“The Steele dossier and all the bogus allegations, credulously parroted in the mainstream media, that flowed from it,” was an “elaborate hoax,” Bret Stephens said, “there’s just no other word for it.”
Bret Stephens wrote in The New York Times on Thursday that he was wrong to label Trump supporters “appalling.” He admitted, too, that the Russian collusion narrative about Trump’s election to the presidency in 2016 was a hoax. The New York Times was awarded a Pultizer for exposing the ties, which were proved to be not based in fact.
In fact, the Federal Election Commission fined both the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign for lying about the funding behind the Steele dossier, which was used in an attempt to link Trump to Russia and discredit his campaign. That dossier was proved to have been fabricated by Democrat operatives and fed to attorneys being paid by Clinton’s campaign.
