Mark Boal, who won an Oscar for writing The Hurt Locker, is teaming up with producer Megan Ellison to tell the tale of the 2016 presidential election.
The political drama will be in the longform format, a television event series that Boal and Ellison are aiming to be in the eight to 10-hour range. The project is being developed through Boal’s Page 1 production banner, which is financed by Ellison’s Annapurna Pictures. Ellison was instrumental in the making of Zero Dark Thirty, the Boal-written, Kathryn Bigelow-directed Osama bin Laden thriller, acting as a producer on the 2012 movie, and is also producing Boal and Bigelow’s latest venture, a drama based on the Detroit race riots. Former New York Times Magazine and Hollywood Reporter editor Hugo Lindgren, who is president of Page 1, is said to be assembling a group of journalists who will act as investigative reporters for the project, which Boal will write.
The 2016 election, which ultimately came down to the face-off of candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, remains a very contentious topic in America three months after it was held.
You are so fucking retarded. Why the hell would a story like this be "fake news"? Do you not know who Megan Ellison is? Who she's the daughter of? This is happening, whether you like it or not.

As a reminder, Trump is a Russian asset.

No, after what was unarguably my win I continued to be exposed to the news cycle, but I never read the Independent to start out with. I also haven't read Mother Jones or watched TYT.

wow, just like the DNI report (which none of you read) its fucking nothing

Ok Alex Jones take your medicine.

Reagan never supplied ANYTHING to Osama
Osamas entire ethos was based around the idea that a muslim and muslim only should fight that war and not count on any western satan money

>>a single, out of context line from the article disproves the whole thing
yeah, it pretty much does considering thats the point you are trying to make. Again, you clearly have NEVER even read this 10+ year article because it makes no direct contact between the two. It just says Reagan wanting to assist the afghan rebels and Osama wanting to do the same, and some soviet-us politicing leading to some literally who battle that made Osama a house hold name in Afghanistan. NOTHING about Reagan supporting him because his entire thing was not taking money from the west. Osama was kicked out of Saudi Arabia for talking shit about them because they accepted help from the US against Saddam and let filthy infidels into the land of the porphet muhammed.
It irks me so much when dumb millenials try to talk about contemporary mid east/muslim world politics. All of which are based on daily show tier memes.
I guarantee you also think Reagan had Taliban warriors in the white house
Christopher Barnes
>no actual argument, only deflection Case closed.

Some times you lose your job when you did nothing wrong but enough people cry about it....

seewas the majority of democrats alex jones level when they refused to believe the IC about wmd's
Angel Watson
literally nothing illegal about it. Notice how he got fired and isnt getting arrested.
democrats are pathetic
Colton Sanders
No movie will ever come close to the real thing. The memes, the shitposts, pussygate, pizzagate, riots...
Logan Cooper
It was Cheney and Rumsfeld deliberately misleading the public about nuclear weapons, idiot.
Jaxson Evans
So its only bad when republicans do it?
gotcha
Wyatt Perez
Protip: this isn't an argument to start with.
and accusing you of never having even read the material your "argument" is based off of? Not deflection. It's pretty critical you prove otherwise, considering you haven't actually cited any specific reports, but have only said what the reports said. But you haven't read the reports.
Nathaniel Jackson
I guess that means you think Clinton did absolutely nothing wrong, then.
Justin Walker
Pro tip: read the comment that's replying to and tell me it's an argument, idiot.

They lied about the yellow cake uranium on their own.

And? You're the one who started making a fuss about what constitutes an argument. I'm just here to call you a hypocrite.
Dylan Butler
Comey: What Hillary did was illegal but we do not recommend we prosecute
>inb4 muh intent
Angel Brown
Clinton was investigated for wrong doings because it was at least suspected she did illegal shit
this guy did nothing illegal and just had to quit his job
you guys are really stupid and are desperate for a scandal. Having a never ending shitfit is an interesting tactic you have adopted, but I guess thats all you can really do when you are on your death bed
Joshua Hall
Nope. I'm making a perfectly cogent argument. Retards like you are deflecting with BUT OBAMA and the like.
Ryan Bailey
You mean with reports provided by the IC......you cant squirm out of this cuck
Lucas Kelly
Wrong, they lied about the yellow cake on their own, idiot.
Zachary Cruz
>>REMEMBER WHEN THE IC LIED
yeah you retard. If the IC lied before, then why is it so out of the realm of possibility that they lied again?
Christian Taylor
THIS
Ian Martinez
The point is that it was the Bush administration, not the IC, that was lying.
Q: What was known to U.S. intelligence and Congress about WMDs in Iraq before the vote to go to war? A: Senior U.S. intelligence officials believed, incorrectly, that Iraq had stockpiles of chemical and germ weapons and was developing nuclear weapons. They also agreed Saddam Hussein wouldn’t give such weapons to terrorists unless attacked. Few members of Congress read the full 92-page report with all its qualifications and dissents.
Colton Robinson
This. The whole thing was a wonderful roller coaster ride. No cliched jew production can capture that magic
Angel Morgan
I don't know, it looks like you're getting BTFO pretty hard. You still have to provide some evidence that you even read the reports. At least citing a report, like, one single time. I mean, it is what your entire argument is based off of, when you aren't spewing out a bunch of talking points expecting the rest of the thread to connect the dots for you.
Aiden Robinson
Double standards. Notice how she hasn't been arrested. By your logic it means she did nothing wrong.
Gavin Carter
wrong.
Jeremiah Roberts
>this political party used the IC to spread their lies!
>its ridiculous to claim a political party would just use the IC to spread their lies
youre really really stupid user.
William Watson
No one was investigated and had a conclusion to not prosecute but literally was told what she did was illegal.
nothing flynn did was illegal
Ryan Clark
Clinton was running to be the President of the United States. She didn't get just fired for her negligence, and she didn't get her clearance revoked.
Michael Peterson
The Neo lib Democrats are manufacturing a war with Russia like the Neo Con Republicans manufactured a war with Iraq. One guess who's behind this

Robert Bell
>Double standards
No it isnt. Youre just stupid
>By your logic it means she did nothing wrong.
She was under investigation user. She is at least in the realm of being guilty while he did nothing illegal. Theres no correlation, this is a false equivalency, and its funny watching you desperately grasp at anything as you lose on pretty much every front in this retarded culture war you started
Carter Davis
the (((Palestinians)))
Luis Cruz
>literally nothing illegal about it. Notice how he got fired and isnt getting arrested.
Clinton wasn't arrested, so she did nothing wrong.
Gavin Stewart
she was told by the head of the FBI what she did was illegal...
William Butler
In the Bush administration it was them lying. Here the IC are speaking directly.
The yellow cake uranium lie was all the Bush admin.
Landon Morris
>it's a kid thinks his opinion matters shitpost
young people have no criterion and everyone should just start ignoring them desu
Jason Myers
And he knew that it wouldn't get past the "laughed out of court" stage. She wasn't arrested, so she did nothing wrong.
Charles Nguyen
The "getting arrested" part was clearly just to showcase that he did nothing illegal user
Hillary was literally told what she did was illegal.
you are being autistic on purpose because you lost on the actual point, just like Hillary lost in the election. Maybe thats why you like her so much, you like fellow losers
Charles Reed
I'll probably check it out. There better be good memes.
Hudson Lee
They did not go to war over that m8 they voted to go to war based on the faulty intelligence report..
as well the yellow cake uranium was also suggested in said report.
your BTFO the IC released faulty info and lost all credibility as infallible such was my point
