Biden campaign warns against media use of Trump disinformation on impeachment
A campaign memo warns against the spread of "malicious and conclusively debunked" theories about the Bidens by Trump allies.

The memo, first obtained by NBC News, is also a shot across the bow of Republican senators as they consider whether to entertain Trump's demands to call Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son, as a witness in the trial.

Trump has been "spreading a malicious and conclusively debunked conspiracy theory" that "Biden engaged in wrongdoing when he executed official United States policy to remove a corrupt prosecutor from office," the campaign said in the memo.

Daria Kaleniuk, Anti-Corruption Action Ctr in Ukraine director, said it was "unethical" for Hunter to trade on his father's ...position by serving on Burisma's board. But Biden "did the opposite" of helping Burisma by demanding the resignation of a "corrupt prosecutor," she said.

2. And need be, sue the shit out of the

Republican party allowing full discovery disclosure coupled with what the Republicans were trying to attempt on behalf of their "F up" psycho master.

3. I see Sirota's tweet coming:

"Biden threatens the media for doing their job and reporting on Trump. Unconstitutional!"

And Nina Turner responding: "Oh my... disqualifying!"

4. I'm glad to see Democrats taking preemptive measures against being Swift-Boated

It just sickens me when I think about the depths to which GOPers stoop for political gain.

5. very smart play by Biden

and his camp. Puts the media on notice to do their jobs right. I like it!

6. "Biden released memo to media " leads to "The memo, first obtained by NBC News"?

If he released it to the media, how does the media "obtained" it become news?

Wtf?

Whether Biden is your guy or not, we should all fight the spread of “misinformation” in the 2020 campaign: Trump has been "spreading a malicious & conclusively debunked conspiracy theory" that "Biden engaged in wrongdoing” in executing US policy in Ukraine https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-impeachment-inquiry/biden-campaign-warns-against-media-use-trump-disinformation-during-impeachment-n1118681 …
