Lewandowski pushes back on the WSJ's detailed reporting about his egregious corruption by comparing it to reporting about Russia collusion and Trump's birthday card to Epstein, two stories that were totally legit at the time and hold up in hindsight Great work, Corey
"This latest Wall Street Journal story, a once great publication, is today just another example of the kind of anonymous-source, politically driven reporting that Americans have seen time and again. We've lived through the Russia collusion hoax the fake Birthday card and countless other sensational allegations that ultimately failed to withstand scrutiny.

I'm tremendously proud of my work as a volunteer in advancing this administration's agenda and remain confident that the facts and not anonymous accusations will ultimately speak for themselves."

I just want to point out that a common tactic of dictatorships (like Putin’s) is to divide the opposition over relatively minor differences and dilute the public’s confidence in them. There is only one subject worth talking about right now- stopping Trump’s assault on our democracy.
