The official Democrat story is that Ukranian interference is ‘discredited’ or ‘Russian propaganda’. The Media(D) are dutifully repeating it, even though they know it isn’t true.

The same media that once bleated about Trump being a ‘danger’ to journalists is now throwing one of the few honest journalists out there under the bus because what he’s digging up hurts the Democrat narrative.

John Solomon. This is the guy who has been spot-on in what was really going on with the Russian Collusion hoax when the ‘reputable’ journalists were getting Pulitzers for perpetuating the Russian Collusion narrative that Mueller himself shot all to Hell.

Fiona Hill suggested my Ukraine stories were Russian propaganda. If she’s such an expert she would know my main character Yuriy Lutsenko was a political prisoner of the Russian backed Yanukovych regime and the US pleaded for his release and applauded his appointment as prosecutor

The very same people so busy trying to discredit Solomon’s reporting are the external sources we can point to in support of it.

President Donald Trump’s former top Russia aide sparred with Republican lawmakers on Thursday, accusing them of emboldening Moscow by pushing a “fictional narrative” that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 presidential election.

In her opening statement before House impeachment investigators, Fiona Hill said lawmakers were weaponizing “falsehoods” that advance Russian interests and distract from its aggression in eastern Europe and around the world.

“I refuse to be part of an effort to legitimize an alternate narrative that the Ukrainian government is a U.S. adversary, and that Ukraine — not Russia — attacked us in 2016,” Hill told the House Intelligence Committee in its seventh public impeachment hearing

“These fictions are harmful even if they are deployed for purely domestic political purposes,” added Hill, a longtime Russia hawk.

They couched it in the appropriate scare quotes, but you’d think that Politico would be familiar with their own story — especially since it’s been cited (and dismissed by Dems as though it’s Russian propaganda) in these very proceedings.
