The New York Times this week published a “bombshell” report about Russian officials supposedly discussing how to influence Trump aides.
What has become utterly typical of the liberal media is that, despite a sensational headline and paragraphs of copy furthering their narrative, buried in their own article is the fact that there is literally no evidence for their own claim.
As the Daily Caller pointed out, this story was obviously meant to further the Russian “hacking” conspiracy theory, but after all the sensationalism, the Times finally admitted, “It is unclear, however, whether Russian officials actually tried to directly influence Mr. Manafort and Mr. Flynn.”
“It is unclear.” Hmm. So, once again, there is no evidence that Trump or anyone in his campaign secretly worked with Russia, contrary to what MSNBC viewers think. How many times does it have to be said before the left and the media (but I repeat myself) move on?
Here are 5 other times the media, politicians, or officials have reported that there is no evidence for their conspiracy theory.
Former Director of National Intelligence Clapper Saw No Evidence of Russia ‘Collusion’
James Clapper: “At the time I left office I had no evidence available to me that there was collusion.”
Obama CIA Director Admits No Evidence Links Trump to Russia
Michael Morell: “On the question of the Trump campaign conspiring with the Russians here, there is smoke, but there is no fire at all. There’s no little campfire, there’s no little candle, there’s no spark. And there’s a lot of people looking for it.”
Confession: Democrat Senator Admits No Evidence
Chris Murphy: “We certainly don’t have a smoking gun today. I have a feeling that there is a number of additional chapters here that haven’t been told, but no, today we don’t have that direct, clear evidence of collusion between Trump himself, high levels of the campaign, and the Russian government.”
Former CIA Director Admits He Doesn’t Know if Trump-Russia Collusion Exists
John Brennan: “I don’t have sufficient information to make a determination whether or not there was cooperation or complicity or collusion.”
Report: Investigation of Trump Server Revealed ‘No Evidence’ of Russian Collusion
“The months-long FBI counterintelligence investigation into Russian efforts to influence the 2016 presidential campaign briefly investigated a computer server tied to Donald Trump’s businesses near the end of the election but has not gathered evidence of election tampering to date that would warrant criminal charges against any of the president’s associates, Circa has learned.”
The CIA, FBI, DNI, and Democrat lawmakers all agree: there is no evidence for their conspiracy theory. Any implication to the contrary is false.
So why are we treated to stories day after day for months on end about a bogus story?
Time to drop it and get back to the business of making American great again!
