Founder of Racket News Matt Taibbi weighs in on the prospect of a possible second Donald Trump presidency.
Short Summary
- The video transcript discusses the intelligence community’s concerns about a potential second term for Donald Trump and how it could lead to the politicization of intelligence agencies.
- Investigative journalist Matt Taibbi’s recent reporting reveals that the CIA may have concealed evidence that Russia favored Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
- The government is allegedly hiding documents that implicate the intelligence community in illegal spying and election tampering.
- Taibbi’s investigation suggests that Russia may have seen Clinton as a more manageable candidate, contrary to the narrative that Russia favored Trump.
- The importance of considering the mixed picture of intelligence assessments and the potential manipulation of information for political purposes is highlighted.
- Concerns are raised about potential bias of intelligence agencies towards Democrats and against Trump, questioning whether Trump’s potential second term would actually threaten them.
- The discussion also draws parallels to the WMD episode in 2002, suggesting that intelligence assessments can be manipulated to fit desired conclusions.
- Caution is urged in believing reports of future election interference without concrete proof, and criticism is directed towards the politicization of intelligence agencies.
This is Russian fabricated, disinformation ground work for a post election narrative that sows the seeds of doubt about Russian interference; obsfucates the actual bad actors in all of this; and the fomenting of another rightwing insurrection in the US. Taibbi has offered no evidence and is clearly aligned with the GRU 2014-2018 program goals (Czech depot ,Salisbury, US 2016 election, et al). Why is there no mention of the Russian unmonitored “tour” of the White House by Trump post 2016 election? The visitation of GOP senators to Russia on July 4th 2018? I mean, really?!
These are journalists that are the first to break the news, that legacy media then catches on to, they all have legacy media experience then went independent.
Similar to when Hamas was accused of mass sexual violence on Oct 7th 2023, which was the status quo narrative until independent journalists countered and looked for evidence.
As well as the IDF sexual violence coverups against Palestinians, which independent journalists uncovered.
I would still consider their viewpoints, aside from just believing everything legacy media and the government says to keep the status quo.
