Only a fool would fall for this
Apparently, the Blue-Check Twitter ResistanceLOL has never heard the old saying, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” Then again, unless it appears in one of the Harry Potter books or “The Handmaid’s Tale,” how would they?
One day after a federal judge ruled that the documents seized in the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago must be first reviewed by a Special Master, the Washington Post published yet story that is based entirely on anonymous sources, or as they like to call them, “people familiar with the matter.”
In this latest anonymously sourced “report,” the people familiar with the matter are claiming the FBI found a document related to a foreign country’s military defenses and nuclear capabilities.
And every fool who fell for every other anonymously-sourced “hair-on-fire” report about Trump immediately pounced on the story, screeching about treason and sedition and putting Trump in prison.
Let’s leave aside for a moment that the same Department of Justice that doesn’t think Trump can be trusted with classified materials can’t be trusted not to leak information from classified materials to the Washington Post.
Only a fool would fall for this story.
In the last six years, how many of these explosive, anonymously-sourced articles in the Washington Post, or anywhere else for that matter, withstood the test of time?
How many times has the Washington Post been forced to issue “corrections” or “clarifications” to stories once they fall apart in the wash?
Just weeks ago, the Washington Post peddled a story based on “sources familiar with the investigation” who claimed the FBI found nuclear secrets among the documents seized.
You’ll forgive me if I’m not a big enough fool to take this latest claim at face value.
See, unlike the Twitter ResistanceLOL, I don’t have the memory of a fish. I remember:
“Michael Cohen was in Prague!!! Okay, no, that was a different Michael Cohen, my bad.”
“Donald Trump Junior got the heads up about the leaked emails from Wikileaks in advance!!! Okay, no, he didn’t. Never mind.”
“Trump called the military Losers and Suckers!!!! Okay, no. Everybody who was there said he never said that.”
“Trump called immigrants ‘ANIMALS!!!’ Okay, no. He was talking about MS-13.”
“TRUMP CALLED NAZIS AND WHITE SUPREMACISTS ‘VERY FINE PEOPLE!!!!!’ Okay, no he specifically said he wasn’t talking about them, but well, forget that part.”
I mean, unless you were born yesterday, surely you could remember the August 11th Washington Post report claiming “TRUMP HAD NUCLEAR SECRETS!!!”
For the Twitter ResistanceLOL, the saying should be, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me sixty-bajillion times in six years, then I’m too stupid to breed.”
You’d think if these guys were as intelligent and politically savvy as they claim, they would stop buying anonymously sourced stories that fall apart faster than a sweater in the spin cycle.
Then again, how many of them really do believe these reports?
This isn’t about getting Trump tried and convicted. Mollie Hemingway is right. It’s an information operation.
The DOJ and FBI are working with their stooges in the American corporate news media to engage in information warfare ahead of the November election that just so happens to dovetail with the White House’s Midterm messaging that “MAGA Republicans” are a “threat” to the country.
Let me simple things up.
It’s election interference.
I’d bet you most of the blue-check Twitter ResistanceLOL members who are well-I-nevering over this Washington Post report know it’s utter bullshit. Just like they knew every word of the New York Post report on Hunter’s laptop was true the whole time they were claiming it was “Russian disinformation.”
But whatever helps the Democrats in November is the story they will peddle, knowing full well the uninformed nitwits on Twitter, the ones who are still fool enough to believe every Trump story that has already been debunked, will fall for it, hook, line, and sinker.
