MAINSTREAM MEDA: FULL ATTACK BEFORE TRUMP -- BIDEN DEBATE
In an effort to distract people’s attention from tomorrow’s Trump-Biden debate, the mainstream media, led by the anti-Trump Drudge Report, throws mud against the wall, starting with the release of allegedly confidential tax returns leaked by anonymous sources to the New York Times.
One, it seems curious to me that the New York Times, the mainstream paper of record that published anonymously-sourced lies, without retraction after exposure, is taken to be a credible source. When the paper refuses to show the Trump Organization the tax returns in question, can the New York Times be trusted? Apparently not -- given their reporting on the Nazi Holocaust, Stalin’s massacre of Ukrainians, and the massive falsehoods released during the Obama Administration’s SPYGATE affair.
Two, it should surprise nobody that the opening salvo fired by the New York Times was picked up by the Drudge Report, which serves as the lazy reporter’s idea source for news and feature stories.
Three, it all looks so credible, “WATCHDOG CLAIMS CAMPAIGN ‘LAUNDERING’ MONEY” and linking to a seemingly credible establishment financial news source like Forbes.
Nonpartisan Watchdog Accuses Trump Campaign Of ‘Laundering’ $170 MillionTOPLINE The Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan campaign finance watchdog group, filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission Tuesday accusing the Trump campaign of “laundering” $170 million through numerous companies, some with connections to former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale. |
But it all falls apart when you find that the Campaign Legal Center, billed as a nonpartisan campaign finance watchdog group, is one of those progressive socialist democrat hit sites…

Litigation and Advocacy Organization The Campaign Legal Center is an advocacy group aligned with left-of-center interests that supports strict enforcement of campaign finance laws. Legal Center attorneys track and participate in a variety of cases around the country involving campaign finance law at the federal, state, and local levels.

JASON JAFFERY Jason Jaffery serves as the chief development officer of the CLC. Jaffery previously worked as the director of development at the left-of-center Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).

Bottom line…
Not exactly the fair and impartial source you might expect.
But, look at the facts:
(1) A debt load of $421 million in a billion-dollar real-estate empire is a pittance, even if this was the correct amount he may be obligated to pay. Most real estate operations are highly-leveraged using debt as the lever. Tax "avoidance" is smart, whereas tax evasion is criminal. Trump does not do his own taxes and employs professional tax attorneys and accountants. Trump donates his salary to charity and most of the deductions were created by Obama's rules and regulations.
(2) The timing is suspect since the Internal Revenue Service and various state taxing authorities have had the real documents for years and have mounted formidable audit efforts.
(3) A look at the Soros and progressive funding sources behind this so-called nonpartisan watchdog tell a far different story.
(4) But the real kicker is – considering what President Trump has done for America and ALL Americans, his crimes, if any, will never match the crimes of President Obama and Hillary Clinton, who sold-out America to IRAN and the RUSSIANS while mounting the most massive, most extensive cover-up in the history of the United States.
I call bullshit.
