was aware of the crimes committed between 2016 and 2020 to further her political ambitions, is a question that may never be answered”.
And of course Buraq is still untouchable for some reason. He had no idea what was going on. Lol
Maybe reporter number 2 or 3 will get a slap on the hand.
I don’t think Lee Smith is not giving Hillary a pass. He just can’t state what can’t be proved.
We (and he) know she was involved, but there’s no solid proof of it.
State Controlled Media.
In the Soviet Union, the state controlled the media. In the United Soviet States of America, the media controls the state.
Yes, that’s how I see it.
It just looks that way from the outside. The same people who actually run America also run the news media. The Deep State years ago decided they must own the Fourth Estate as leverage and have thoroughly co-opted it as the Internet destroyed the traditional revenue model for most reporting.
It’s also why the Deep State made quick moves to shut down free speech on all social media once Trump won the presidency. Free social media platforms proved uncontrollable to the Establishment, so they got rid of uncensored speech after the 2016 election.
was thinking that….their people are salted throughout all the institutions AND that state — the media, the FBI, the military, the DOJ, the state dept, the corporations… they have their people everywhere. It’s not even that one group controls the other; it’s that they’re the same — all people working for the globalist cause, the banking/ruling class leaders at the top, right?
Anyone that steps out of line is severely punished, so it’s de facto control even if there isn’t one single group managing everything.
The globalists learned the benefits of compartmentalizing the various sectors and factions decades ago. Picked it up from intelligence operations.
The current ongoing operation, as I believe Sundance has said, is to clean the remnants of the Clinton wing out of power and influence. Call it a ‘loose cannons’ claim. It’s not the Battleship that was at fault, just a few cannons that broke loose in side it. Pay no attention to the Captain’s orders worded so that deniability could be claimed, or the other cannons that blazed away at the good ship Trump until it sank. It was always those loose cannons!
Like how the Bolsheviks cleared out the Menshaviks or jacobins getting rid of the Girondins.
The MSM is as culpable as any swamp rat in converting our once great constitutional republic into a sordid and uttelry corrupt Demonocracy.
“Later that month, The Washington Post did its own hit piece on Millian (which has since been extensively altered), written by Rosalind Helderman and Tom Hamburger, the latter a former Journal reporter who’d also co-written reports with Simpson in the early 2000s. In their book explaining how they set Russiagate in motion, Simpson and Fritsch talk about meeting with Hamburger on the sidelines of the 2016 convention to whet his appetite for their collusion research. Hamburger and Helderman were part of the Post’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Russia reporting team.”
This is the problem; the grenade lobbing can do its immediate damage as as the basis for all sorts of investigations and weaponization of institutions, then practically out of sight, tweaks can be made after to insert facts that had been conspicuously absent from the original “bombshell“ story.
This is all part of the fed-centric news flush from dc.
It is like the merry-go-round……. it generates a lot of noise …. (music and screaming)……. plenty of movement ….(up and down, round and round) …..
But in the end you get off at the same place you got on and you had to pay the price of admission (loss of your freedom).
In 2021, MAGA needs to stay focused on the local / state entities to overturn the 2020 fraudulent elections and return President Trump to the White House which he won, hugely, in the 2020 presidential election.
MAGA isn’t just our motto, it is our duty.
Stay focused and never, never, never give up.
Don’t bother the propagandists with such annoying details as facts … they just get in the way of a good story (as in fiction).

This article is an outstanding overview of how sick DC has become.
We’ve permanently lost our country in good measure due to these media jackwagons but still a great article by Lee Smith. I wonder if Millian can take any action ? The good guys seem to have little financing and legal power.

From watergate through Carter 1980 election to Russia Gate and all points in between.
How is it that not a single journalist has done a story on his career since his role was revealed years ago is shocking.

Mr. Lee Smith’s comprehensive article does an excellent job- in both highlighting and breaking down- the shroud of circular justifications and plausible deniability that these covert ‘journalists’ operate behind…
The jig is up.
The legacy media has been bastardized-for political gain- to a point where it simply cannot survive by continuing to rest upon historical pillars of integrity & impartiality which they themselves have demolished…
When President Trump talked about destroying the “fake news”, he WAS NOT kidding. This is an integral part of saving our Republic!!!
Thank you, Lee Smith.
Thank you, Sundance.
Journalists with any shred of repentance & decency left in their souls will follow your lead of reporting with righteous honesty, into the future. Because, that’s the only future We The People shall allow them…
Godspeed, Patriots!!!
At the tail end of the recent Stew Peters show with the interview of Mark Meadows, Part 2, there is an interview with a young attorney who told quite a tale of the crooked state of Delaware and what he is doing to restore some sense of law and order there. In this interview he talks about a certain case called Page v. Oath, Inc., where the crooked Judge kicked Lin Wood off the case because of the Judge’s bias against Lin.
Page is Carter Page and Oath is the owner of Huffington Post and Yahoo. This suit is about how the press and the FBI and the DOJ blatantly used Carter Page to spy on the TRUMP team. Sadly after Lin’s removal Page lost the case. The remaining attorneys on his team apparently didn’t even submit the proper items or case to try to win. They should be disbarred, or at the very least looked into for their throwing the case in my opinion.
Reading through the Judge’s decision will make you sick to your stomach if you know all the machinations behind the scenes of this story.
I don’t know if Page can refile based on the now known and published facts, most of which have been known to us here for some time, but I wish he could find a way to do so.

Companies are headquartered in Delaware because the state has very favorable laws for corporations, and because their state court system is favorable to them as well. Delaware keeps it that way by controlling who is allowed to practice law in the state. Brooks Witzke is our producer Lauren’s brother. He recently graduated near the top of his class at Concordia law, but has been kept off the state bar by these powerful forces. Now, he’s filed a lawsuit to force these laws to be overturned, and if successful it won’t just matter for him.
He joins us.
What is a Limited Hangout?
https://en-academic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/3065176
I find it amazing how so many can extrapolate a handful of charges of lying to the FBI into a takedown of the entire Russiagate Conspiracy.
To date, what’s his name, the one that came after the useless Huber, has rambled on in ‘speaking indictments’, but has he alleged any crime other than lying to the FBI?
You need a crime to take conspiracies down using RICO.
And isn’t it odd that what’s his name, and the entire press corp, leave the Cohen went to Prague lies out of their ramblings? How could Steele, or Danschenko, or any of Hillary’s stooges know that a Michael Cohen had traveled to Prague to craft their lies against Trump? All while completely missing that The Michael Cohen had traveled to California at that very time and had never been to Prague?
If it weren’t for Sundance ramming that point home over the years, I would completely miss what’s his name’s active participation in the cover up.
But it is still pretty obvious that he is rambling a narrative that whitewashes Obama and the government out of Hillary’s Vast Conspiracy. And he even makes the FBI into victims of the conspiracy, not perpetrators.
Now THAT is what I call a Nixonesque Limited Hangout.
There should be no bewilderment concerning the complicity of the corporate media involvement in Watergate or Russiagate. They also played a key role in the 2020 election steal. They have many feathers in their globalist Marxist hat.
As opposed to doom and gloom again this is a massive reveal that shows that the corporate media and their news actors, ESPECIALLY FOX! …that the last thing they care about is journalism or the news.
These cretins and their masters have an agenda and most of the swamp rats, state & federal are puppets, being controlled by dollars and blackmail, to what end?
Just look at any country in the West and you tell me. Massive invasion of illiterate 3rd worlders, rampant inflation, bio-weapons, destruction of foundational principles. Get rid of God and Christianity cutting us loose from our spiritual morays, zero guardrails, anything goes.
Whether this is corrected or not is not just President Trump, but every man and woman in the West. Oh, none of this would have been revealed if in 2015 the then multi-billionaire Donald J Trump hadn’t come down the escalator with Melania and painted a massive target on his and his families back into eternity.
MAGA! …again.
I knew the msm was corrupt bef6the Vietnam war. I cut the cord in 2005. Read only. And I read nothing that gets black ink on my hands.
The Democrats and Jews have blood on their hands.
Yes, the media has been corrupt for a very long time. I started waking up in 2006- pretty much stopped paying attention to the MSM then, and started doing my own research.
The MSM is the means by which Government feeds lies to the public.
Sort of like waking up in a car fixing to hit a brick wall.
Bezos is a three alphabet asset, he bought the Washington Post (a dying medium even then) for what reason? To run a psy-op campaign using a former Blue Chip media operation. Thank goodness for alternative media.
Pay attention to Lee Smith – one of the sharpest and most cogent journalists I’ve seen emerge in years. His interview appearances on One America News are always informative.
Corporate media has become little more than a tool for mass propaganda and controlling the Overton Window. Most Americans will have to move beyond it as a news source if they want to break free from the intended programming.
Consolidating virtually all news organizations into a handful of powerful corporations has been absolutely disastrous for the freedom of information in Western countries. But I suspect that is by the CIA’s intended design.
and yet still nothing will be done to anyone
The left, who hate Nixon, should be reminded on a daily basis, that their party did the same thing Nixon did —- in spades and with the help of the corporate press.
Watergate was a hand grenade.
Russa Hoax was a MOAB.
No one knows or is more knowledgeable about the facts surrounding the false narrative known as Russia-Gate or the Trump Russia alleged conspiracy. This Tablet article lays out chapter and verse the conspiracy and collusion entered into by the New York Times and Washington Post to further a false narrative concocted by the Hillary Clinton campaign. They were true lackeys for those peddling salacious, and false evidence to destroy the Trump presidency. The events here, in many ways, mirror the Watergate conspiracy. The engineered destruction of the Trump presidency was one lie and falsehood after another which Lee Smith very adroitly lays out for the reader. Sadly, it was the once free American press that published one lie after another in this appalling affair. If you want a good understanding of how these events unfolded this article is certainly has the information and answers.
It struck me that after all the treachery, lies and false reporting by the press we now have a completely and utterly incompetent president and administration. This a direct result of a libelous and scurrilous press. Personally, I put this squarely at the feet of the American people who were either too gullible or too lazy to stay informed and question the absurd. The last sentence of Smith’s article says it all. “It would be more fitting for the Post and Times to have the (Pulitzer) prize’s citation emblazoned on their mastheads for posterity to commemorate how they injected poison into the national bloodstream and burned down our free press.
THANK YOU LEE SMITH
Like the NAZI and communist mass murderers only a fraction of whom were ever punished, so too will these criminals all get away with their crimes.
“media’s role in creating (and Still PERPetuating) the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory” !
“media’s role in creating (and $TILL PERPetuating) the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory” !
Outstanding summary Mr. Smith. Outstanding!
As usual, an amazing article by Lee Smith. Of course, understanding all of this begs the question: would people who would go this far to disrupt a duly elected American presidency, not go further, and disrupt an election for his second term? Of course they would.
Why is it that I’ve known much of this for years and still it boils my blood?
I was caught up personally in the media conspiracy to destroy Trump.A business writer named David Enrich called me in late 2018 to ask if he could interview me for a book he was writing on the history of Deutsche Bank. I had started and built the Bank’s Commercial Real Estate lending business in the US from non-existent to an industry leader in one year after being recruited from Goldman. In the Spring of 1998, I agreed to finance first one, then a second Trump project. He was certainly controversial, it both of the deals were obvious winners. I told Enrich the story, and that Trump had been a great client, and we established something of a friendship. I was a scratch golfer, so we played some golf and even a couple of Pro Am tournaments. This was “par for the course.”As one of the biggest lenders in the country, my time was in demand from every major developer. I was taken to Augusta, Shaol Creek, Cypress Point, Seminole – playing Winged Foot and Atlantic City was no great thrill, but Trump was a very good golfer and a lot of fun.
I told Enrich my underwriters had approved a loan on one of Trump’s casinos in Atlantic City, and my salesmen had pre-sold the entire loan in a securitization. There was a brief internal issue when the Credit department had been found not to have signed the deal memo. At first, he thought there was a problem, and denied having approved the loan. After it was found he had, in fact approved it, and simply failed to sign and file the memo (along with others from several departments) he was let go. The loan was never made – Trump could not buy back the outstanding debt.My business continued, it seven months later the global credit crunch (Long Term Capital failure) hit, and my boss used the crisis to get rid of everyone he considered a threat to his job, including me. That’s the nature of Wall Street. I went on to work on billions of financings as a private consultant for major clients (including the largest single-property office loan ever securitized).
To my shock, Enrich suddenly told me in early 2019 he was using our interview for a Times article. Without a thorough fact check, he changed the story to make it smack of scandal and sleaze. He claimed the credit document had a forged signature. This was factually untrue and libelous. While he changed some small details, he wold not change this – he needed something scandalous. I went over him to his editor — ELLEN POLLOCK! She made it clear she didn’t care about the facts or truth.The reason the Times had suddenly made this into a front-page story was the Mueller Report was finally breaking, and it had….nothing! The while Trump-Russia narrative was collapsing, and the Times’ three year smear campaign with it. So they changed the narrative – now Trump was a dirty businessman, crook and failure. No matter the cost, they had to sell a new narrative.
Pollock and the Times’ attorney were not interested in the documentary evidence I offered them to prove what they had written was false. They would not correct it under any circumstances. They told me to go ahead and sue. It would take years and cost me millions, and liberal New York judges would never give me any satisfaction or money. If they had to issue a correction, it would be years later buried in the back of the print edition. Interestingly, when Enrich did publish his epically awful and dull book, he took out the smears – he wouldn’t have the Times’ lawyers to protect him.
Pollock was a part of the whole liberal media campaign to smear Trump regardless of the facts. She is a fraud of an editor and journalist. I am not surprised she tried to promote her husband’s book in the paper. Ethics have no relevance to these people. None. Lee Smith’s epic piece is spot in in every regard.
