CNN Parrots a Farcical Conspiracy Theory About Devin Nunes and Ukraine

RedState: Apparently, this story was shopped to five different outlets. Color me shocked, shocked I tell you, that CNN would be the one with such little journalistic integrity so as to run with this.

A lawyer for an indicted associate of Rudy Giuliani told CNN that his client is willing to tell Congress about meetings the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee had in Vienna last year with a former Ukrainian prosecutor to discuss digging up dirt on Joe Biden.

The attorney, Joseph A. Bondy, represents Lev Parnas, the recently indicted Soviet-born American who worked with Giuliani to push claims of Democratic corruption in Ukraine. Bondy said that Parnas was told directly by the former Ukrainian official that he met last year in Vienna with Rep. Devin Nunes.

This is a farcical tale so improbably stupid that you’d think it wouldn’t make it past Mother Jones, but I guess their standards were too high. Lev Parnas is currently under indictment for matters completely unrelated to politics, but he is hoping to garner favor with the prosecution. What better way to do that in the SDNY than proclaim you’ve got dirt on a Republican?

This is a throw back to Michael Cohen, who made numerous attempts desperately trying to get Congress and the DOJ to keep him out of prison by promising damaging information on Donald Trump.

CNN’s latest story on Nunes is “Cohen in Prague with cell phone pings” levels of ridiculous. There is absolutely no chance that he made a secret trip, of which there are no records and no one knows about, abroad to collude with Ukraine. The idea that only Lev Parnas knows this information is laughable.

No doubt, Fusion GPS has their hands in this. They are almost always the vehicle to shop these conspiratorial stories to the media. For his part, Devin Nunes is having none of it. He’s suing CNN for defamation. read more

  1. CNN? Par for the course. It never ceases.

    Sleepy Eyes Todd had on Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch of Fusion GPS. As we’re accustomed to Chuckie’s par excellence interview skills, Simpson & Fritsch praised Christopher Steele as being a world renowned Russia “disinfo” expert, to which Todd said, umm huh.

    Oh and Simpson/Fritsch proudly announced they’re still under contract to continue investigating Trump the Russian “double agent” (100m funded by Daniel Jones, former DiFi staffer), to which Todd said…..nothing.

  2. Remember when they were sure that George H. W. Bush flew an SR-71 to Paris in 1980, so he could conspire with Iran about the hostages? Republicans are always flying off somewhere to commit skullduggery. No wonder AOC wants to ban airplanes.

  3. Some Americans may be prepping now, but one has the feeling that most Americans have just given up and would rather be fat, collect welfare, smoke weed, get drunk, watch TV, and be fags.

    The choice seems to be either surrender and wait for the collapse or lose their comfort, be arrested, or
    get killed.

    Americans are like the Soviets now. Everything is illegal and tyranny won so why bother doing anything?
