Mediaboss Marketing

So there you have it.

Russiagate, the collective delusion that Donald Trump was secretly a Russian agent aided and abetted by the Kremlin, the topic of uncountable inches of Washington Post and New York Times copy and the entire primetime lineup of MSNBC, was a dirty trick by the Hillary Clinton campaign. Not just part of it. All of it. One of the most diabolical, successful misinformation campaigns ever concocted.

We already knew that the Steele dossier was garbage. Christopher Steele was paid indirectly by the Clinton campaign to dig up dirt, which he did by turning to other Clinton operatives, laundering every outlandish rumor about Trump he could find into an investigative document.

He shopped it to the FBI, which couldnt verify his sources or any of his stories, but the agency dragged out the investigation to cast maximum suspicion on the new president. In the meantime, Steele found willing accomplices in the media to push his propaganda. The dupes at BuzzFeed even decided to print the whole pack of lies, with the flimsy rationale of Well, why not?

We got to the point where New York magazine was running a cover story that was one long piece of fan fiction that Trump was secretly a real-life version of The Americans, a sleeper agent now seated in the highest office in the land. The Times and Washington Post won a freaking Pulitzer!

Now another piece of Russia, Russia, Russia is kaputski. A computer server operated by Trumps company was secretly communicating with a Russian firm, claimed Slate magazine and endless Twitter threads of would-be tech experts.

But as outlined in his latest indictment, special counsel John Durham believes that was just a story made up by tech executive Rodney Joffe, who desperately wanted a job with the Clinton administration. He monitored and cherry-picked privileged Internet data he had access to, and molded it to look like something nefarious.

He was coached by lawyer Michael Sussmann who was being paid by the Clinton administration, although he lied about that to investigators. Sussmann goes to the FBI as a concerned citizen not a Clinton stooge to try to get them to bite. The ultimate goal: Be able to leak to the Times that Trump is under official investigation.

Durham definitely showed that the Hillary Clinton campaign directly funded and ordered its lawyers at Perkins Coie to orchestrate a criminal enterprise to fabricate a connection between President Trump and Russia, says Kash Patel, the former chief investigator for the House Intelligence Committee.

Of course, Hillary didnt get what she wanted the presidency. But her operatives didnt stop, going on CNN to give very concerned interviews about a theory they knew was bull. All to undermine Trumps presidency. It would take three years for the Mueller report to finally put the lie to rest, and were now, five years out, at the point where Durham is detailing the full conspiracy.

If this had happened to a Democrat, the press would be losing its mind. A candidate for president weaponized the nations Justice Department to pursue an investigation into their political opponent based on what they knew were lies. Americans were wiretapped! Some were entrapped for flimsy claims of perjury. The director of the FBI went into the Oval Office to tell the president that there was a sexual rumor floating around, so that it could be promptly leaked to the media. Outrageous doesnt cover it. And still no shame from Hillary Clinton and her supporters, because its Donald Trump anything is fair game to take him down.

All these things weve been lectured about over the past four years: Norms being broken, internet misinformation, perversion of government it was all happening. It was the Democrats who were doing it. Think anyone in the left-wing media will notice?

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with ridicule on Twitter Tuesday after asking her followers for movie suggestions she or her husband could watch while they quarantine at home following her positive COVID-19 diagnosis.

"Well, I've tested positive for COVID," Clinton, 74, wrote in a tweet. "I've got some mild cold symptoms but am feeling fine."

HILLARY CLINTON TESTS POSITIVE FOR COVID-19

In another tweet, Clinton noted that her husband, former President Bill Clinton, 75, tested negative and is also in quarantine until the "household is fully in the clear."

"Bill tested negative and is feeling fine," she wrote. "He's quarantining until our household is fully in the clear. Movie recommendations appreciated!"

Juanita Broaddrick, who has publicly accused Bill Clinton of raping her in 1978 while he was attorney general of Arkansas, urged the former first lady to give her husband her book about the alleged incident instead of watching a movie.

"Maybe give him a book to read," Broaddrick wrote, along with a picture of the book "Some Ice on That: How I Survived Being Raped by Bill Clinton."

Many users, such as comedian Tim Dillon, recommended that the Clintons watch "Primary Colors," a 1998 film starring John Travolta. The movie, directed by Mike Nichols, was based loosely on Clinton's 1992 run for the White House and features a charismatic politician with a wandering eye whose wife is very ambitious.

Others recommended "The Plot Against the President," a documentary from filmmaker Amanda Milius that purports to present evidence of a conspiracy against former President Trump.

"Murder she wrote," tweeted Turning Point USA chief creative officer Benny Johnson.

Many users, including Republican New York City Council member Joe Borelli, recommended that the former secretary of state watch "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi," a 2016 action film starring John Krasinski that recounted the harrowing 2012 attack against the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Clinton faced intense criticism at the time for the Obama administration's response to the attack, which led to the death of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stephens at the hands of Islamic radicals.

"How is each and every single response not Impeachment: American Crime Story," asked journalist Aura Bogado, echoing many other users. The latest season of the FX series recounted the Monica Lewinsky scandal, which led to Clinton's impeachment in 1998.

Journalist Kyle Becker tweeted simply: "The Guilty."

Hillary Clinton trolled on Twitter after requesting movie ...

Hillary Clinton has tested positive for COVID-19, she tweeted Tuesday. The 74-year-old former secretary of state said that she is experiencing "some mild cold symptoms" but said she is "feeling fine."

"I'm more grateful than ever for the protection vaccines can provide against serious illness," Clinton added. "Please get vaccinated and boosted if you haven't already!"

Clinton said that her husband, former President Bill Clinton, 75, has tested negative, adding that he will quarantine "until our household is fully in the clear."

Clinton is the latest of several political figures to have recently tested positive for the virus. Last week, former President Barack Obama announced that he had tested positive as well. He said at the time that he was "feeling fine" other than a scratchy throat.

On Tuesday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced a positive test. In a statement, Psaki said she had two "socially-distanced" meetings with President Biden one day earlier, but said he is not considered a close contact based on CDC guidelines. Mr. Biden tested negative on Tuesday, Psaki said. This is the press secretary's second bout with COVID-19, having announced a positive test back in October 2021.

COVID-19 cases in the U.S. have fallen sharply over the past two months as the surge caused by the Omicron variant appears to have ebbed. But cases are rising again in the U.K., thanks in part to the Omicron subvariant BA.2.

However, former FDA commissioner and current Pfizer board member Dr. Scott Gottlieb told "Face the Nation" on Sunday that he doesn't expect a "big wave" of new infections in the U.S., even as mask mandates and other restrictions meant to help slow the spread of the virus continue to be dropped throughout the country.

"We have nine cases per 100,000 people per day. Those are levels that we haven't seen since last June," Gottlieb said. "There are about 20,000 people thousand currently hospitalized. And I think we're going to continue to see low levels of infection through the summer. But before we get there, we're probably going to see some tick-up of infection like the Europeans are seeing right now, maybe not as pronounced."

Hillary Clinton says she has tested positive for COVID-19 ...

Hillary Clinton has tested positive for COVID-19, she announced Tuesday on Twitter.

The former secretary of state and 2016 Democratic presidential candidate said she has mild cold symptoms but is otherwise feeling fine, adding shes grateful for the protection from the COVID-19 vaccine.

Her husband, former President Bill Clinton, has tested negative and has no symptoms, she added.

The diagnosis for Hillary Clinton, 74, is the latest in a flurry of cases among high-profile politicians and other Washington figures.

Her announcement comes just over a week after former President Barack Obama, whom she vied against for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, announced hed tested positive for the virus. He also reported mild symptoms and said this should serve as a reminder to get vaccinated if you havent already, even as cases go down.

Earlier on Tuesday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said she, too, had tested positive for COVID-19, as had second gentleman Doug Emhoff last week.

New cases and hospitalizations are down across the country after a winter surge in the omicron variant, but the U.S. is expected to soon surpass 1 million deaths from the virus. Only 65% of the population has been fully vaccinated, and a mere 29% have received a booster dose despite urging by public health officials.

Hillary Clinton's attempt to get movie recommendations from Twitter backfired when she was trolled with an array of Benghazi and Jeffrey Epstein references.

Clinton revealed on Twitter that she has tested positive for COVID and is suffering with "mild cold symptoms" but is "feeling fine."

While she's quarantining inside, the former First Lady asked her followers for movie recommendations, but received a mixed bag of genuine suggestions and conservative trolling.

Many Twitter followers brought up movies and documentaries to remind Clinton of the 2012 Benghazi attack and to her alleged links to Epstein.

After asking for movie suggestions while she rides out her bout of COVID-19, thousands of people replied to Clinton with earnest recommendations, including the official Netflix account.

And, many conservatives saw the opportunity to take a shot at the former Democratic Presidential candidate.

Dozens of people replied with the movie poster for the 2016 action film 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi starring John Krasinski.

The Michael Bay movie is a biographical war flick following the soldiers of Annex Security Team who fought to defend the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2022.

Users like @Marquisdelaffy1 wrote simply "This is a good one" and @OneGoodMan77 wrote "Here's one for you." @BigSteve207 seemed to get in there first and received almost 1,500 likes for telling Clinton "You should watch "13 Hours"."

Other responses intended to troll Clinton referenced other aspects of her career. Conspiracy theories have previously linked the convicted sex offender Epstein with Bill and Hillary Clinton, with Ted Cruz referencing the rumors on Twitter as recently as last month.

Verified Twitter user @Mcshane_writes and user @wet_dad both left an image of the Netflix documentary series Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich underneath Clinton's recommendation. They both received over 100 likes for their jokes.

Republican author Buzz Patterson also gained attention for his response to Clinton's request for movies.

He told her to watch 2008 documentary Hillary the Movie, and to read the 1997 book, Dereliction of Duty: Lyndon Johnson, Robert McNamara, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Lies That Led to Vietnam.

Right-wingers and right-leaning political commentators are bringing up the movie 13 Hours as it's based around the 2012 Benghazi attack, in which four Americans died.

As Secretary of State at the time, Clinton was accused of being responsible for the security lapses which led to the attack by a Libyan Islamic militant group.

While Hillary has tested positive for COVID-19, she confirmed that her husband, former President Bill Clinton has tested negative and is currently quarantining until the household is "fully in the clear."
