Daniel Lazare rehashes some of the details of “Russiagate”, focusing on the obvious media malfeasance and bias against President Trump, and the theory that the so-called “intelligence community” was doing everything they could to sabotage him. The latest episode in this conspiracy is the Ukraine impeachment inquiry, which democrats seem to have taken up full bore, while acting as if the Russia collusion issue never happened at all.
Discussed on the show:
- “Another Day, Another Scandal. What the ‘Trump-Ukraine Collusion’ Is Really About” (Antiwar.com Original)
- “The Plan to Trip Up Trump” (Consortium News)
- “The Newburgh Sting (2014)” (IMDb)
