Rush spread fake news about the Papadopoulous and Downer meeting

I caught Rush today and heard him bring up the Papadopoulos and Downer meeting in London.  Rush said that Papadopoulos told Downer that Russia had Hillary's emails.  This is fake news spread by the media who colluded to push the story.

Papadopoulos told Downer that the Russians had "material"; he never mentioned emails.

This is an important distinction because the Russian conspiracy pushers have fallen back to say the Crossfire Hurricane investigation was launched because of sloshed Papadopoulous running his mouth and talking about stolen hacked Hillary emails.

The fact is they had one drink, never mentioned anything about emails, and the investigation was launched almost three months later outside of official intelligence channels.  There's no way this meeting is what launched the investigation.

Don't give the Maddow drones any wiggle room to shape the story.
