Russian Collusion Hoax scandal exposed by newly-declassified docs
New information is being revealed about the infamous Russia-Trump Collusion Hoax, following President Donald Trump's decision to declassify intelligence related to the hoax.
Just the News reports on one of the latest finds, which is that a National Security Agency director actually told Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents that the Washington Post's story on the Russian collusion hoax was "wrong."
This is the same Washington Post story that actually won a Pulitzer Prize.
It was published in May 2017, and it can be read here. It was titled, Trump asked intelligence chiefs to push back against FBI collusion probe after Comey revealed its existence.
The details
Just the News has done some exclusive reporting on the intelligence that Trump recently declassified, and it was there that the outlet found out about what former NSA Director Mike Rogers told FBI agents.
The outlet reports:
Admiral Rogers, who retired in 2018 after four years as National Security Agency chief and commander of U.S. Cyber Command, spoke with FBI agents and a key member of special counsel Robert Mueller’s team in June 2017, where he threw cold water on a May 2017 story...
Just the News goes on to more specifically explain what it found in the declassified Crossfire Hurricane documents.
It writes:
The newly-released Rogers interview with the Mueller team shows that the then-NSA director was read a quote from The Washington Post article — that “President Trump urged [Rogers] to publicly deny the existence of any evidence of collusion during the 2016 election” — with the FBI notes stating that “Rogers responded that the media characterization was wrong, and the President had asked about the existence of SIGINT [signals intelligence] evidence only.”
The big question is what did the Post know and when.
The aftermath
Just the News goes on to explain how, despite the fact that the story was refuted, the Post was given the Pulitzer Prize for it.
This particular matter is not settled just yet. Trump is in the process of bringing a defamation lawsuit against the Pulitzer Board.
In the lawsuit, Trump is arguing that the board continues to defame him by continuing to defend the awards that it handed out to the Post and others in relation to the Russia-Trump Collusion Hoax.
The obvious question here is why the board continues to defend these awards, despite the fact that the whole collusion narrative has been completely debunked - meaning that the reporting it has awarded was false and thus bad reporting.
It is not a difficult question to answer.
