Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, July 26, 2025

January 6 has become a date of hallowed pagan sacredness to the ruling class " a supposed talisman marking chaos, a shorthand for "threats to democracy." But the media, predictably, has focused on the wrong January. And the wrong threat. Because the real January 6 " the one that changed everything " wasn't in 2021. It happened four years earlier, in 2017. Not at the Capitol, but rather in a glass-walled conference room on the 26th floor of Trump Tower. That morning, President-elect Donald J. Trump received a classified briefing from top intelligence officials " a routine, transitional step for any incoming commander in chief. But what he got wasn't intelligence. It was a malicious setup, a trap.

"... the poisoned seed to grow the entire Russian collusion hoax."

lmao! Article is hysterical lying build on a different lie; as the Republican-led Senate Investigation concluded, Russian collusion was a fact, not a hoax.

The author of the linked article, Steve Cortes, is a former Trump advisor and ant-vaxxer who is so much of a crackpot he got fired by Newsmax.

No, we've got The Rubio Report.

We also lived through lie after lie claiming NO Russian contacts, when in reality Team Trump had over a hundred contacts.

If there wasn't collusion, it wasn't for lack of trying.

This is the mindhives talking point.

Which we now know was predicated on a pile of evidence that was manufactured.

Did Trump fall into the trap?

Or is what is being alleged is that the Mass Media fell into the so-called trap aka the Russian Collusion Hoax.

Thanks for clarifying.

What a riot.

Nothing released undercuts or disproves what was admitted in The Rubio Report.

Did you not read it, or did you not understand it?

" This is the mindhives talking point."

Of course it is. It's a Republican Statement Against Interest, meaning they wouldn't have admitted everything unless the evidence forced them to admit it.

But look at all the water carriers, willing to lie about what Republicans ADMITTED!

You may have moved the needle a little bit if it weren't for the fact that Hillary/The DNC paid fines totaling $113,000 for their part in the hoax. I'll still listen to people like Cortez until the FEC fines them for election interference.

And just for the record, it was labeled as campaign finance law violation for spending money on the act itself, but we all know that the end result was election interference.
