While many mainstream media journalists have
been spinning fantasies for more than two
years, based on Russian collusion stories
being handed to them by anonymous sources,
reporter John Solomon of The Hill has been
pursuing real leads and uncovering actual
evidence.
Now, Solomon is reporting that an audiotape
containing professor Joseph Mifsud’s deposition
has been given to both U.S. Attorney John
Durham’s investigators and to the Senate
Judiciary Committee.
Solomon told Fox News’ Sean Hannity: “I
can report absolutely that the Durham investigators
have now obtained an audiotape deposition
of Joseph Mifsud, where he describes his work,
why he targeted George Papadopoulos, who directed
him to do that, what directions he was given,
and why he set that entire process of introducing
Papadopoulos to Russia in motion in March
of 2016, which is really the flashpoint the
starting point of this whole Russia collusion
narrative."
That's what Solomon told Sean Hannity.
He also went on to say, “I can also confirm
that the Senate Judiciary Committee has also
obtained the same deposition."
As you may be aware, Mifsud is the key that
turns the lock to the lid of this Pandora’s
box that we refer to as “Spygate.”
So I’m wondering why Solomon appears to
be the only mainstream reporter pursuing this
Mifsud story.
Why?
I suspect it’s because many DNC Media outlets,
after having fallen deeply and passionately
in love with the Trump-Russia collusion hoax,
are reluctant to call attention to something
that would be the final nail in its coffin.
Right?
The last thing the mainstream media wants
right now, like this moment, would be for
Mifsud to go on the record with both Durham’s
investigative team and with Congress to say
he was working for the FBI and was only pretending
to be a Russian agent.
Now, if Mifsud was an FBI asset sent to entrap
Papadopoulos, then there are no real Russian
agents anywhere in this entire Trump-Russia
collusion story.
I mean, anywhere.
You can’t save the Russian collusion narrative,
if you can’t find any real Russians anywhere
in the story.
The FBI under James Comey will then be seen
as having engaged in an operation to entrap
people, and “Russian agents” turn out
to be fakes working for the FBI and who were
making fake offers of Russian help to the
Trump campaign.
Let's face it, some of these news media outlets
are still—at this late date, at the final
hour—claiming there’s some life left in
the Russian collusion narrative.
Mifsud is literally the last dying hope for
these people that somewhere in all of this
there is a real Russian asset and real collusion.
They literally need Mifsud to be a real asset
of the Putin government.
And if Mifsud goes on the record to officially
affirm he was working for the FBI, then the
media’s last dying hope is gone forever.
To hear the mainstream media tell it, Mifsud
turning out to be a fake Russian agent working
for the FBI is a “conspiracy theory” created
by “right-wing zealots” such as Reps.
Devin Nunes and Jim Jordan.
To have to admit that the story was actually
right, while they themselves were still peddling
the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, would be
a most bitter pill for many of these ‘legitimate’
news outlets to swallow.
Wouldn't you agree?
Which likely explains why Solomon appears
to be just about the only mainstream reporter
pursuing the Mifsud story.
If there are any other major news outlet reporters
out there avidly pursuing the facts about
Mifsud and his reported contacts and testimony
to Justice Department investigators, they’re
being pretty quiet about it.
I mean, what are the mainstream news reporters
who are ignoring the Mifsud story telling
themselves, anyway?
“I can’t pursue this new information on
Mifsud, because it’s taking the story where
I don’t want it to go!”?
You know what I mean?
That’s a thought process that happens only
to a political activist disguised as a reporter.
No real reporter would ever think that way.
And yet when it comes to recent developments
about Mifsud, a key player in this Trump-Russia
collusion narrative, many mainstream media
reporters appear indifferent at best, or outrightly
hostile at worst to these latest developments
that we here at The Epoch Times love reporting
on.
While many of these mainstream media reporters
have been desperately trying to find some
way to save the Trump/Russian collusion narrative,
the last thing they want to have to report
is that the supposed key Russian agent that
started this whole Spygate thing wasn’t
really a Russian agent, but was instead an
FBI asset pretending to be a Russian agent.
These selfsame media reporters have spent
more than two years mocking the idea that
Mifsud is an FBI asset as something straight
out of the right-wing fever swamp of convoluted
nonsense conspiracy theories.
This is why so many political activists masquerading
as journalists are now desperately hoping
that somehow the Mifsud story will just go
away and die on its own.
But my instinct says they’re going to be
massively disappointed very soon.
