GOP Operatives Have Begun Campaign to Discredit Reporters Working on Trump Jr. Story

At the end of a crazy news day centered on the release of Donald Trump Jr’s emails confirming that he arranged a meeting with a Russian attorney in order to receive dirt on Hillary Clinton from the Russian government, both the Washington Post and New York Times published reports detailing the chaos and anger gripping the White House right now.

While the Times detailed the frustration building between President Donald Trump’s and his team of private lawyers hired to handle the Russia matter, the Post had their own juicy tidbit about one plan some folks close to the administration are looking to put into place to fight the damaging reports.

<< A handful of Republican operatives close to the White House are scrambling to Trump Jr.’s defense and have begun what could be an extensive campaign to try to discredit some of the journalists who have been reporting on the matter.

Their plan, as one member of the team described it, is to research the reporters’ previous work, in some cases going back years, and to exploit any mistakes or perceived biases. They intend to demand corrections, trumpet errors on social media and feed them to conservative outlets, such as Fox News. >>

1. That's like... every reporter

Good luck with that. Dumbasses.

[underpants]

2. I heard a tease about this on Democracy Now

Typical RW and especially Trump M. O.

[PJMcK]

3. Typical Republicans

They always try to cover up, obfuscate and deflect their wrong-doing. Why don't they just do the right things in the first place? Then they wouldn't have t spend so much time and energy lying their asses off.

4. republican "family values" suck cesspool scum

freaking lowlife criminal-syndicate Traitorous republican wankers.

Doesn't matter if reporters did something low, stupid or evil - like vote for a republican - none of that absolves the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief and his cabal of TREASON.

Are republicans using our Tax Dollars to pay for this bullshit? The way the republicans squander $3 million a pop so their freaking 'billionaire' leader can play with his putter on gourmet golf courses.

5. Let them spin their wheels.

Trump supporters do and say what they are told. It's not like you have to worry about their minds being changed.

[get the red out]

6. Well...

I guess they will have to discredit Junior too, since he released his own emails.

[ProfessorGAC]

7. So Much For A Clear Division. . .

. . .between the business and government, huh? This kid does not work for the government or the RNC. So, political operatives are coming to the defense of a private citizen and there's no conflict of interest involved?

Hmmmmmm

8. Good effing luck there you GOP Cuckholds...

9. The whole "punch back ten times harder" gambit, eh?
