Rolling Stone Commits Conspiracy Inception: Evidence Russian Collusion Was False Was Made Up by Russia?!

RedState 

The recent weeks in which the internal files surrounding the Russian collusion narrative have been revealed by Tulsi Gabbard have brought our media into a state of dysphoria. Wisely, Gabbard did not release all that she had in one burst, instead following the playbook of Andrew Breitbart and releasing them in stages. This means that just as the press tried disproving the proof as a nothingburger, she came out with more evidence they had to wrangle with in their deflections.

The latest was the Durham Annex, and that is proving to be the toughest nut for the fact-averse press to contend with now. However, the entirety of these released documents can now be excused away, thanks to Rolling Stone explaining it in illogical terms: The evidence of the Russian collusion narrative being manufactured was manufactured by Russia!

As expected, the release of these documents is attributed to the administration wanting to distract from the Epstein List, so the need to discredit is stronger than the facts supporting it. To begin to wrap our heads around this new conspiracy within a conspiracy, let’s first acknowledge that this was written by Nikki McCann-Ramirez. She hails from that most disreputable of outlets, Media Matters. So with that fractured foundation in place, it is away we go.

In reality, the previously classified documents seem to suggest that some of the supposed “evidence” Patel and others are touting as proof of their conspiracies was actually fabricated by Russian intelligence. 

That word “some” is doing the entire lifting for this latest theory to hold up. To buy into this latest rewriting of history, first, we need to believe that all of the files and thousands of documents recently exposed are completely neutered by two emails located in this annex. These are connected to George Soros operatives but are said to have actually been created by Russia. If you are twisting your head like a dog hearing a harmonica, that is for good cause.

The emails were derived from Leonard Bernardo, from the Soros outfit Open Society Foundation. Durham says in the annex that the email could not be fully vetted and was possibly a product of Russian disinformation. This is supposedly bolstered by the simple fact that Bernardo denies having written the email. Here is where the new conspiracy begins to fall apart.

In one of the emails, he states that a Clinton adviser had a plan to connect Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. The email also stated, “Later the F.B.I. will put more oil into the fire.” Bernardo told Durham investigators he had no recollection of writing this email, and he does not use that phrase involving “oil”. The recipient of the email, who was a foreign policy advisor on the Clinton campaign, denied to Durham that she ever proposed such. 

[To rehash the flow chart of what kicked off the Russian collusion storyline: Hillary’s campaign hired Fusion GPS to get oppo-research on Trump, that firm employed British operative Michael Steele, who concocted his infamous dossier, based on intelligence he gathered from Russian intelligence contacts. The FBI used that dossier to secure the needed FISA warrant to kick off the investigation by leaking it to the press and using those media reports as corroborating evidence to secure the warrant. So the scandal of Trump allegedly using Russian intelligence against Hillary was wholly manufactured by Russian intelligence gathered by the Clinton campaign.]

Now, here is where this entire Russian email evidence falls apart. To sell that Bernardo was not the source, we are not told from where exactly this email is said to originate. If Bernardo did not write it, who did? What evidence is there that this was made up by the Russians? Also, how does it originally get included in the evidence?

There is a specific disqualifying detail in all of this. Those emails were written on July 25 and 27 -- 2016. They predate the election and predate any wide discussion of Russian collusion with the Trump campaign. So we are to believe that now the Russians – allegedly anticipating the scandal they had cooked up for the election that Trump miraculously won – also had the foresight to plant disqualifying fraudulent emails months in advance of the scandal being crafted by Democrats, just in case the subsequent investigation into the scandal revealed it to be a scam...years later.

Tellingly, this “false” email was somehow aware that the Clinton campaign was fabricating this connection, as well as predicted that the FBI would follow through and push that Steele dossier. Meanwhile, none of this explains what has been recently revealed involving an initial FBI report - stating Russia’s influence on the election was negligible - being overridden on Barack Obama’s insistence, and a subsequent investigation into that matter taking place.

What Rolling Stone fails to consider is that to lay out the theory that Russia was planting this false evidence, and therefore all of these government documents released by Tulsi Gabbard are dismissed as Russian disinformation, the timing of it all means that to do so, it means Russia was infiltrating the Obama administration and intelligence agencies. 

We are quite certain that this is not a conclusion this outlet, or any others, would want to be accepted.
