FBI rejected White House request to publicly slam Trump-Russia reports
NY POST ^ | February 23, 2017 | Chris Perez

The FBI shot down a recent request from the White House to publicly blast media reports about the alleged communications between President Trump’s associates and the Russians during the 2016 campaign, a report says.

Multiple US officials who’ve been briefed on the matter told CNN that White House officials had been asking the bureau to say the stories were wrong, and that there had been no contacts between the two parties whatsoever — but they refused.

The communications between the Trump administration and the FBI are said to be a direct violation of government procedures, which bar contact during ongoing investigations.

A White House official told CNN on Thursday night that the request was only made after the FBI approached the Trump administration and indicated that they did not believe the media reports to be true.

More likely McCabe, whose wife HRC raised half a mil for to win her congressional seat.

That kinda dough don’t come with complications. Looks like Trump is letting the good guys and bad guys split before he takes an axe to them. FIND NOW = turn it McCabe.

If it is just McCabe involved, no need for POTUS to go tweeting about it.

Rush is going at this full bore and is totally missing the point.

At root of this fake news is Donald Trump. Cnn is thrashing about because Trump is considered to be an existential threat. Trump is in fact killing CNN. CNN is attempting to fight back.

ATT will be prevented from buying Time warner that includes CNN.

CNN must be spun off to wither and die

Put a NAME with the quote and see how credible the source is.


It looks like they did put a name with the source, CNN. That pretty much ended the credibility right there.
