"Putin's Party" is compelling evidence that Kristol and the Standard were far from mere sideline observers as the Trump-Russia collusion scam took shape in the summer of 2016.
On the morning that Kristol's piece posted, the Trump-Russian election collusion story was in its embryonic stage-nearly all American voters that summer remained blissfully unaware of the details in this preposterous story-but secretly it was being peddled to the media by Fusion GPS, a political opposition research firm hired by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee to dig up Russian-related dirt on Donald Trump.
Kristol's article hits on every single one of the Simpson-Steele talking points: Trump forced the GOP to water-down language on the Ukraine in the party's platform; the Russians were behind Wikileaks' release of the DNC's hacked emails; Trump encouraged foreign powers to interfere in the election; and Trump would not honor U.S. commitments to NATO. He listed a handful of unknown Trump campaign associates who would soon become household names, including campaign manager Paul Manafort; national security advisor, Lt. General Michael Flynn; and foreign policy aide Carter Page.
A few hours after the Standard piece went online, Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook reinforced Kristol's message in an interview on CNN. Desperate to change the subject from DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz's pending resignation, Mook also claimed the Russians were behind the DNC's computer hack because Putin wanted Trump to win.
We are expected to believe that Bill Kristol's son-in-law paid Fusion throughout the 2016 presidential campaign cycle but Simpson doesn't pitch one dossier-related story to either one? Kristol just comes up with the very same flimsy talking points that Simpson and Steele are peddling-at the exact same time-and it's pure coincidence? Kristol just happens to call for an investigation one week before the FBI takes the outrageous and unprecedented step of probing private citizens working on an opposing presidential campaign? Kristol and Robby Mook just strangely regurgitate the identical Trump-Russia plotline-on the same morning?
Since the election, Kristol and the Standard have ignored major developments in Spygate while shamefully working with Democratic operatives to smear lawmakers such as Rep. Devin Nunes, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, who are trying to get to the bottom of the scandal.
There are still some conservatives who trust Kristol and the Standard fairly to report on the Trump presidency and Republican Congress.
