We haven’t seen the Democrats this publicly shook since they claimed Pizzagate was “debunked” about thirty seconds after news of it broke:
Democrats say the State Department watchdog used a closed-door briefing on Wednesday to give them “conspiracy theories” tied to Ukraine, former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch and former Vice President Joe Biden.
“It’s essentially a packet of propaganda and disinformation and spreading conspiracy theories. Those conspiracy theories have been widely debunked and discredited,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) told reporters after an hourlong briefing with State Department Inspector General Steve Linick.
The closed-door, hour-long briefing was part of a hastily assembled meeting requested by the State Department watchdog.
Ahead of the meeting, there had been speculation that it could be tied to a whistleblower complaint about President Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukraine’s president, which is at the forefront of the impeachment probe.
Instead, Democrats say the packet of documents handed over by the State Department watchdog mentions Biden and his son Hunter Biden, Yovanovitch and CrowdStrike, the cybersecurity firm that investigated breaches at the DNC in the lead up to the 2016 election.
“They appear to contain long-debunked theories and false statements about the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine and one of President Trump’s political opponents,” said Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), whose staff attended the briefing…. A Democratic source familiar with the briefing said that the documents came from the White House to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. The paperwork was organized in multiple Trump Hotel folders and included together in an envelope labeled “White House.”
“Those folders contained notes from interviews that took place at Rudy Giuliani’s NYC office with various Ukrainians about debunked conspiracies related to Ukraine. This was just another attempt by the White House to peddle Rudy Giuliani conspiracy theories,” the source added.
Republicans have doubled down on calls for an investigation into Biden’s role in the ouster of a Ukraine prosecutor in 2016, despite no evidence of wrongdoing.
The media seems to think that if it just says the magic words often enough, the problem goes away. We already know that Creepy Joe lied. We already know that his adulterous, crackhead son who banged his brother’s widow was being paid ludicrous sums of money for doing nothing by the Ukrainians.
The word “debunked” clearly no longer means what it used to mean. But what level of truth can you reasonably expect from people who also claim that “man” means “woman”, “cat” means “dog”, and the number six means “purple”.
