Tonight 60 Minutes destroyed Donald Trump’s favorite Russian propaganda meme. The CrowdStrike Server Fairy Tale fabricated by Russian Intelligence Services, that was then picked up by America’s imbecilic president as Fake News, and then parroted endlessly by Trump’s imbecilic cult of personality.

Even after the acquittal of the president, his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, is pursuing allegations of corruption in Ukraine. This past week, Attorney General William Barr said the Justice Department would "carefully scrutinize" what Giuliani finds. Last July, President Trump made the phone call to Ukraine that led to impeachment. He asked the president of Ukraine to investigate a mysterious Democratic National Committee computer server that Mr. Trump said was hidden in Ukraine. We have found that odd request is a story that has grown over the years and was influenced by Moscow.
