1/ Raskin is now showing reporters the packet of misinformation the Department of State IG brought to Congress. It appears—if I understand correctly—the IG was trying to warn eight Congressional committees that Pompeo and the White House are deliberately spreading misinformation.

1. This is exactly what I thought. Thanks for the clarity.

[hlthe2b]

2. I think it is a good thing if some high level employees are rethinking what they have seen and

trying to be proactive... Even if it doesn't pan out as "new" it shows they are cooperating as they all should be.

[BigmanPigman]

3. Good point.

[guillaumeb]

4. Trump will dismiss this as the deep state attempting to depose the King.

[Perseus]

19. Who cares about what he thinks and does now, besides more impeachable offenses.

He can say and do whatever he wants, I think that even his base is now accepting that the guy is a crook and a liar.

He is so stupid that one or maybe two out of ten of the things he says or does from now on will just add up to his list of crimes and misdemeanors, so let him talk, let him do.

[Evolve Dammit]

21. Respectfully disagree. His base would follow him to the gates of hell and blame fake news.

You're talking millions who don't ever listen to what we do. They drank the Kool-Aid a long time ago, and Limbaugh, Hannity, etc. reinforce it 24/7/365. I don't know if they are reachable even while impeachment proceeds, let alone after. It's the librul left and Clinton/Obama's fault that this is happening to their swamp-drainer (fantasy land for sure).

[Evolve Dammit]

36. I agree. I have given up any hope of "reaching out" to his mindless base.

But we live next door or down the road from them. They are not going away from the US of A. I don't know how you deal with them.

[gratuitous]

5. Hot potato

The Inspector General got burned by the administration's slow walk of the whistleblower complaint. Looks like they've decided that checking with the White House or the Attorney General before forwarding something on to the proper congressional committees isn't a wise course of action.

[tblue37]

11. It's not the same IG. It's the State Dept IG, not the CIA IG. nt

[calimary]

22. But the State Dept IG undoubtedly saw what's happened elsewhere.

And just maybe it made an extra impression. Particularly if f you don’t want to “get any on you.”

6. Sounds like a big packet of ratfuckery

Real winners don't need to cheat and lie - like these Trumpzoids do.

[captain queeg]

7. Trump hotel folders?

These guys are so f**king stupid

[DENVERPOPS]

25. Not really

Not really, it lets them all know that it comes straight from the top in order to keep them all in line.......

In a way, that would be like Jury tampering.........

[struggle4progress]

8. Today's word is "obstruction." O-B-S-T-R-U-C-T-I-O-N. "Obstruction"

[MyOwnPeace]

26. Good one!

[Leghorn21]

9. Desidario just posted:

STORY: State Dept IG briefed Hill aides about an
apparent attempt to smear a senior U.S. diplomat
seen by Dems as a key fact witness in their impeachment
inquiry. The documents contain misinformation &
debunked conspiracy theories about Hunter Biden, too.

18. Pretty damning, but I bet it goes beyond this as well.

[spanone]

10. K&R...

[ritapria]

12. The WH spread Ukraine notes to Pompeo

Notes derived from Guiliani meetings involving debunked Ukraine Conspiracy Theories and the smearing of a senior US diplomat..... … Does the IG have proof Pompeo and WH.. are knowingly spreading this horse Manure ?... And if so, to whom ? Frankly, I'm a little disappointed …..I hope they can directly tie the production and spreading of the notes to Trump ….. It's all about getting the lunatic out of the WH

[UTUSN]

13. Sounds like a Devin NUNES operation

[dweller]

14. so basically he supplied

a heads up to the next CT coming from the flailing WH Dumbers,
and cutting them off at the knees, no make that the ankles...
check that, hanging them by the ankles if they float that CT 🤔

wonder if someone has the foresight to let Hair Twitler know before he twitstorms in a fresh rage ?

✌🏼

[rainin]

15. By misinformation, he means talking points.

Trump always uses his pulpit to communicate talking points. It sounds like whining or self-pity, but he's broadcasting a communication strategy. This is why, IMO, he tweets constantly. He's keeping his army in line.

[orangecrush]

16. KICK

[triron]

17. As John Flannery says, this 'administration' is a criminal enterprise.

Media doesn't get it yet but they're getting there.

[SayItLoud]

20. The Mueller summary by Barr...the incomplete transcript of Ukraine call...

Nothing new here. #VoteBlue

[The Liberal Lion]

23. Holy shit

this shit starting to become NOT FUNNY real quick

[bucolic_frolic]

24. Spreading misinformation is manufacturing their own version of FAKE NEWS

They have been distorting facts and truth since before Trump took office. It's a war for the truth every day. Constantly telling the public that only he, Donald Trump, knows the truth, and you should accept his version, and by the way, it's the OTHER guys that are making things up.

Didn't you know this would end up like this, from day one? I did. I heard the early references to "only I can fix it", the invincibility, the bluster. We have never run into a charlatan like this in my lifetime. In past periods, I don't know - Huey Long? Joseph McCarthy?

Did he really think snakes and alligators in the Rio Grande was feasible?

He is not well. I mean really not well. Disturbed.

[MyOwnPeace]

27. You got THAT right!!!!

"He is not well. I mean really not well. Disturbed."

Peter, Paul, and Mary: "When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn........."

[Newest Reality]

29. Of course...

Trump started the "fake news" thing and that's a dictator ploy to discredit the media, create confusion and obscure the facts.

However, it is getting crystal clear that Trump really gives himself away all the time. What he accuses others of is often actually what he is doing in some way, shape or form. It is an odd form of deflection, but there seems to be some strange psychology in that.

Time and time again, if I just say, he is talking about him or his actions or his Administration, it is like having a secret decoder ring to an idiot's crypto.

[bucolic_frolic]

31. Others have labeled it: projection is confession /nt

[wiggs]

28. small taste of what it looks like when the most powerful office in the world is corrupted. nt

[malaise]

33. Chris Hayes just said that noun/verb/9/11 told CNN

that he sent the package. I'm glad the IG exposed this propaganda shit down to the Con's hotel stationery.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

34. Abramson should know -- deliberate misinformation is disinformation

A disinformation campaign is propaganda; it's the realm of spooks, con-artists, mobsters and dirty politicians.
