A Confederacy of Fabulists Lately beleaguered CNN and MSNBC have brought in a number of former Obama-administration related officials or supporters to comment on DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s recent release of a trove of incriminating documents. The release highlights lame-duck President Barack Obama’s efforts to warp intelligence in order to damage the incoming 2017 Trump administration with the charge of “Russian collusion”. Recently, many of these Obama-administration “experts” appeared on CNN and MSNBC to comment and analyze about the degree of Obama’s legal exposure (and their own),  or reflect on their own anti-Trump experiences. But learning nothing, forgetting nothing, CNN and MSNBC are still hammering the collusion lie as a way of protecting the entire Obama hoax team. Yet why are the networks bringing guests to ascertain the truth, who themselves are known dissimulators, if not outright fabricators—with zero credibility? Andrew McCabe? We are lectured by him about the innocence of Obama and the intelligence community. But he was the fired interim FBI director who admittedly lied on four occasions to federal investigators, three of which times were under oath. James Clapper? He comes on to lament that he is “lawyering up” to defend himself from supposedly unfair accusations. This from the former Director of National Intelligence who boldly lied under oath to the U.S. Senate by claiming the NSA had not spied on American citizens. Clapper later described his lie as offered in “the least untruthful manner”. Clapper is also on a prior video praising Obama for his efforts to prompting his intelligence heads to reinvestigate Trump for collusion—intended praise that sort of refutes all assertions that there was no presidential intervention to change intelligence assessment findings. John Brennan? He lied on at least two flagrant occasions when he falsely claimed to the U.S. Senate that his CIA had not tapped into Senate staffers’ computers. He lied again when he preposterously stated that there were no collateral deaths ("there hasn't been a single collateral death") from Obama-era predator targeted-assassination missions. Most recently, he is likely to face accusations of lying given he once claimed that he knew virtually nothing about the contents of the fake Steele dossier—a statement that simply is not and cannot be accurate. Susan Rice? Why would anyone listen to her on cable news, given she was a notorious Sunday News show chronic fabulist, variously claiming that deserter Bowe Bergdahl had served his country “with honor and distinction”? She claimed quite falsely and repeatedly that the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi was due entirely to a spontaneous riot over an anti-Islamic video, rather than a preplanned Islamist terrorist assault due to the negligence of the Obama administration to take prior security warnings seriously. Her biggest lie was the surreal claim that, “We were able to get the Syrian government to voluntarily and verifiably give up its chemical weapons stockpile.” Verifiably?  After that false pronouncement, the Assad regime continued to slaughter civilians with WMD. Jeffrey Toobin? The CNN legal analyst was caught on a group zoom call with journalists masturbating—only to implausibly claim that he thought he was “off camera”. On Zoom? James Comey? The former and fired FBI Director recently on the cable news networks was attempting to explain away his “8647” sea-shell tall-tale. But he is most infamous for claiming amnesia or ignorance (“I don’t know,” “I don’t remember”, “I don’t recall”) a reported 245 times while under oath before the House Oversight Committee. Comey also testified that he told then President Trump that he was not the subject of an FBI investigation at a time when the ongoing Crossfire Hurricane fake-Russian “collusion” investigation was predicated de facto on finding Trump-Russian efforts to warp the 2016 election. Why bring on such a cast of characters to question the truthfulness of anyone when none of them has any credibility themselves?
