The media seems to be angry that DJT junior was willing to hear damaging oppo research on Hillary.
The “collusion” that Donald Trump Jr. engaged in was an eagerness to potentially uncover an October surprise, something that Barrack Obama built his career on.
Flashback:
…that’s how Obama became a U.S. senator. He destroyed both his Democratic primary opponent and his Republican general election opponent with salacious allegations about their personal lives taken from “sealed” court records.
Let’s take a romp down memory lane and review the typical Obama campaign strategy. Obama became a U.S. senator only by virtue of David Axelrod’s former employer, the Chicago Tribune, ripping open the sealed divorce records of Obama’s two principal opponents.
One month before the 2004 Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate, Obama was down in the polls, about to lose to Blair Hull, a multimillionaire securities trader. But then the Chicago Tribune leaked the claim that Hull’s second ex-wife, Brenda Sexton, had sought an order of protection against him during their 1998 divorce proceedings.
Those records were under seal, but as The New York Times noted: “The Tribune reporter who wrote the original piece later acknowledged in print that the Obama camp had ‘worked aggressively behind the scenes’ to push the story.” Many people said Axelrod had “an even more significant role — that he leaked the initial story.”
Both Hull and his ex-wife opposed releasing their sealed divorce records, but they finally relented in response to the media’s hysteria — 18 days before the primary. Hull was forced to spend four minutes of a debate detailing the abuse allegation in his divorce papers, explaining that his ex-wife “kicked me in the leg and I hit her shin to try to get her to not continue to kick me.”
Ryan would have walloped Obama in the Senate race. But at the request of — again — the Chicago Tribune, California Judge Robert Schnider unsealed the custody papers in Ryan’s divorce five years earlier from Hollywood starlet Jeri Lynn Ryan, the bombshell Borg on “Star Trek: Voyager.”
Jack Ryan had released his tax records. He had released his divorce records. But both he and his ex-wife sought to keep the custody records under seal to protect their son.
Amid the 400 pages of filings from the custody case, Jack Ryan claimed that his wife had had an affair, and she counterclaimed with the allegation that he had taken her to “sex clubs” in Paris, New York and New Orleans, which drove her to fall in love with another man.
(Republicans: If you plan a career in public office, please avoid marrying a wacko.)
Ryan had vehemently denied her allegations at the time, but it didn’t matter. The sex club allegations aired on “Entertainment Tonight,” “NBC Nightly News,” ABC’s “Good Morning America,” “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno,” and NBC’s “Today” show. CNN covered the story like it was the first moon landing.
Talk about an, “oh look, Squirrel” moment.
The MEDIA?????
Democratic operatives with bylines
We picked Trump in part because we were looking for a street-fighter. How this story is supposed to disappoint us, other than no dirt on the hag was acquired, I fail to understand. But y’all keep f–king that chicken, Journos.
I refuse to blame Jeri Ryan. That was a He said, She said, that both wanted kept out of public record. Obama, the Democrats, and an ass wipe of a judge are to blame, period. I’ll stand corrected, if there is proof She pointed Obama’s people in that direction.
Leftist media candidate reverse order of preference:
– No preference in any case: Traitorous black male conservative Republican
– White male Republican
– Black female Republican
– White female Republican
– Black female Democrat
– Average black male Democrat
– White female Democrat
– White male Democrat
– Messianic political figure: Black male Democrat bullshit artist
Yet the media ignored the allegations behind “Bath House Barry”. He took it up the ass and got a mainstream media pass.
Chicago Tribune is no Russia
I just want to know why Obama has a social security number 042-68-4425 with a state code of Connecticut. He couldn’t pass a background check to get a job mowing the lawn at the White House with that nonsense.
Silly Question, why was nobody ever prosecuted? if you break the law and our democratic to get a pass?
That was a comedic election. After all the Ryan bullshit went down, Alan Keyes tried to save us from Zer0 about 2 weeks before the polls opened.
Yes. But. They were men. And white. And (passably) hetero. And didn’t have the decency to kill themselves and leave everything to their wives. When their wives tired of their sh!t. It would have been better if The One had arranged for them to be raped to death by a bear. But he wasn’t a Nobel Prize winner, yet. so. You know… SMASH THE PATRIARCHY!
I remember reading about this. They had to go searching for a Demcrat judge who would sell out and wouldn’t you know it they found one in California. The corrupt judge ordered the papers opened and then resigned/retired very shortly thereafter. I don’t know if the sob is still alive but it sure would be interesting to go through his finances.
Speaking of crooked jusdges this reminds me of the California gay marriage case where the gays (I think it was the gays) sued to have Proposition 8 (gay marriage ban in California) overturned. The Judge assigned the case was gay but swore he had nothing to gain or lose in his judgement and could be strictly impartial so he kept the case. Anyway, the trial comes, the Judge rules Prop 8 unconstitutional (or illegal whatever) then promptly resigns, marries his boyfriend legally now and buggers off to Arizona or New Mexico or someplace. Now the SCOTUS later upheld his decision however he lied when he said he had nothing to gain and he should have refused the case. But he was a Democrat so I guess that’s ok. Fill those judicial vacancies Mr. President and fill then with honest Judges that want to enforce the law not make new law.
Obambi never actually won an election. Every single one he was ever in involved shenanigans similar or worse. Of course anybody with two or more neurons firing in their brain knows about the 100% of the vote with turnouts of a 115% of his presidential elections but stabbing his mentor in the back to get her disqualified from his first election is something I have read about but don’t hear about much.
@ thirdtwin
How do you suppose it happened that no dirt on the hag was acquired? Carlos Danger had dirt on the hag. Anybody with mediocre hacking skills could have had dirt on the hag if they were interested. I would bet the Russian government was interested so why would they setup a meeting to disclose dirt on Haggery and not provide even a speck? Strange!
