Following President Trump’s meeting with Russia President Vladimir Putin last Monday, ABC was the first broadcast network to boost hysterical cries of “treason” from loony leftists. During Sunday’s This Week, the network appeared to be getting their employees fitted for their tinfoil hats as they kicked up the lunacy with incessant suggestions that the President was under the direct control of Russia.
It wasn’t just guests bringing up the topic either, host and Clinton lackey George Stephanopoulos was beckoning them to opine about how Russia had compromising information on the President and was blacking mailing him with it.
“Congressman Schiff, you’ve had some tough words for the President this week, calling him the greatest threat to democracy. Other Democrats have followed that up as well. Just bluntly, do you believe he’s compromised by Vladimir Putin,” the ABC host requested of California Democrat Adam Schiff.
Of course, Schiff obliged:
Well, I certainly think he is acting like someone who is compromised and it very well may be that he is compromised, or that he believes that he’s compromised. That the Russians have information on him. We were not permitted to look into one of the allegations that was most serious to me, and that is: Were the Russians laundering money through the Trump organization?
Schiff complained that the Republicans on the Intelligence committee obstructed his ability to investigate that lead into Trump and his targeting of the NRA on suspicion of working with the Russians.
Stephanopoulos also allowed infamous Obama-era liar Susan Rice push such speculations about the President’s motivations. “He has taken a series of steps that had Vladimir Putin dictated him, he couldn’t have mirrored more effectively. What his motivations are, I think, is a legitimate question, one that I trust the special counsel is investigating,” she declared.
“You had mentioned the President’s motivations. Does that mean you think it’s an open question whether or not he’s compromised by Russia,” Stephanopoulos asked. “George, I don’t know what his motivations are. I think that’s a legitimate question. (…) But it was also reinforced sadly this week by that tragic display of sycophancy in Helsinki,” she elaborated.
The most off the wall pontifications about Trump’s ties to the Russian government came from New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg during the so-called “powerhouse roundtable”. Following Stephanopoulos boasting about Democrats calling Trump a traitor, she declared that it was a “leap of faith” to believe Trump’s wasn’t a Russian puppet.
