Did the Left and the Media Jump Into Another ‘Russia’ Bear Trap (They Set for Themselves)?

Russia Russia RussiaThe big news for the media and their Democrat allies is that Michael Flynn lied to the FBI about Russia.

The bad news (for the left) is that it doesn’t matter. ABC News, which went yard trying to nail Flynn and Trump to the left’s Russia Collusion secular cross has issued a correction that damn near invalidates the entire collusion narrative they reported above it.

Correction: During a live Special Report, ABC News reported that a confidant of Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said Flynn was prepared to testify that then-candidate Donald Trump instructed him to contact Russian officials during the campaign. That source later clarified that during the campaign, Trump assigned Flynn and a small circle of other senior advisers to find ways to repair relations with Russia and other hot spots. It was shortly after the election, that President-elect Trump directed Flynn to contact Russian officials on topics that included working jointly against ISIS. 

That’s damning testimony. Not.

The FBI will take a few heads on the rather unglamorous charge that Trump associates lied to the FBI. The media and their Democrat allies will milk the crap out of that, but that may be about as good of an idea as claiming Republicans are the party of sexual predators. I can’t count the number of Democrats who have lied to the FBI which means that at some point down the road all this band standing will come back to bite them in the ass.

The pile of cultural and political causalities on the left will grow, and Trump will still be president.

That will piss them off even more.
