Journalist Matt Taibbi has revealed that the source of many of the claims of ongoing Russian disinformation during the Trump presidency, Hamilton 68, was itself a disinformation operation concocted by former US intelligence officials. Matt Taibbi joins The Chris Hedges Report to discuss his findings and dissect how legacy media, the public, and even Congress were taken along for the ride in the ‘Russiagate’ saga.

TRUTH. hillary's excuse for losing the election.. simply put.
@19:28 this can be easily understood when you consider theLeftist reporters creating these news stories, and their political motivations, to not be neutral.
Good report, thank you.
I'll tell you why this happened. Trump asked Russia in a speech, to find Hillary's emails. Also, Putin confessed to helping Trump. Now, let me tell you this. What you call a hoax, produced over 100 indictments. About a dozen Russians were convicted and sent to prison, but also two of Trumps top advisors and his campaign manager went to prison. SOoooo, 🤮.
Tulsi Grabber is an military officer in a psy-ops unit. She's no more trustworthy than The Clinton crime family.
Hang on, hang on. Didn't Gillum end up tanked and caught with 2 men. In well who am I to judge. We all have faults, but to call Ron a racist, and a Nazi? Hang on, look who you are following. Biden is basically shot due to age, and Alzheimer's. Harris OMG, SHE IS A NATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT!!!
College Educated, University of Bong Hits!
There were A TON of odd and undisclosed contacts and interactions between Russia and Trump and between Russia and eleven members of Trump's cabinet and inner circle. I wish Chris Hedges would acknowledge/address that. Much of the Trump/Russia reporting was fake but how can it be considered a "hoax" when there were so many substantiated connections? Even some of our very best journalists don't seem to tell the full story when it comes to Russiagate.
russiagate turned TRNN and DemocracyNow into garbage. anyone that bought into it for half a second is disqualified from matters imo. your judgement is clearly way off to miss such an obvious call.
Then where is the nude selfie: Russiagate is a political game unplayable
The problem I have with the concept of neoliberalism is that plutocrats have hijacked the term liberalism.
PUDIE CORNHOLE TRUMPY
True journalism. I hope it makes a comeback.
Hello biggest sting operation in history.wske up America.
If you're not sure you have no business speaking about it, everything you said before that and after that was to sway opinions
Why don't y'all just say Trump got help, and y'all are going to continue to put up a smoke screen for him while he does all of his anti American deeds, he's a trader and so are those who help him
I'm glad this kind of content is still permitted on the TRNN.
But without Paul Jay, this just isn't the Real News.
The Democrats attempted to overthrow Trump and they now accuse him of trying to overthrow Biden. The establishment is about perpetuating the US war machine.
We live in an era of lies and greed and utter corruption.
None of this could ever work without an uneducated, apathetic and distracted citizenship.
Reds Under Beds Again! 👺
hoax? what about the trump tower six who cooked up a russian adoption lie but really it was about get stolen illegal hilary emails? Convicted campaign manage paul manifort was being paid to send polling data to the russians. polling data for russian bots. Russian convictions of gates. Stone got seven felonies but because he kept his mouth shut about trump and russia trump pardoned him,
