Former President Donald Trump is calling for the Pulitzer Board to rescind the prizes given to the former newspaper New York Times and the official paper of the DNC, Washington Post, for their coverage of the Russian collusion story, saying they were based on “false reporting.”
Trump's statement, released Sunday morning, was addressed to Bud Kliment, the interim administrator of the formerly meaningful awards. In it Trump said he wants the board to rescind the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting that was given to the aforementioned rags because the recording was pure bull, specifically based on “false reporting of a non-existent link between the Kremlin and the Trump Campaign."
“As has been widely publicized, the coverage was no more than a politically motivated farce which attempted to spin a false narrative that my campaign supposedly colluded with Russia despite a complete lack of evidence underpinning this allegation,” the letter stated, leaving some to ask why doesn't Trump speak with the eloquence in which he writes?
Trump, who also called for the prizes to be revoked in March 2019, referenced the indictment last month of Michael Sussmann, a former representative for Hillary Clinton’s garbage presidential campaign, by special counsel John Durham, who alleges Sussman lied to the FBI. This occurred when Sussman tipped them off to a possible link between Trump's campaign and Alfa Bank, which has ties to Moscow.

Trump's statement explains how the Sussman indictment “serves as a damning repudiation of the media’s obsession with the collusion story. The indictment pointedly accuses Mr. Sussman of making false statements to the FBI when he presented ‘evidence’ purporting to show secret communications between my organization and the Russia-based Alfa Bank.”
Who even knew that Trump could write this well?
Sussman claimed to the FBI that he was acting as a "good citizen" when he relayed the information to them. But the indictment, as Trump correctly points out, proves the guy was “working with other Democrats and billing his time to the Clinton campaign.”
Trump's letter goes on to show other issues with Sussman's claim and he referred to the entire affair as a "witch hunt."
In 2019, Robert Mueller and his team of investigators found no evidence of Trump conspiring with Moscow.
Trump noted that the Pulitzer Board praised the newspapers for “deeply sourced, relentlessly reported coverage in the public interest that dramatically furthered the nations’ understanding of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and its connections to the Trump campaign, the President-elect’s transition team, and his eventual administration.”

As it turns out, both newspapers make excellent birdcage liners and in an emergency, can be folded to make paper drinking cups or to be taken on camping trips for emergency outhouse use.
The Pulitzer Board did not immediately respond to a request for comment and Joe Biden is still acting president.
