Minority Leader Schumer Knowingly Lies About Trump/Russia

That is beyond ridiculous and merely right wing hysteria brought on by hyperbolic partisanship since the Constitution allows no such thing and we all know it.

Please tell me where in the Constitution prohibits whatever your point is.

I'm aware Hillary will never be President. I'm not sure if all liberals are.

Don't we get a couple posters here daily that claim that Hillary won the election since she got more meaningless votes?
 
btw - I went back and read the OP and the article and at no time does there appear a quote from Schumer saying PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP is under investigation for colluding with the Russians as you claimed.

Are you getting this supposed quote from some other source you can identify?

He referred to "Presidents" being under investigation. He compared Trump...as President...to Obama...as President.

I provided the quote in a subsequent post in this thread.

Glad you clarified that Schumer never said what you attributed to him.
 
And what do you think that point is?

I have no idea. That is not unusual with your posts.

Why, instead of attempting coyness, don't you elaborate?

Schumer said it on the Senate floor and also on MSNBC. I believe the Senate is a source you can identify, and I know that Maddow is one you can. Take your pick, but there's absolutely no question Schumer said exactly what has been claimed in the OP. Now, if you want to claim that anybody associated with Trump in any way qualifies as "Trump", then it would be logical to assume that anybody associated with the Trump opposition should also be so treated. In that case, certainly everybody on the left is guilty of the ball field incident. Do you really want to make such loose associations your mantra?

It is the job, the responsibility, the duty of the person making to the claim to substantiate it. I have no responsibility to do so beyond checking the OP and the article contained in it - which did NOT contain the alleged quote.

sigh...

I clarified no such thing. In fact, I've already proven that Schumer deliberately lied for political purposes. Of course, none of the leftwing cares...anymore than they cared when Reid deliberately lied about Romney. "It worked, didn't it?"

We know that Michael Flynn is currently under criminal investigation and we also know that Trump is now under investigation for Obstruction of Justice.

Here is an 8 minute FOX News Video--where Shep Smith discloses that Trump surrogates were not only on the phone with the Russian ambassador but with Russian intelligence agents including the very day that Russia was hacking into DNC databases.

This while the Trump administration previously denied that any of their surrogates had any contact with Russians during the campaign season.

It's really not looking good. In fact James Clapper stated this is much worse than Watergate.

You still have NOT presented any quote from Schumer saying what was alleged here.
 
It shouldn't be too hard for the OP to cite exactly what Schumer said, the date and place he said it, and a [reputable] link for verification. NYT/CNN/ABC/NBC/CBS/BBC/WaPo/LATimes/AP/Reuters/ etc.

And no, the Alt-right blog of Milo Yiannopoulos isn't a reputable/unbiased source. Neither is the right wingnut National Review.
 
Where's the MSM's outrage on this? Why wasn't/isn't a constant leading story on the news? I do not and will not trust the media to tell us everything, without bias, regardless of network.

Oh, and Schumer should be ousted for his part.


Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has blasted Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for knowingly lying about Trump being under investigation for ties to Russia.


Grassley, in a statement delivered to the Senate Floor, stated that way back in March, then-FBI Director James Comey told him and seven other Senate and House members, including Schumer, that President Donald Trump was not under investigation.

Schumer, however, continued to lie to the media, telling them the President was under investigation.

“That helped feed the media hysteria,” said Grassley.

“The Minority Leader even tried to say that the Senate shouldn’t vote on the Supreme Court nomination because the president was under investigation. And the whole time, he knew it wasn’t true.”

As an example, Schumer told reporters on March 21, “there is a cloud now hanging over the head of the president, and while that’s happening, to have a lifetime appointment made by this president seems very unseemly and there ought to be a delay.” Media hysteria ensued.

“Countless media articles falsely claimed the president was under investigation for colluding with Russia,” Grassley said in his statement.

“Over and over again, the media published selective leaks. They published classified half-truths. All this was used to make false allegations of sinister conduct by the president. And a lot of people believed it.”

“After a year of the entire might of the U.S. intelligence community and the FBI looking for evidence of collusion with the Russians, where is it?” he asked.

“Unfortunately, now it looks like Mr. Comey and the media might be doing the same thing to Attorney General Sessions.”

“Here we go again. The rumor mill is back in business. It’s insinuating improper ties with Russians and undermining people’s faith in another senior government official,” said Grassley on the current media hysteria over Jeff Sessions due to Comey suggesting that the FBI knew something about the Attorney General that they couldn’t disclose publically.

Umm... you rebut yourself well:

:applaud Excellent spin!
 
Your "MSM" and entire media machine is nothing but multinational corporate owned state TV, the whole thing.

I really wish your posts would make sense instead of being so cryptic. What do you mean "your"

Then move on and don't engage. My main point was media bias. Everyone else seems to be up to date regarding Schumer's statements.

The thread is about media bias in not reporting Schumer's lies.
 
It shouldn't be too hard for the OP to cite exactly what Schumer said, the date and place he said it, and a [reputable] link for verification. NYT/CNN/ABC/NBC/CBS/BBC/WaPo/LATimes/AP/Reuters/ etc.

FFS, the thread is about the biased media. Find your own link.

Did you say "reputable"? Did you say "unbiased"?

:rofl

I will challenge undocumented and unsupported claims whenever they are made and I see fit.

I notice you are unable to provide the statement in question. Which exposes this thread for what it is.

Just so you quit whining, here is one of many.

“You can bet that if the shoe was on the other foot ― and a Democratic president was under investigation by the FBI ― that Republicans would be howling at the moon about filling a Supreme Court seat in such circumstances,” Schumer added. “After all, they stopped a president who wasn’t under investigation from filling a seat with nearly a year left in his presidency.”

Now can we address the bias in the media?

So where is proof of that?
 
Trump is everything and nothing. As Trump has clearly achieved deity status by his detractors, they are quite comfortable projecting their wildest thoughts onto him. When one mentions the word "Trump" it can mean anything you want it to be: such is his all encompassing power and presence.

Do the deractors plan on building any churches dedicated to him?

Trump tweeted that he was being investigated. Was that another of his lies?
