Politifact, on Trump's claim that Hillary "lied many times to the FBI"

[Ted Frazier]

Politifact concludes that not only did she not lie "many" times to the FBI, but she didn't lie to the FBI, period.

The fact-check extends Trump's horrendous record of lying, and makes it hard for USMB conservatives to spread the Hillary-lied-to-the-FBI lie, as liberals will whip out this fact-check and embarrass them:

Trump falsely claims Clinton lied to FBI

Of course, Politifact is right--so far as any evidence goes. But you know Trump's followers have been innoculated against the facts ever since that lying pig commenced his campaign, thanks to many liars who cheerfully bolster his bullshit.
They won't listen, so why do we even try anymore?

 

[LaDexter]

Hillary is WONDERFUL, HONEST, and the FACE of the DEMOCRATS.

KEEP HER IN VIEW!!!!!

LOL!!!!


Democrats = HILLARY

SHE represents DEMOCRATS.

[CrusaderFrank]

Hillary should run again in 2020. She beat both Trump and Bernie and never lied to the FBI

 

[LaDexter]

Hillary in 2020!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Make it so!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Using averages alone, we already start to see some interesting patterns in the data. PolitiFact is much more likely to rate Republicans as their worst of the worst “Pants on Fire” rating, usually only reserved for when they feel a candidate is not only wrong, but aggressively and maliciously lying.

All by himself, Trump has almost half of all the “Pants on Fire” ratings from the articles we scraped. Even outside of Trump, PolitiFact seems to assign this rating particularly unevenly. During the 2012 election season, PolitiFact assigned Mitt Romney 19 “Pants on Fire” ratings. For comparison, for every single Democrat combined from 2007-2016 the “Pants on Fire” rating was only assigned 25 times.

This seems to indicate Romney wasn’t just a liar, but an insane, raving liar, spewing malicious deceit at every possible opportunity. In the mere two years he was in the spotlight as a Republican presidential nominee, Romney somehow managed to rival the falsehoods told by the entire party of Democrats over the course of a decade. Or it is possible that PolitiFact has a slant in their coverage.

Romney did not strike me as a particularly egregious liar, nor has Hillary Clinton struck me as the single most honest politician to run for president in the last 10 years. Take a moment, a deep breath, and ponder this: If we decide we’re okay using PolitiFact’s aggregate fact-checking to declare Republicans to be most dishonest than Democrats, we have also committed ourselves to a metric in which Hillary Clinton is more honest than Barack Obama.

Forget the "rating," just read the sources. That's where the truth lies. They do a good job on that part.

 

[LaDexter]

Parroting left wing liars is "where the truth lies."


LOL!!!!


Depends on the definition of LIES......

LOL!!!!

 

[Rambunctious]

Hillary has been called a serial liar by her close friends and underlings so if she spoke to the FBI she lied to the FBI. When Hillary speaks she lies...she can't help herself...
Comey is also a liar so why would anyone take his word on anything?

No. That's thee smokescreen. Do you really think HRC is more honest than BHO? As the article stated, Politifact is much more likely to rate conservatives more dishonest for the same level of "truthiness."

Politifact like all the good factcheck sites backs up checking with evidence. What is your problem with evidence based checking?

The problem with Republicans (rather than conservatives) they lie... Just look at the tax cut last week, they for decades have been talking about fiscal responsibility and they bring out a tax cut which will involve borrowing $1trillion and giving it mainly to corporations and Wealthy people.
The lie is that they accidentally admitted on the Senate floor that they intend to cut public services to pay for the tax cut... So the little lies catch up...

Cutting tax on the rich doesn't boost the economy like getting money in poor peoples pockets... That is taught in 101 MacroEconomics...

Who cares what the far left politifarce says. It's just as much propaganda as ABC's take on Flynn.

She lied on tape, they are so deluded that they won't even believe their eyes.

You are correct when it comes to the avid Trump supporters being somewhat blind, but let’s also acknowledge the same myopicy for the ardent followers of Hellary. For many of us, Trump was not our choice, but Hellary was not even a consideration.

Politifact twists half-truths from Democrats into "mostly true" or "half-true" while twisting the same level of half-truths from Republicans to "mostly false" or "pants on fire." Politifact also pulls in outside info to "explain" what a Democrat really meant while ignoring outside clarifying information for Republicans, claiming irrelevance.

Seriously, Romney the most prolific liar and HRC honest? She's on tape spouting clearly provable lies regarding her email debacle and Politifact covers for her by minimizing.
