House GOP Leader On Tape In 2016 Saying ‘I Think Putin Pays’ Trump

>>141220
Is there a link somewhere to the tape? I didn't see one in the article. Just one for the transcript.

>>141223
Not all source information is made available by media outlets directly to the public as soon as it is received. This is done to protect and encourage past, present, and future sources.

Don't feel so entitled to peruse every iota of evidence in all forms as soon as any information regarding it is released -- there is more at stake than your petty curiosity, and there are professionals who can do the analysis and keep necessary secrets to retain confidentiality of sources far better than you ever could (for example, would you ever go to jail to protect some random newswriter's WH source?).

I'm surprised there's not more discussion over this.

>>141247
so its bullshit. got it.

>>141438
>MUH FAKE NEWS
Trumpists, everyone.

>>141247
>Don't feel so entitled

The Washington Post in the one making the claim. They need to back it up if they expect people to believe them. Especially after their history of pushing lies.
It is perfectly legitimate to brush this off as another agenda driven non-news article until proven otherwise.

>>141247
Hahaha really?

Washington Post and CNN have already been parsed out as CIA media propoganda platforms akin to operation mockingbird, and now we have to accept every article as is without question?

The public isnt "privy" to these tapes? And media outlets are why?

How about next time these stories quote an event or person, they use the actual name and not "annonymous sources" or "secret tapes". Literally none of these stories can be proven, there's never any solid evidence, ever. Like litterally ever.

>>141444
It's obvious why media outlets can't always make their source immediately public. It's extremely unlikely that a reputable source as WaPo would make facts up out of whole cloth, because they depend on a level of trust with their leadership and if they were discovered, that would be a major blow to their ability to sell themselves as a valid news outlet in the future. There are some news outlets that embrace a different business model, like InfoWars.

>Especially after their history of pushing lies
WaPo doesn't have a history of pushing lies.

>>141458
>journalist has a perspective
>person working in government of like-minded perspective leaks to them
I don't get it, where does the CIA conspiracy theory offer any explanatory power?
Why wasn't the DNC leak also considered a CIA conspiracy? How do you decide when people just hate the and when it's a mass government. conspiracy?
Of all the thousands of people working for decades in mass media in the US, why hasn't one leaked any credible evidence for such a gigantic conspiracy (because, you know, it's impossible for people in government and in media to both agree the president is a shit).

Most importantly, of all the news that could be made up, why suspect this? All the evidence seems to point to the fact that Trump has some relationship with the Russians and that might be financial in nature and Putin might have a stake in that. For someone, Republican or Democrat, to wonder that aloud is just about the least non-contentious thing issue in the country at this point.

>>141220
>I Think

wow.

>>141470
>people working for decades in mass media in the US, why hasn't one leaked

i know that in US call centers are massive violations against human rights and working condition laws. any idea why none is reporting about?

Who cares
The GOP establishment always hated Trump

>>141470

>Conspiracy
Operation Mockingbird was a CIA propoganda program during the Vietnam War, it's not a conspiracy. Google it. It makes sense Anderson Cooper leads the CNN, he worked for the CIA in the 1970s.

>Sources

Here's the deal - you may think your "reputable" sources need to be guarded and secured, that they aren't supposed to by cross analyzed. Thats not how journalism works when it calls for impeachment of a leader. For all we know, these stories could be made up and cooked. They have an adgenda, it's very obvious they want Trump out of office, and they will run stories that push that.

WashPost has been caught litterally dozens of times running fake stories, you're incorrect

>During college, Cooper spent two summers as an intern at the Central Intelligence Agency. Although he has no formal journalistic education, he opted to pursue a career in journalism rather than stay with the agency after school.

"he was just an intern it doesn't count"
"whats the big deal? it was just a summer job"

>>141557
So Cooper was in college when he was (at most) 12 years old?

Man, no wonder that guy is so successful!

He was in his 20s. Nice try though.

Y'all faggots are severely stupid.
Anderson Cooper was born in 1967. That means that "in the 70s" as per >>141500 he could not have been older than 12 years old.
I'm not even defending anyone, just pointing out that the anon in question made a mistake, most likely confusing 70s and 80s.

Ignoring such technicalities, I'm really curious as to the case for why his internships (!) at the CIA should be considered relevant in any way to his journalistic carreer or the leaked conversation (which has been confirmed by Ryan by now, so don't you go all "fake news" on me) this thread was about at one point.

>Worked for CIA
>Family of the Vanderbilts
>Operation Mockingbird

Connect the dots. Him, Ryan, Obama, Clintons, Bushes, etc. are all on team globalism and Trump is on team nationalism. They CNN, NyTimes, and WashPost are just Globalist trumpets trying to get Trump impeached so they can run shit again and prevent their scummy shit from meeting the public light

Walmart is for BLM and progressives.

Lol what are you smoking

>>141435

What is there to discuss? It's a guy's one off speculation of Trump.

Call me when they find a recording of Trump planning the DNC hack with the Russians

I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist anymore. I may as well have a blue mohawk.

Liberals ruin everything.

>>141790
It's Jack Ryan trying to hide shit that could fuck him over. If there's this there's probably more. When Trump goes down I hope he takes Ryan with him.
