Do you know how to tell when a bombshell story is really a dud? When it’s broken by either the WaPo or the New York Times or just about any other liberal mainstream news source.

Yesterday afternoon was Bombshell-a-Palooza over at both of these publishers (no, I won’t call them new sources, because both have shown themselves, repeatedly, to be anything but).

Here are the four stories the WaPo and the NYT breathlessly reported yesterday, all of which dominated headlines nationwide:

1. Secretary of State Pompeo was on the now-infamous Ukraine phone call. Ok. And? So were a number of other folks, as witnessed by the fact that we have a full transcript of the discussion. It’s not surprising that the Secretary of State would participate given that Obama’s State Department is shown to have been heavily involved in concocting the Russian Collusion yarn. I don’t know about you, but I’m hoping Secretary Pompeo is looking into it.
2. Rudy Giuliani’s Ukraine documents subpoenaed by Congress. Like, oh, my gerd! We must subpoena Mr. Giuliani’s Ukraine-centered documents, because…well, he’s dragging our preferred presidential candidate (whose shown no propensity for transparency, mind you) through the qui-pro-Joe mud. In Adam Schiff’s eyes, sedition is just fine and dandy, but don’t you dare attempt to investigate its origins on behalf of your client. Sure, Trump perhaps should have left Biden’s name out of that classified conversation with the Ukrainian president that’s now kitchen-table fodder; but nonetheless, Mr. Biden is either the most clueless Veep in American history, or he’s knee-deep in said sedition. Either way, the American people deserve answers as to his involvement in both the Russia Collusion Hoax and his son’s Ukrainian (and Chinese!) escapades.
3. Trump asked the Australia prime minister to assist AG Barr in investigating the origins of the Mueller probe. Well, that’s in dispute, New York Times (shocking that they may have the story wrong, isn’t it?). But even IF the story is accurate, so the hell what? Firstly, it’s not news. Secondly, are the liberal activists posing as journalists over at the WaPo/NYT aware that evidence was unearthed quite some time ago that shows multiple foreign nations were involved in trying to prevent a Trump presidency? Is it not appropriate to ask them for help in investigating that? By the way, I’d say given Mrs. Clinton’s sudden appearance on the scene, again, making excuses for her 2016 shellacking, and labeling President Trump “illegitimate,” tells me Mr. Barr et al are over the target.

Ahem:

A Department of Justice team led by U.S. Attorney John Durham is separately exploring the extent to which a number of countries, including Ukraine, played a role in the counterintelligence investigation directed at the Trump campaign during the 2016 election. While the Attorney General has yet to contact Ukraine in connection with this investigation, certain Ukrainians who are not members of the government have volunteered information to Mr. Durham, which he is evaluating.”

4. “Attorney General Barr personally asked foreign officials to aid inquiry into CIA, FBI activities in 2016.” This is a bombshell…why, WaPo? Again, is it odd for an attorney general to ask “foreign officials” to assist in helping investigate what birthed the biggest hoax in American political history? Well, if you believe anything that comes out of the Negative Nancy Washington Post, it must be. I mean, how dare Barr do his job! Russian collusion probes are soooo yesterday’s news; you know, back when their hero, Robert Mueller, was conducting them. It’s almost as if…they’re trying to bury the truth…

Current and former intelligence and law enforcement officials expressed frustration and alarm that Barr was taking such a direct role in re-examining what they view as conspiracy theories and baseless allegations of misconduct https://t.co/uDubOVEdDB

Baseless? Sure. That’s why McCabe, Comey and a fistful of others were either canned or forced to resign from said agencies. Great objective journalisming there, WaPo. Would those “current and former intelligence and law enforcement officials” have surnames like Brennan, Clapper, McCabe, Comey, etc etc etc? Remember, the results of that FISA abuse investigation are dropping soon. What’s in that report might help explain some of the nutty news hysteria we’ve witnessing as of late. Whatever it is, we can rely on the liberal-dominated media to ignore it.

Meanwhile, THIS will not be something you hear the Rachel Maddows of the land utter a single word about (by the way, you know you’re mired in partisan hackery when you’re being pummeled by the likes of BILL MAHER):

So you see: at least TWO of those who point their fingers at Trump 24/7 and screech about COLLUSION!!! and #QUID PRO QUO!!! are themselves ON RECORDINGS seemingly doing just that.

So yeah, while liberal “news” outlets continue providing cover for their preferred party (they care not about corruption; they care about regaining power), their long knives are out for Attorney General Barr, Secretary of State Pompeo, and of course the president’s personal attorney, Mr. Giuliani, all in a coordinated effort to de-legitimize and thus neutralize those who are inching closer to the true origins of the Russian Collusion Hoax and the still-ongoing soft-coup attempt.

It’s clear that the liberal-dominated press are nothing more than complicit water-carriers for those who’ve tried for years to unseat our duly-elected president. And it’s clear they are hell-bent on shaping public opinion in favor of impeaching a president whose only real sin is wanting to investigate the corruption that’s plagued him before he was even inaugurated. And nothing is more dangerous to our constitutional republic than deep state operatives who believe it is their right to elect our presidents for us. And if we allow the impeachment of a president based solely on policy opposition, character flaws, silly mistakes, and voter-base polling, it’ll set a precedent that will never be undone. And that means having our voices silenced and living in a country where we don’t elect our president; he or she is installed into office by the self-serving deep state. And that’s not a system any American, regardless of political persuasion, should be championing.
