Chuck Todd accused of being Russian conspiracy theorists and ignoring Ukraine interference of behalf of Clinton

John Nolte:
Meet the Press moderator Chuck “The Presidential Race Is Over” Todd went the full-Joe McCarthy Sunday with one his wackiest Russia conspiracy theories yet.
As I’ve documented before, while Todd has always been a left-winger, there was a time he was an intelligent political analyst capable of legitimate moments of insight. In fact, for years, I considered him one of the smartest guys on television. Now he’s practically crying on TV for the CIA and bragging about how he suppresses the news.
Unfortunately, Donald Trump broke the poor guy. Ten years ago, Todd would have been one of the few guys on TV expressing caution about what turned out to be the Russia Collusion Hoax. His instincts were just too good, his antenna too tuned to fall so hard for what was, on its face, a pile of hysterical nonsense.
Well, not only did Todd eagerly join the Russia Collusion Hoax herd, months after Special Counsel Robert Mueller debunked that nonsense, Todd is still making a jackass of himself spreading all kinds of fake news with his latest conspiracy theories.
Todd’s become a full-blown McCarthyite, a red baiter, attacking people without evidence for colluding with the Russians, as Putin Stooges… It’s unbelievable, and it happened again on Sunday with Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA).
Kennedy appeared on Meet the Press to express his concern about Ukraine’s meddling in the 2016 presidential election on behalf of Hillary Clinton, and…
Kennedy brought his receipts. He cited his numerous sources to back up his claim of Ukraine’s meddling — a documented fact fake journalists like Todd refuse to acknowledge. Those sources include the far-left Politico, along with the Financial Times, the Economist, the Washington Examiner, CBS News, and — get this — the government of Ukraine. All have detailed how Ukraine tried to rig the 2016 election in Hillary’s favor.
“In fact, in 2018, a Ukrainian court ruled that Ukrainian officials had violated Ukrainian law by meddling in our election, and that was reported in the New York Times,” Kennedy told Todd.
Todd, who wasn’t even listening because he was too busy savoring his coming gotcha, didn’t acknowledge anything Kennedy had just said, he just launched into his Joe McCarthy act.
“After Fiona Hill’s testimony, U.S. Senators were briefed [by the intelligence community] that this entire effort to frame Ukraine for the Russian meddling of 2016, of which you just made this case that they had done it,” Todd said with a straight face. “Are you at all concerned you’re doing Russian intelligence work here?”
What the hell is Todd talking about? Where did this flaming strawman with fireworks shooting of its butt come from?
Kennedy didn’t even come close to claiming Ukraine was responsible for whatever meddling Russia is guilty of. He merely said, accurately, that Ukraine had meddled in the 2016 election, and while doing so listed a half dozen sources to back that claim, including Ukraine’s own government!
But what Todd is deliberately doing is conflating the issue with a wild-eyed conspiracy theory about how anyone who brings up the fact that Ukraine meddled in our election — see if you can follow this nuttery — is actually DOING PUTIN’S BIDDING because what they are really saying is Russia is innocent of meddling!
After Kennedy said that Fiona Hill is entitled to her opinion about Ukraine not meddling, Todd jumped in to spread another debunked conspiracy theory, this one about the infamous “17 intelligence agencies” all agreeing that Russia meddled in the election.
The actual number is four.
But Chuck Todd stopped caring about facts a long time ago.
...
There is more and Todd appears to be the one ignoring the facts and sticking with a conspiracy theory. We did not even get to the part where a "DNC official whose name sounds like a Mexican food item (Chalupa) of Ukrainian descent worked with the Ukrainian embassy to get material to attack the Trump campaign and at least one person working for the campaign.

The liberal media figures appear to be losing their composure and professionalism and I suspect it is because of their animus toward the President.  They also are still pushing the Russian collusion hoax and have never apologized for their false and misleading reporting about Trump.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
