Lying About Lying

Lying About Lying By Judd Garrett Our intelligence agencies told the American people that in 2016, theRussians spread disinformation on social media which changed theoutcome of the 2016 election. They claimed that President Donald Trumphad colluded with the Russians to pull off this disinformation campaign.This was such an outrageous offense and threat to our democracy, that itwas necessary to appoint a special counsel, spend over $40 million, andtwo and a half years investigating this crime. In the end, the investigationproved that Donald Trump had not colluded with the Russians, and theRussians influence on the 2016 election totaled the purchasing of fewhundred thousand dollars of political ads on social media whichamounted to a fraction of 1% of all of the political ads purchased on socialmedia that election cycle.
