CNN Claims Kushner Was ‘Treasonous,’ Later Admit He’s Not a Target

The liberal media have been circling and acting as though they smell blood in the water since The Washington Post reported that close Trump adviser, Jared Kushner wanted to set up a back channel with the Russians so Trump could discuss Syria. This, on top of reports that investigators would like to simply talk with Kushner and ask him some questions. The prowling continued on CNN’s Inside Politics on Sunday, where they painted Kushner as “treasonous” before offhandedly noting that he was not a target roughly 50 minutes later.

Someone needs to sue these people for fraud.

[USNBandit]

Kushner wanted to set up a back channel to avoid leaks from Obama minions. We know this because of a leak from Obama minions........

[samtheman]

I have some liberal friends who were on minute-by-minute expectation that this issue was about to blow Trump up. I just rolled my eyes.

So what was CNN’s fake news #1 or #2 or both?

The prowling continued on CNN’s Inside Politics on Sunday:
1.where they painted Kushner as “treasonous”

2. before offhandedly noting that he was not a target roughly 50 minutes later.

So the Trump transition team wanting to discuss Syria with the Russians is now considered “treasonous” these progressive loons really are insane

[Grampa Dave]

What you posted earlier is very important:

Kushner wanted to setup a back channel because of concerns over leaks from Obama staff. We know this because Obama staff leaked the information, including exposing the capability of the US government to intercept communications between the Russian Amassador and his government.

There is no way that intercepted communications of that nature aren't part of a TS/SCI/SAP program. A violation of federal law.

To Liberals, treason is not being a Liberal. That’s why they want to ban all non-Liberal speech (what they call “counter-revolutionary”).

[stars & stripes forever]

DEPLORABLES should leave their TVs on CHRISTIAN BROADCASTING STATIONS 24/7. That would cause quite a shift in the ratings.

There were a few drive by FReeper’s who’d claimed the same.

At least CNN apologized.

[Eagles6]

Exactly.

[duckman]

When is Prez Trump going to pull the daily ‘Presser’. They do him absolutely no good. It is only a gotcha session on Sean.

[ForYourChildren]

The problem here, and CNN knows this, is that the rest of the msm will just pick up the following:

“Let begin with a question: Is this a little odd, but okay or is this the act of someone, as you just heard from the former CIA Director, someone on a treasonous path?”

etc.

And they will run with that.

MSM #FAKEAMERICANS manufacturing #FAKENEWS

MSM #FAKEAMERICANS (Russians?) manufacturing #FAKENEWS (propaganda?)

MSM are russians manufacturing propaganda to bring down America

Doughty One, I'm surprised Freepers aren't stepping forward more quickly and generously after FR was down for a week. More than a few of us were close to going off the rails without the support of the group.

I would challenge everyone who really missed FR (and there were plenty of us near the edge over at Refugee Camp on FB) and isn't one who donates to FR to give at least $10.

We don't deserve this great site if all freepers don't give at least something. It's "put up or shut up" time.

[DarthVader]

CNN is traitorous! We need to drop a MOAB on it and put all of their employees in FEMA camps.

[Socon-Econ]

This is hapening because we have allowed Democrats to create a fake enemy out of Russia, where every contact is suspect and our only response can be, “The Democrats did it too.” After the fall of communism in Russia, that country can no longer be presumed to be our enemy all the time.

[samtheman]

Hopefully no freepers who should know better.

[romanesq]

How many times did they say “treason?”
Seems to be the lemming verbalization of the season.

TDS is so far embedded in these people, they think emoting the word “treason” makes it true.
