Russia-Trump Saga: Both Murdoch Empire and NYT Have Soiled Hands

Yesterday, the New York Times ran an error-filled article on the indictment of Trump adviser George Papadopoulos that seemed intent on cementing the notion that Russia hacked thousands of emails from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and then offered those hacked emails to the Trump campaign to smear dirt on Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign. The problem was that the actual Federal indictment unsealed on Monday against Papadopoulos made no such claim regarding emails hacked at the Democratic National Committee. Where the thousands of emails referenced by the Russians actually came from was not spelled out in the indictment. They could have just as easily been emails hacked from Hillary Clinton’s unsecure server in the basement of her home during her time as Secretary of State.

Instead of correcting its own erroneous reporting, today’s New York Times is blasting Rubert Murdoch’s media empire and other conservative media outlets for creating a false narrative that casts a taint on the Russia probe. The digital front page of the New York Times carries an editorial headlined, “That Crazy Talk About Robert Mueller,” writing that among Republicans there is a “fog of propaganda and delirious conspiracy theories” despite what they call Mueller’s “precise, methodical work.” The agenda, they believe, is to continually cast Hillary Clinton as “Public Enemy No. 1.”

But Hillary Clinton actually is Public Enemy No. 1 to millions of Americans on both sides of the political aisle. Supporters of Senator Bernie Sanders have filed a Federal class action lawsuit (now on appeal) with strong evidentiary support to show that the Clinton campaign and the DNC conspired to undermine Sanders’ campaign – in direct violation of the DNC Charter which mandates fairness to all primary challengers.

Wall Street On Parade is certainly no supporter of Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. Both were the most unfavorable Presidential candidates in modern history as evidenced by respected polls taken prior to the election. Looking at the facts on the ground in May of this year, we felt that Mueller, a partner at the corporate law firm, WilmerHale, immediately prior to his appointment, would be tainted by the legal representations of his law partners.

As reported in March by Politico, a WilmerHale law partner, Jamie Gorelick, represented Trump’s daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner. According to the report, Gorelick also represented former Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson in his confirmation process to become Trump’s Secretary of State. As if those connections were not eye-popping enough, Gorelick had actually been an active supporter in Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign for President.
