HERE’S COMPLETE AND UPDATED LIST: Deep State ‘Leaks’ to Far Left MSM Outlets – 1 in 4 Relate to James Comey

Guest post by Joe Hoft

Here is updated analysis of the most recent so called ‘leaks’ being reported and repeated by the liberal mainstream media (MSM) involving President Trump.  Many of these ‘leaks’ are now proven fabrications and the probability that many more ‘leaks’ are completely inaccurate is very high.

The leaks are all being reported by biased liberal media outlets that were adamantly opposed to the election of President Trump.

These ‘leaks’ in all cases still are not supported with any names of so-called sources and in all cases the ‘leaks’ are meant to destroy the current President. 

Former FBI Director James Comey reportedly made statements that were revealed in the liberal media as ‘leaks’ but to this date he has not corroborated any of the statements he reportedly made after his firing.  Comey is scheduled to go in front of Congress tomorrow after asking to reschedule so he could first talk to his predecessor at the FBI, Robert Mueller, who is now the appointed Russia Investigation Special Council.

Of the 38 leaks listed below, nine are related to James Comey.

Here is the updated list of the leaks, the date they occurred, the source of the leak, and analysis of the leak.

Note that the most ‘leaks’ since the inauguration have come from CNN (9), the Washington Post (8), and the ‘Failing’ New York Times (84). These three MSM outlets best fit the label of ‘Very Fake News’.

Evidence in Hillary Clinton’s creepy campaign manager John Podesta’s emails released before the election by WikiLeaks show that the Clinton campaign was in cahoots with the mainstream media.  At least 65 MSM reporters were meeting with and/or coordinating offline with top Hillary advisors.

The WikiLeaks emails also show that as early as December 2015 Podesta discussed Trump’s “bromance with Putin” and the potential for using it as a means to slander Trump. Based on his emails, there is a very high probability that Podesta is behind some of the ‘leaks’ reported since the election. If Podesta is involved then the probability that some of the ‘leaks’ are made up is a very likely.

Also, regardless of whether the ‘leaks’ are coming out of the government or are just being made up by someone like Podesta, the MSM outlets reporting these stories insulting the Trump Administration are showing the lowest form of journalistic professionalism because these reports all include no sources, no documents or support, and the timing of the releases is set to cause maximum political damage (right after the president leaves the country).  Simply put these ‘leaks’ are political propaganda.

Sean Hannity and former Speaker Newt Gingrich discussed these leaks a week ago.

Fortunately for President Trump, the majority of the US that voted him into office stopped reading ‘failing’ newspapers like the New York Times and stopped watching MSM media outlets like ‘real fake news’ CNN a long time ago.

The President has the law on his side. Attorney General Sessions needs to add these entities and individuals to a growing list of corrupt swamp dwellers that need to be brought to justice.

Drain the Swamp!
