Please. As editor in chief at Moonie Times pushed Uranium One smear of Hillary. It is proof of the works of a professional disonformationist, Manchurian-style. Why hasn't the Pentagon or Intelligence Community moved on this guy?



Who is John Solomon? Here’s what we know about the journalist whose stories shaped the Ukraine saga

PolitiFact

Excerpt...

Solomon’s commentary for The Hill has generated the most buzz. In 2017, he played a major role in pushing the inaccurate Uranium One conspiracy, alleging that Hillary Clinton sold a share of America’s uranium to Russia in exchange for a massive donation to the Clinton Foundation.

Snip...

When Fiona Hill, Trump’s former top Russia expert, was asked during private testimony how she first learned about Giuliani’s "interest" in Ukraine, she mentioned Solomon, whose columns outlined the same conspiracies that Giuliani was actively pushing on Twitter and TV.

Senior State Department official George Kent later testified that what he had described as the "campaign of slander" against former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch began with one of Solomon’s articles and ended with Yovanovitch’s removal.

Snip...

Solomon’s columns also alleged misconduct in Ukraine by Democratic donor George Soros and claimed, without much evidence, that Democrats coordinated with Ukrainian officials to interfere in the 2016 election by sharing dirt on Trump and reviving a 2014 investigation into former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, who had ties to the country’s old, pro-Russia regime.

This shouldn't be left up to Stormy Daniels and E. Jean Carroll. While both are patriotic Americans, their words should be followed up by the full weight of the US Government.
