So much for that Reuters article claiming Donald Trump and his pals were off the hook for January 6th
Two weeks ago Reuters published an article titled “FBI finds scant evidence U.S. Capitol attack was coordinated.” The article itself did nothing to justify its own headline, and instead merely claimed in generic fashion that the likes of Donald Trump, Roger Stone, and Alex Jones were off the legal hook for January 6th. At the time Palmer Report explained why the article was an obvious fraud that had surely been planted by the people it falsely “exonerated.”
Sure enough, Kevin McCarthy and other Trump stooges have been using that Reuters article to insist that Trump was indeed off the hook. But now, January 6th Committee leaders Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney are revealing that when the Reuters article was first published, they checked with the relevant federal agencies, who confirmed that Trump has not been exonerated for January 6th.
This makes clear that Kevin McCarthy is lying – but then again, he’s always lying. The real story here is that the infamous Reuters article has now been proven to be a work of fiction. Reuters has been having a particularly rough go of it lately, and obviously has some internal issues to deal with. But the big question is why Trump world felt compelled to feed phony sourcing to Reuters to begin with, in order to get that article published. What are they so afraid of? One way or the other it’s going to come out – and they know it.
