Daughter of close Obama adviser will cover DOJ for CNN
NY Post ^ | January 19, 2017 | Daniel Halper

CNN has tapped the daughter of President Obama’s closest adviser to cover the Department of Justice — an assignment that comes a week after President-elect Donald Trump branded the network “fake news,” The Post has learned.

Laura Jarrett’s assignment comes a week after Trump publicly refused to answer a CNN correspondent’s question at a press conference.

“You are fake news,” Trump said to CNN’s Jim Acosta.

Valerie Jarrett’s daughter quietly joined CNN in September as a reporter in the network’s Washington bureau.

She came to CNN with no experience in journalism. But the Harvard educated lawyer defended companies and individuals against the Justice Department as a private litigator in Chicago.

Laura married fellow Harvard law grad Tony Balkissoon in 2012 at a Chicago ceremony attended by President Obama, her mom’s boss.

Valerie and Laura Jarrett were partying Wednesday night at a launch party for the news site Axios, held in the middle of Inauguration week at RPM Italian in Washington.

Asked about her post White House plans, Valerie Jarrett said she’ll split time between Chicago and Washington, DC, but first she plans to go on vacation.

CNN sucks... any group that feeds debate questions to Democrats before debates is too corrupt to bother with... DON’T WATCH CNN UNLESS THERE’S AN EARTHQUAKE OR OTHER DISASTER.

Everything else they put out is based on liberal elite lies.

I’d deny her press credentials at the DOJ. No entry.

Spies among us
ValJar keeps her access
Maybe the actions of the “ journalist’ will help pinpoint traitorous moles in the DOJ
If she’s like Mama she’s not the brightest bulb but is purely politically partisan

More of the District of Corruption nepotism. They should keep ValJar’s daughter as far away as possible. For DNCNN to hire her is absurd.

She is ValJar’s daughter, that is all the training she needs. Pure corruption.

This is the stuff that makes us crazy about the DC Cabal. I am sure Laura is a fine lady, but why not promote your kids to choose a career that takes you out of the beltway never to come back? You know Engineering, ( especially Geology / Fracking arena ) Accountant/CPA, Welder etc etc. Anything other than Law, Journalism, or Politics.

cnn is having difficulty with the reality of quickly becoming irrelevant.

Journos need training before they can report, irregardless of their parentage. Have you ever worked on a copy desk?

The Deploraball organizers refused to issue CNN press passes .... Buzzfeed denied as well. Lying and fake news should have consequences & it’s nice to see that it’s beginning to. I don’t think Jarrett’s daughter covering the DOJ is going to amount to anything.

Not according to Fake CNNews. How is Van Jones on that network other than a commie lib who was in the messiah’s cabinet.

All these outlets like to hire senior correspondents who are supposed subject-matter experts but never took an English course. You have to be able to string words together cogently.
