Barr Pressed Durham to Find Flaws in the Russia Investigation. It Didn’t Go Well.
One of the 1st thoughts was that the NYT was trying to get ahead of a soon to be released Durham report.
"The post Barr Pressed Durham to Find Flaws in the Russia Investigation. It Didn’t Go Well. appeared first on New York Times."
It may have been to get ahead of this 4 part story ......
https://www.cjr.org/special_report/trumped-up-press-versus-president-ed-note.phpLol. From Part 4.
"At a press briefing, the final question was whether US intelligence or Putin should be believed with regard to meddling in the 2016 election. After going on a tangent about the server at the DNC, Trump said, “I don’t see any reason why it would be” Russia that did it. Then, a bit later in his answer, he expressed “great confidence in my intelligence people.”
The first remark received all the attention. Some outlets, like the Times, didn’t include his comments about “great confidence” in US intelligence in their stories, while others, such as the Post, did.
A clarification was released, but the cleanup was not enough for critics such as Roger Cohen, then a columnist at the Times, who wrote of the “disgusting spectacle of the American president kowtowing in Helsinki to Vladimir Putin.”
Rachel Maddow, the MSNBC host, saw the day’s events as affirmation of her having covered the Trump-Russia matter “more than anyone else,” because, as her blog pointed out, Americans were now “coming to grips with a worst-case scenario that the US president is compromised by a hostile foreign power.”
'I don't see why it would be Russia, but I believe my intelligence people' gets twisted by the likes of the NYT and Maddow. 🤡
Re Trump on Bolton " I loved him for the negotiations, all these countries,” aware of Bolton’s hawkish views, “thought we were going to blow them up”.
