Dems are nonetheless ingesting the Russiagate Kool-Help after each single factor of that narrative has been debunked.

Notably, Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) was proud as ever to flaunt his conspiracy-theorist colours at Thursday’s Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Authorities listening to.

He tried to bully investigative journalist Michael Shellenberger — who’s accomplished important work exposing the ugly nexus of federal energy and Large Tech compliance that created our up to date censorship regime.

Goldman boldly and falsely claimed, “The New York Publish admitted right here” that the copious proof from Hunter Biden’s laptop computer of his shady acts “was not authenticated as actual.”

And that it may have by some means been “manipulated” by Russia.

No: Even the primary son’s authorized group has conceded the laptop computer was certainly Hunter’s — and the key media shops that questioned The Publish’s 100% correct reporting have since confirmed the contents are genuine. The Publish by no means “admitted” something that questioned our tales.

However that’s not sufficient for Goldman. Like his religious ancestors within the John Birch Society, he sees a Pink beneath each mattress.

Look, we get it.

Goldman’s a wealthy child (an inheritor to the Levi Strauss fortune) who lucked into nationwide media stardom after which political workplace by serving as lead counsel throughout President Donald Trump’s first impeachment listening to.

With out Russiagate, he’s actually nothing.

So he has a deep curiosity in conserving afloat the bogus claims that any unhealthy information for President Biden should come from the Russians.

However he and each different conspiracy-addled ideologue among the many nationwide Democrats misplaced the argument with actuality on this problem a very long time in the past.

The laptop computer, and all it comprises, are actual. Finish of story.

It’s Russiagate that’s “manipulated” — totally a product of disinformation operations funded by the 2016 Hillary Clinton marketing campaign.

The truth that Goldman is even now pushing this lie exhibits how utterly out of concepts he and his occasion are — and the way terrified Biden’s second run on the presidency has them.
