Clinton Campaign Adviser Pushes Trump Russia False Narrative

Brent Budowsky is a Democratic party insider whose claim to fame today will be two things. First. he is the author of this email to John Podesta, the head of Hillary Clinton's Campaign for President in 2016 among other things.

Connecting Trump to Russia was a Clinton campaign talking point and look at where we are today. The evidence of any illegal Trump Russia collusion doesn't exist. Now the accusations are down to 'meddling'. Secondly, watch Budowsky talk Russia, meddling and ....

The Democrats and their allies in the media knew all along the Trump Russia narrative was a LIE

Will the Democrats and their allies be held accountable for their lies?  Why are the Democrats and the NEVER Trumpers pushing WW3 or the next cold war with Russia ?

Clinton Ally Pens E-Book: ‘The Benghazi Hoax’

Media Matter's Propagandist David Brock Pens E-Book: ‘The Benghazi Hoax’

By MAGGIE HABERMAN | 10/19/13 8:51 PM EDT @Politico

Excerpt:

Media Matters founder and Hillary Clinton ally David Brock has co-authored a 90-page e-book called “The Benghazi Hoax,” a tome intended as a counterweight of sorts to criticisms of the former Secretary of State and President Barack Obama over the 2012 attacks in Libya.

Background on the Attack and the Special Mission Benghazi

Brock previewed the book in an interview with POLITICO last week in the liberal group’s Washington offices. He described it as an important and necessary resource on the Benghazi attacks that left four Americans dead last Sept. 11 — and which some congressional Republicans have shown continued interest in probing.

Brock insisted the book is not intended as a de facto defense of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as she comes under scrutiny ahead of a likely 2016 presidential bid. Supporting the Clintons is a fraction of Media Matters’ mission, he said, and her role in the Benghazi attacks is not the sole focus of the book.

Secretary of State has to Approve High Threat Level Locations

But the mere fact of the book’s existence is an acknowledgement that Benghazi will remain a topic of debate, and one that could harm Clinton with independent and center-right Republicans. And it comes as Brock-affiliated groups could fill an organizational void for Clinton, who has no machinery of her own beyond a handful of staffers since leaving the State Department.

The book, which comes out Tuesday, is as much about pushing back against criticisms by the right that Obama is a weak president who has hurt America in the world, Brock said.

Still, he added, there are “six super PACs out there dedicated to trying to tarnish [Clinton’s] reputation.”

 The Clintonista Brock spins the coverup:

“People have missed the fact that Benghazi was not only a tragedy, but it was a night of valor,” said Brock. The book – the first such endeavor for Media Matters, which is self-publishing it – was conceived of in the spring, as the congressional hearings on Benghazi were taking place, he said.

 David Brock is just another leftist that cannot tell the truth.

The Benghazi Timeline

 The book offers a sweeping criticism of a number of Republicans, including last year’s GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, as well as members of the media. That includes but is not limited to several Fox News anchors, whom Brock describes as “hoaxters” interested in tarnishing Obama and Clinton, and, by extension, former United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice. Her Sunday show appearances defending the administration shortly after the attacks helped sink her hopes of becoming Secretary of State.

 Obama called Benghazi an 'act of terror' the next day?

The 40% of Guns Purchased Without a Background Check LIE

The Gunshow Loophole LIE is REPEATED Over and Over in the media. The Sunday talkshow panels and moderators like Chris Wallace @foxnewssunday were willing to repeat this discredited Bloomberg TALKING POINT.

"There's a loophole where you can sell guns without a background check … 40 percent of guns are sold that way" 

It has been repeated over and over. Surely it must be true?

Politifact rates Bloomberg's Claim as mostly true.
Politifact Rates Bloomberg's Claim Mostly True

In conclusion they write:

"Our ruling

Mayor Bloomberg said 40 percent of gun sales take place through gun shows or the Internet.

The best information on the informal gun market is based on a survey and is about 15 years old. Current regulations don't allow direct tallies of sales of this sort. An undercover investigation found a great deal of internet activity, but it was sponsored by a mayor who seeks greater regulation. Groups opposed to greater regulation were asked to rebut the mayor's assertion and did not respond."

WH and main stream media push the same PREPLANNED agenda. Parrots and propaganda. Video
 
What is the hard science behind this 1997 report, based on a 1994 random telephone survey, that Bloomberg cites to say 40 percent of gun purchases made without a background check. 1997 Study that Bloomberg Cites for the 40 Percent Statistic

The left consists of faux intellectuals eager to engage in dishonesty Video

Politifact even adds another study to back up Bloomberg's 40%  'Cliff Clavinoid' about guns. Bloomberg says in 1997 the figure was 40 percent. Now more than a decade later, add in the internet. and Bloomberg's number is still 40 percent.

New York City's 'Point, Click, Shoot' is another laughable study cited by politifacts to back up Bloomberg's claims. Junk Science at a new level
The Study Cited by Politifacts Called 'Point Click Shoot' 

 An undercover investigation found a great deal of internet activity, but it was sponsored by a mayor who seeks greater regulation......  Politifact

My favorite part of the PCS report is after building their strawman of anecdotes and innuendo, they do include the following quote

      'Private sellers no matter where  they are selling  are prohibited from “engaging in the business” of selling guns, or from repeatedly selling for the purpose of profit. Nor can they sell to an individuals they know to be, or have reason to believe may be, a prohibited purchaser – for example, if the buyer indicates that he or she probably could  not pass a background check. '

More importantly:

 Federally licensed dealers must verify that a buyer has not been convicted of a serious crime or
declared mentally incompetent or is blocked for any of about 10 reasons. Typically this is done online and takes less than a day- and a waiting period may apply.

 Interstate Sale and Shipping - the seller must ship the gun from a licensed dealer in the seller’s state to a licensed dealer in the buyer’s state. After the buyer completes paperwork and passes a background check at his local dealer, he or she may take possession of the gun.-and a waiting period may apply.

Seventeen States REQUIRE Background Checks for Handgun Purchases at Gun Shows, among them Seven that REQUIRE Checks for ANY Kind of FireARM Purchase, Including Rifles and Shotguns.

All Licensed FireArms Dealers are REQUIRED TO Do a Background Check.

 Reminder - Politifacts:

Our ruling

Mayor Bloomberg said 40 percent of gun sales take place through gun shows or the Internet.

The best information on the informal gun market is based on a survey and is about 15 years old. Current regulations don’t allow direct tallies of sales of this sort

The left does not utilize current gun laws, yet they seek populist appeal in passing even more restrictions as part of the 'opportunity of crisis', narratives or MEMES and to maintain power.   Chicago leads in murders with STRICT gun control.
