The prosecution and guilty plea of the "informant" who spread those false claims has received little attention.

This is how disinformation works.

Reposted from Brad Heath

Remember the FBI informant who claimed President Biden took millions in bribes from Burisma?

He admitted today in federal court that he made the whole thing up.

And that he started spinning new lies after meeting with Russian intelligence.

They served their purpose. Don’t expect an apology from cult members. These idiots are going to get what they deserve. Just unfortunate that a lot of innocent people are going to suffer for their stupidity.

Making that pardon look better and better.

The Big Lie travels 20 leagues before the true story has pulled its boots on.

pinky420.bsky.social•71 days ago

I haven’t heard anything at all about it on MSM. Are they even reporting on it?

iyellatclouds.bsky.social•71 days ago

*GASP* You mean Republican Congress members were helping the Russians?

debhu.bsky.social•69 days ago

And false claims info not on MSM

When liberals tell the truth....the Right screams that those are lies. When the Right lies.....it gets spread everywhere like poisonous Nutella.

hoopbears.bsky.social•71 days ago

Good to know - but the more important question is:

How does FIGHTING AND ENDING misinformation work?

maggyw.bsky.social•71 days ago

It’s really hard. That why GOP depends on smears.

lisamoran.bsky.social•71 days ago

Yet you won’t hear anything about this on cable news. So infuriating how the lies are batted about for years and the truth gets a big fat zero from our media.

....and not a peep in Corporate Media.

dickius.bsky.social•71 days ago

That’s not a very nice way to talk about someone who will be a Deputy Assistant Attorney General before Valentine’s Day.

He needs severely punished! This was a real conspiracy involving the ring leader the corrupt Rep Comer, (Cromer Crime Family) Gym Jordan, and several lawyers connected to trump, the informants handlers at the FBI additionally need charged

bretonlioness3.bsky.social•71 days ago

How is this not treason? And punishable as such?

mlco.bsky.social•71 days ago

Members of Congress who pursued the Biden should be impeached

They showed lack of judgment but mostly they showed they are after political opponents and they are there to hide the truth

polksalad.bsky.social•71 days ago

So there is no law that prevents lying, especially under oath and to legal types-cops, lawyers,judges,God-when lives and reputations are being destroyed short of defamation, cause we all see how effective that is?

The media is complicit. They want drama, not truth. They thrive in chaos, not order. Almost all media is now WWE meets Jerry Springer.

kcds.bsky.social•71 days ago

Yes, but “the media” is not a monolithic entity. The agenda is set from the top, and at the top of every media platform is a right-wing billionaire. Do the math.

billyclub13.bsky.social•71 days ago

Still the medias fault. If you work for someone asking you to lie and be unethical then you don’t work for that person.

robinbrenizer.bsky.social•71 days ago

We are living a nightmare

maggyw.bsky.social•71 days ago

Wasn’t it already established he was not reliable ?

maggyw.bsky.social•71 days ago

That’s treason.

streamjumper.bsky.social•71 days ago

I hope at least Hunter and a team of experienced lawyers paid enough attention to this to make sure it becomes a very uncomfortable and expensive experience for a lot of people.

Like, ungodly amounts of discomfort and expense for a huge number of people.

bletchley.bsky.social•71 days ago

There was nothing about the lies on the front pages of the NY Times or WaPo

bonjohnson.bsky.social•71 days ago

Tell me again how Hunter's pardon was wrong.

Hint: It wasn't.

grobielauren.bsky.social•71 days ago

A Chicago politician who isn't corrupt is more shocking than the fact all of this was made up.

Sadly, the effort to beat back these lies and prove truths is high, the effort to lie and spread mistruths is low and they can spread quickly. Truth doesn't stand a chance to repeated attempts of misinformation.

garysnyder.bsky.social•71 days ago

Not one to take the trumpets away, I'd simply offer we ask to see the 'sheet music' from which these disinformation agents get their scripts. Seems like that might be helpful, w/in the law & even the patriotic thing to do. America's sick, she needs medicine. I sure hope she's insured w/ a good PPO.

kauaiarts.bsky.social•71 days ago

Who paid him?

maggyw.bsky.social•71 days ago

GOP.

mdgbrkr.bsky.social•71 days ago

Why doesn't the media ever cover real news?

shortseller.bsky.social•71 days ago

they covered it, they knew he lied only difference is he finally admitted it

soonergrunt.bsky.social•71 days ago

well, @washingtonpost.com and @nytimes.com both reported the allegations with at best oblique references to them maybe possibly being false, and they damn sure aren't going to admit they got taken now.
And there's plenty of reason to believe they weren't actually taken, but knew what the truth was.

maggyw.bsky.social•71 days ago

I thought it was well known that informant was fos
