Mainstream media figures from the New York Times to the Huffington Post to CNN are apoplectic Monday as their latest attack on Donald J. Trump, the Republican nominee for president, has crumbled yet again under the slightest bit of scrutiny.
Specifically, the newest line of attack to fall apart is the criticism of Trump over Khizr Khan, the Muslim Gold Star father who spoke at the Democratic National Convention last week.
Over the weekend and for the past few days since Khan spoke alongside his wife Ghazala Khan about their son, U.S. Army Captain Humayun Khan, who was killed in Iraq in 2004, media-wide reporters, editors, producers, and anchors have tried to lay criticism on Trump over the matter. They thought they had a good one, a specific line of attack that pitted Trump against the military—and supposedly showed him as a big meanie racist in the process.
But, as Breitbart News showed on Monday midday, that clearly was not the case. Khizr Khan has all sorts of financial, legal, and political connections to the Clintons through his old law firm, the mega-D.C. firm Hogan Lovells LLP. That firm did Hillary Clinton’s taxes for years, starting when Khan still worked there involved in, according to his own website, matters “firm wide”—back in 2004. It also has represented, for years, the government of Saudi Arabia in the United States. Saudi Arabia, of course, is a Clinton Foundation donor which—along with the mega-bundlers of thousands upon thousands in political donations to both of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaigns in 2008 and 2016—plays right into the “Clinton Cash” narrative.
All of this information was publicly available, and accessible to anyone—including any of these reporters, and Breitbart News—with a basic Google search. Anyone interested in doing research about the subjects they are reporting on—otherwise known as responsible journalism—would have checked into these matters. But clearly, none in the mainstream media did—probably because, as Fox News’ Chad Pergram noted, Democrats “sense blood in the water over” the whole Khan controversy.
Earlier on Monday, as CNN host Kate Bolduan stacked a panel with three anti-Trump analysts against Scottie Nell Hughes—the only Trump supporter present—Bolduan admitted she has not done basic research about Khan.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about, what law firm he’s connected to,” Bolduan, a CNN anchor, plainly admitted on live television on Monday during a discussion with Hughes.
Hughes was pressing the very easily publicly accessible information that Khan worked at Hogan & Hartson, the firm that would eventually become Hogan Lovells LLP—a firm that as Breitbart News has demonstrated is highly connected with the Clinton apparatus and with the Saudi government. And Bolduan was proving she had no idea what she was talking, quite literally—as her direct quote admits.

@ bernard ross:
not me
does anyone believe that trump would send 400 mill to Iran to buy hostages….. would hillary? Who will make the right decisions?
Bear Klein Said:
and yet the GOP has done absolutely nothing in eight years to do anything about it. How can the do nothings, the know nothings, the losers the sit on their butts for eight years giving the worst pres a free hand… how can they even be talking now, the voters are rejecting them they should step back and support trump.
The GOP want Trump to dump his trade platform but he should instead dump them. The voters want the Trump platform and will get over his style.
Bear Klein Said:
he cannot win with the establishment gop because they pretend to support him while sabotaging him. If gingrich was supporting trump he would not publicly demean him and portray him as being wrong. they are trying to screw him… Trump should have only stuck with loyal gop …gingrich backs the traitors ryan and mccain because they are all establishment trying to get trump harnessed to their agenda. Trump won gop voters because he DID NOT follow their platform. Why listen to those who dont win? The real problem is the backstabbing GOP, I think Donald must be considering whether it is smart to continue with their knives at his back. Gingrich should have been cajoling the gop backstabbers like ryan and mccain to stop the backstabbing rather than blaming trump about the boohoo muslim lying daddy. The fact that they did not back up trump shows that he has no gop team behind him. It might make sense to operate without them, stay with them officially so they cant run anyone else, but make his plans without them. He can get a lot of votes by separating himself clearly from the gop establishment and putting together ONLY loyal gop… I think gingrich was a mistake, his first reaction was to jump on the bandwagon against trump, lecturing trump rather than developing a defense for trump, like I do. Whose side is gingrich on? The GOP primary voters selected Trump and want the GOP to support THEIR choice NOT the establishment choice or platform but the GOP establishment are hanging on trying to sabotage Trump. The GOP can sink Trump, it is up to the GOP whether the GOP establishment supports hillary or Trump. Its nothing to do with Trump Trump voters have no problem with his style, its not important to them so why is the GOP taking the democrat position?
The idea is to win the election period end of the story.
the establishment parties, the media manipulate the public with PC rules of how to speak think and feel… that’s their taqiyya goal of deception, they have goals, I get it…. the sad thing is all the robotic clones who parrot the PC rubbish without the ability to think for themselves…. they have become that faceless army of drones whose only future value will be to become mulch.
LOL, Trump is today performance artist revolutionary compared to the parroting clones we find these days.
Bear Klein Said:
I disagree… khan was key to exposing clinton and the dems… cruz, ryan and mccain are exposed as scheming establishment frauds… independents in the middle and even liberals might be drawn to trump by the fact that all the elite, establishment and their bought media are against trump. HIs platform on immigration and trade are what the majority of americans want… the fact that all the establishment of both parties want the opposite portrays him as the real rebel, the real revolutionary.
Bear Klein Said:
if trump did not take the bait we would not have known of khans muslim brotherhood, saudi, sharia connections, we would not have known of the khan and the clintons selling US immigrant visas to muslims… trump did the voter a favor… at least voters who want facts and truth over perfumed boo hoo.
Bear Klein Said:
but khan was the key to the clinton immigrant visa scam… another pay to play scheme of the clintons paid by the saudis through LOvell and marketed to the muslims by khan… who was doing his shariah duty to bring muslims to america… and did his taqiyya duty when he lied to americans in order to get them to repudiate trumps banning of muslim terrorists.
all those who advise trump did not win the gop primary in a landslide… their techniques and tactics are based on playing the lying and marketing game to a deceived public… perhaps it is trumps style of crude, banal, kick ass exposure of liars, thieves hypocrites and murderers which will in the end resonate with the american people who sense that both parties are lying scum.
If it wasnt for trump we would not see that ryan was a fraud, an obama rubber stamp. I want trumps style to continue…. I prefer the rude truth to fecal based parfum.
It turns out that the boo hoo muslim daddyn trotted out by the lying dems was himself a lying POS who used his sons death to advance the muslim cause NOT the american constitution as lying boo hoo muslim daddy proclaimed in his taqiyya statement. It also turns out that the lying clintons and boo hoo muslim daddy were engaged with lawyer lovell in selling investor immigrant visas to muslims. Taqiyya is what boo hoo muslim daddy used… its ok because he was using his son as a martyr to fool americans into NOT following trumps advice to keep muslim terrorists out of the US. Lying boo hoo muslim daddy was working to get more muslims into the US using his taqiyya tear jerker… and the fools bought into it.
If it wasnt for Trump the clinton, khan, lovell visa scam would have gone unexposed… if it was not for Trumps style we would all be feeling gulty and boo hooing about banning muslims….If it wasnt for Trump. Some got suckered in by the usual fool tear jerker but the ryans and mccains were just hyenas jumping on a hoped for dying carcass. The best thing trump did for me was to show me one more criminal endeavor and endangerment to national security in the sale of these immigrant visas to muslims who can call building mosques and muslim training camps… investments.
Hypocrites and liars hate trump… along with those who prefer hypocrisy covered with perfumed lies over the banality of truth. I prefer Trumps banality of truth that goes with Trump to the liars and hypocrites. I have yet to hear a single meaningful exposure or criticism of trump beyond criticising his style and manners.. whereas I see pure thieving murdering scum allayed against him.
This thing is a micro war. Khan is not running for President. Trump is. He should not take the bait and fight with anyone who “dissed” him.
The Macro War is with Hillary and Obama. If Trump does not make this about them and digresses to Khan, Cruz, Ryan, McCain……..he will lose.
His surrogates can fight the micro wars.
If he keeps going like this taking the bait he will lose. He is now behind in all the swing states.
Hillary set Khan out to bamboozle Trump and, unfortunately, Trump was not prepared for the presented scenario. Hillary sympathized for Khan’s son, but not for the other sons and daughters of America, such as the Benghazi sons, the children who were killed at Fort Hood or at the Boston Marathon, and all the others that “made no difference, at this point.” Khan used the Constitution for drama, but our Constitution does not say to welcome unvetted migrants to this country, to rape, destroy, murder, and rule with Sharia. Trump is right, but his delivery was fit for ridicule by the left. That’s what the left does best: ridicule, insult, offend, because they have no facts or reason or love of country.
@ bernard ross:
ADL shows bias and ignorance! They are full of liberal Jews. That says it ALL.
What is loathsome to me is that the ADL has done nothing to protect Jewish children from attacks of muslims and leftists in schools and universities across the nation but NEVER missed the chance to speak up for those who are the cause of the anti semitism: THE MUSLIMS!
this muslim daddy khan is connected to muslim orgs who have been at the forefront of the surge of anti semitism and belongs to the cult of Islam which teaches their children that jews are sons of apes and pigs. Muslims are anti semites and defending anti semites is criminal.
My bet is that the ADL long ago began receiving funding from muslim orgs as well as gov grants which is likely why they ceased to be a jewish org.
@ watsa46:
Of course you are right… the FBI will only do it after Trump or the GOP establishment could raise a stink but they are in collusion with obama and hillary in return for their TPP
Meanwhile Obama and hillary with the consent of Ryan, McCain, the koch’s are trying to flood the USA with as many muslims as possible before he leaves. Had the GOP risen in resistance instead of stalking Trump we might have avoided the future they have in store for us. All the billionaires are flocking to hillary because the TPP is their priority. The GOP opposition in Congress is supposed to be objecting to this immigrant flood.
bernard ross Said:
R U joking? The FBI is Obama! He has the last word. The “supreme leader”!
@ bernard ross:
U forgot the ….Library!!!
a serious FBI investigation is needed on many levels. First, it appears that Khan and the Clintons, through the Lovell law firm were engaged in fraudulent and phony selling of investment immigrant visas to wealthy muslims. Second, the national security implication is that the Clintons, Khan and the muslim funders could have built mosques, muslim training camps and other muslim facilities to submit as qualifying for the investment status sold by the Clintons. Third, these investments were likely funded by the muslin nation donors through the muslim visa recipients. Fourth, the building of this muslim network provided an trojan horse infrastructure ready to receive the next wave of muslim “refugees” that Hillary intends to receive. Fifth, it is likely that the clinton creation of this trojan horse muslim network is funded and facilitated by the terror orgs of CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood and that Huma is Hillary’s handler to supervise that the funding is done according to their plan. The exposure of Khan and his connection to the Clinton muslim immigrant visa selling scam might be the most major development along with her espionage of sending classified info to the muslim brotherhood disquised as emails to Huma on the intentionally unsecured network.
this needs serious investigation as a national security issue.
speaking of taqiyya muslim propaganda… all those Jews voting in the diaspora should notice this taqiyya which shows that even so called muslim secular moderate academics remain an enemy of the Jews. Those jews who decry islamaphobia are strengthening Jew killers… the idea is to weaken the enemy, not to strengthen them.
Its time for those kumbaya liberal Jews in the USA to realize that the “together” propaganda of the democratic party is baloney. The reason that there is the greatest surge of anti semitism in modern american history…. and that Jewish children at school and college are daily under anti semitic verbal and physical attack….. encouraged and facilitated by the academic staff and administration…. the reason for these attacks is primarily the influx of muslims into the USA and the need of the democratic party to find allies with whom they resonate. Fool Jews, it is no co incidence that most of todays anti semitism comes from the alliance of muslim anti semites with leftist anti semites…. neo nazis are not our greatest existential threat…. our greatest existential threat are the muslims and those leftists who have allied with them and given them power. Only Trump will begin to profile and investigate the muslim sources of anti semitism in the USA… those sources reside in CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood….Hillary’s top personal advisor is well connected with the muslim brotherhood and related terror orgs. I beleive that she is Hillary’s handler who tells her what the muslims want in return for their money and support. Huma has access to classified info. The muslim daddy Khan has proven to be part of, and a beneficiary of, that same muslim trojan horse network.
muslim daddy khan was in collaboration with clintons law firm to sell investor immigrant visas to muslims…. the muslim immigrants chosen by their muslim brotherhood funders could have claimed building a mosque or a camp as their investment. the clintons are the muslims trojan horse to build a muslim infrastructure in the USA
watsa46 Said:
I dont want to waste time and energy on garbage
watsa46 Said:
True, but once you realize that ALL “islamists” are funded and controlled by muslim nations and muslim ngo’s, all of whom fund hillary’s rise….. and that they have placed a trusted muslim brotherhood handler and controller at her side, and in her bed, to make sure that she keeps to the program……. one of which is the clintons selling of investment visas to wealthy muslims chosed by their donors…… the muslim daddy Khan’s job….. the jigsaw puzzle picture gets clearer and clearer. Oh, and their investment can be a mosque or other muslim”educational” entity.
watsa46 Said:
she preserves her connection to the source of her funding.
watsa46 Said:
No, she still worships money and power but accepts the islamic source of her power and money.
Has Hilary converted to Islam? Perhaps her mentor Barak has had a role there!!!
Pakistan-Saudi Arabia-Hilary connection reminds me of the “French connection” movie.
Like France, desperate to preserve her connections to the Maghreb, Hilary is trying to preserve HER connections to Islamists, at the expense of America!!! It is about HER library after ALL!!!
Can we SINK lower?
On FM 93.9 U can hear 24hrs/24hrs anti-Trump garbage. It is FASCINATING!
