Here Comes the 'Binder' Freakout: The Latest Media Nonsense to Try to Take Down Trump


Nick Arama reporting for RedState 

Former President Donald Trump is increasing his lead over Joe Biden in the polls.

Democrats and other assorted anti-Trump folks are losing their minds that he might win again. The lawfare leveled against him hasn't stopped people from supporting him. So the anti-Trump crew is making all kinds of hilarious predictions about Trump and what he might do in order to try to ward people off from voting for him — everything from he's going to shoot people in the street to somehow he's going to shut down the internet and misuse the "doomsday book."

It's so stupid, but it shows how desperate they are. 

So if they're desperate and everything has failed to stop him, what would follow next? 

Ah, a new shiny object to try to take him down: a missing binder.

CNN, those paragons of journalistic integrity, and the usual suspects are peddling the story of a binder that supposedly went missing with Russian information in it while Trump was in the White House.  

The binder contained raw intelligence the US and its NATO allies collected on Russians and Russian agents, including sources and methods that informed the US government’s assessment that Russian President Vladimir Putin sought to help Trump win the 2016 election, sources tell CNN.

Lol, "sources."

Yes, they even now seem to be trying to recycle "Russia, Russia, Russia" when they should have been embarrassed for the conspiracies they spread before. It seems to be all the same suspects pushing this once again. 

Supposedly, this binder went "missing" when documents were being sent to the White House for declassification when Trump wanted to release all the information to the American people. 

So, there are obviously deep problems with this story. 

First, if it was so vital and it went missing, why are people only talking about it now, almost three years after Trump left office? That doesn't make a lot of sense, does it? Unless it wasn't important and/or you want to make something out of nothing to try to take down Trump now. 

Second, Trump wanted it declassified, and most of it was if you take this report at face value., So, what are we even talking about? 

Third, Trump wanted everything declassified so the American people could see it. He could make that call since he was the president. So it wouldn't be him making anything go missing. It would be people who didn't want the information released, assuming there was anything to this story, to begin with. 

As I've said in the past, we have to apply the 48-hour rule. Virtually every "scandalous" story the liberal media drops about Trump turns out to be debunked/nonsense/silly within 48 hours. 

I'm not sure there's anything even missing here, to begin with. "Sources" and CNN aren't exactly reliable. 

It seems to me there's another big question, too: The story claims there's a redacted version of the binder that Trump ordered released. So why hasn't the Biden team released it? Where is it? Why hasn't it been released by the Biden administration pursuant to the order? 

That seems to be the bigger question.
