The leaks are coming from Democrats on the intel committee and CNN will never cop to it since they have been caught red handed.

I don’t believe this is reckless reporting on the part of CNN. They are reporting exactly what their sources are giving them, but I believe the sources are being given bad information. And when they leak it is a huge RED FLAG of fake news appears. I believe it is a sting and “they” know exactly what “bad” information they are giving to the sources ... don’t kid yourself, they have the list now. I’m betting it is an inside sting on the Gang of 8 by the IG. Will probably show up in his report in January. (Hey, if CNN can take a daily SWAG, why can’t I? :-) I bet Adam S is not sleeping so well these days!

CNN should be hammered endlessly on its “sources” for this fraud on the public.

I do not agree with some who are saying the CNN reporter simply made up the wrong date. That would not begin to explain what is so “interesting” about this Democrap screw-up.

I do believe that CNN is telling the truth about this much, that “two” sources were giving the CNN guy the same basic (incorrect) info.....

They were most assuredly Democrat sources within the House Intelligence Committee leadership or staff. Rep. Adam Schiff is an obvious candidate, along with some of his colleagues and staffers.

I also don’t think it makes any sense at all that someone from the Democrat (or MSM) side INTENTIONALLY put out the wrong date. That makes no sense at all since the temporary spike in “Trump scandal” would be quickly followed by the embarrassment of being shown to be so wrong. Someone got the date wrong either due to a “sting” operation or possibly simply due to rank carelessness that then got circulated among Democrap insiders.

THAT is what we must get to the bottom of, who is leaking from the House Intel Committee..... were they given the wrong date in a sting operation, or was it careless typing from someone in their circle who was sending out an email blast to their “team” or what????

“The leaks are coming from Democrats on the intel committee“

Schif or one of his lackeys.

All those who saw it on the WORLD WIDE WEB never saw the correction. And that’s exactly what CNN intended.

Their sources were provided false information on purpose, to identify them as sources of the leak.

Yes, I said it was probably a sting operation.... although given the slovenly minds at work in the Demoncrap Party I don’t rule out the possibility that someone mis-wrote or mis-typed the date and then the wrong info was getting circulated among Democrat pols and staffers.

Anyway, someone gave the wrong info to CNN, who ran with it, and this whole thing needs to be unpacked and fully exposed.

Greenfield presents a great story.

Right..... I don't think it's correct to call Greenfield a "lefty".

Fabulists spinning fabulous yarns. Entertainment for the weak minded, not news.

I’ve never heard of Glenn Greenfield, but then I don’t watch the drive-by news media like you obviously do.

Thanks Kaslin.
"The humiliation orgy was kicked off by CNN, with MSNBC and CBS close behind, with countless pundits, commentators and operatives joining the party... By the end of the day, it was clear that several of the nation’s largest and most influential news outlets had spread an explosive but completely false news story to millions of people, while refusing to provide any explanation of how it happened... tone of excitement, breathlessness and gravity the network conveyed" was quite apparent. "There was just one small problem with this story: it was fundamentally false, in the most embarrassing way possible," Greenwald wrote... Congressional reporter Manu Raju... admitted that neither he nor anyone at CNN had actually had seen the e-mails but were relying on the descriptions from those who had seen it... "How is it remotely plausible that multiple sources could all innocently and in good faith misread the date in exactly the same way, all to cause to be disseminated a blockbuster revelation about Trump/Russia/WikiLeaks collusion," Greenwald wondered of CNN.
Yeah, that's a real stumper. Wait! I know -- check with Politifact! Or Factcheck dot org! Or Snopes! Or Media Matters! Why, I bet there's even a whole chapter in "What Happened" that shows that fake media stories being disseminated by the DNC and uncritically repeated by the ever-compliant media helped defeat Hitlery! /sarc

It’s Greenwald, not Greenfield.

I met him online at the old Compuserve Town Hall forum about 20 years ago. I doubt that he remembers me. We got along OK. I don’t know about him being a leftist. He seemed more libertarian back then. He was a gay activist then and I believe he still is.
