Collusion: US Embassy Pressed Ukraine to Drop Probe Into Soros-Connected Group in 2016

John Solomon is on fire:

Lutsenko [a newly appointed prosecutor widely hailed as a hero with Ukraine for resisting Russia] told me he was stunned when the ambassador "gave me a list of people whom we should not prosecute." The list included a founder of the AntAC group...

It turns out the group that Ukrainian law enforcement was probing was co-funded by the Obama administration and liberal mega-donor George Soros. And it was collaborating with the FBI agents investigating then-Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort's business activities with pro-Russian figures in Ukraine.

The implied message to Ukraine's prosecutors was clear: Don't target AntAC in the middle of an America presidential election in which Soros was backing Hillary Clinton to succeed another Soros favorite, Barack Obama, Ukrainian officials said.

Special Counsel to investigate this ambassador? And John Kerry?

And Obama?

John Solomon also wrote another good article, pointing out that the Russia "collusion" did in fact affect one election: the 2018 one, throwing many votes to Democrats.

I'm sure that was just luck, and not some kind of planned Insurance Policy.

Simpson acknowledged in a conversation with Ohr that his and Steele's last-minute contacts with reporters during the 2016 election were a "Hail Mary attempt" to influence voters.

...

In all, more than 530,000 stories were written between May 2017 and this month about a Trump-Russia investigation that, ultimately, found no collusion. The earned media impact of that negative coverage likely would have cost billions of dollars if a Democratic candidate had tried to buy such coverage.

...

Polls showed the impact of the Russia coverage on voters. About half of American voters declared they believed Trump or his aides had colluded with Russia, even though they hadn't.

It is the most compelling proof in a long time that false information repeated long enough becomes truth for many people.

The Enemies of the People.

Thanks to some pothead who told me that every atom in his fingernail was something. He forgot what, but he said it was "trippy."
