CNN to air 'The Russian Connection: Inside the Attack on Democracy' Tuesday night
The HIll ^

Posted on 06/27/2017 7:55:44 AM PDT by TigerClaws

CNN will host a special documentary ,"The Russian Connection: Inside the Attack on Democracy," reported by CNN Chief National Security Correspondent Jim Sciutto on Tuesday night.

Sciutto, a veteran of the Obama State Department who came to CNN in 2014, "recounts and tracks the story of Russian hacks targeting the 2016 presidential election from the very beginning to the investigations still underway today and to new fears of Russian attacks on upcoming U.S. elections," according to the network announcement.

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former Hillary Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta, former National Security Advisor Tom Donilon and former CIA Moscow Station Chief Steven Hall are among those interviewed for the documentary.

CNN bills the special as "the first comprehensive telling on television of Russia's attack on the 2016 race, with jarring lessons for American leaders and the public about more attacks to come."

The network has covered Russia's meddling in the 2016 heavily since Trump's victory in November.

CNN reported Monday that three of its staffers resigned after the network retracted a story tying a top President Trump ally to a Russian investment bank.

After working at ABC News as a senior foreign correspondent, Sciutto served as chief of staff and senior advisor to the U.S. ambassador to China, Gary Locke from 2011 to 2013.

"The Russian Connection: Inside the Attack on Democracy" will air Tuesday night at 10:00 p.m. ET.

Anyone taking bets on how many times the words “Trump” and “collusion” are mentioned?

There wasn’t an attack that swung the election.

There isn’t a democracy to defend.

Other than that, carry on CNN / Democrats. You’re just as clueless as you ever were, but at least folks should be able to see how clueless here.

Embedded in our pledge of allegiance.

“...and to the Republic, for which it stands...”

Yes, I wondered if they saw the irony in the use of that title?

Sounds like a non-stop parade of socialist-democrat obama toadies trying to talk their way out of a prison sentence.

“Don’t look at all the Chinese influence in our media and politics!”
... would be a better title.

Politicians swimming in donations from multinationals and companies that manufacture in, or import from, China.
Media totally dependent on the advertising revenue from those same people.
No, don’t look... look at Russia.

But Trump was a threat to our Democracy for what he said in the debate about accepting the results.

So CNN has decided to double down on their well earned reputation as the most journalistic incompetent, politically corrupted, fake new outlet in the world.
