Comments on: Remember Durham? https://thenewneo.com/2021/09/17/remember-durham/ A blog about political change, among other things Sat, 18 Sep 2021 22:25:59 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.3 By: huxley https://thenewneo.com/2021/09/17/remember-durham/#comment-2577746 Sat, 18 Sep 2021 22:25:59 +0000 https://www.thenewneo.com/?p=110578#comment-2577746 Barry Meislin links a story claiming Atlantic writer Franklin Foer may have been the reporter who helped relay Sussman’s Russia-Trump narrative into news channels.

Foer is a bad penny who keeps turning up. I first noticed his name in the Scott Thomas Beauchamp controversy. Scott Thomas was an Army private in Iraq, who concocted brutal “diary” entries of American soldiers behaving badly in Iraq and got them published in The New Republic under the name, Scott Thomas Beauchamp. His editor was Franklin Foer.

Thomas was eventually caught out and Foer issued a non-denial denial, “Aw shucks, we thought he was genuine but we can no longer stand by his stories.”

Foer looked ahead to today’s deceitful, advocacy journalism and he is still active.

“repeatedly debunked lies”

It works like this:

SWIFT BOAT VETS: John Kerry is a lying Blue Falcon who didn’t do half the things he’s claiming he did.
JOHN KERRY: Yes, I did.
MEDIA: Swift Boat Vets’ wild lies are totally debunked!!!

Remember, there were rumors of a pending attack before the drone strike occurred! Was someone able to provide the military with a name so that his vehicle could be tracked? Was that name one that was on the list of US collaborators provided to the Taliban?

Something is rotten in the White House!

Lying to the FBI has a 5 year sol from what I understand. Other charges may have longer sols. More serious charges typically have longer sols. For example, there is no sol for murder.

Marc Elias and—yep!—slimy Jake Sullivan make cameo appearances in the previous link…

If not, here’s the link:

May prove to be a breakthrough—at least I’d like to hope so…but I’m not sure I’d hold my breath….

Corrupt from Day 1.
(Actually before that, given their shenanigans during the Obama administration.)

Now he may have to. Yeah, I know it’s a longshot.

Skip, you forgot his paramours… unless by some stroke of bad luck for him, he just jilted one of them!
