Another Day, Another CNN ‘Bombshell’ Is A Nothing-Burger CNN Walks Back Sessions-Russia Bombshell
The Daily Caller ^ | 12/11/17 | Amber Athey

CNN has quietly walked back more of their “bombshell” reporting on the Trump-Russia collusion narrative, and this time it’s a story relating to Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ security clearance forms.

In May, CNN reported that Sessions had failed to disclose meetings he had with the Russian ambassador when he was a senator. Justice Department officials told CNN that Sessions had not listed those meetings on a security clearance form, even though the form says to list “any contact” with the “foreign government” or its “representatives” in the past seven years.

CNN framed the non-disclosures as more evidence of collusion between Russia and the Trump team, writing, “He has come under withering criticism from Democrats following revelations that he did not disclose the same contacts with Kislyak during his Senate confirmation hearings earlier this year.”

If this is true, then Sessions is hopelessly culpable for recusing himself. Recusal for no reason at all—given the damage the Rosenstein/Mueller juggernaut has wreaked—is inexcusable. If Sessions were honorable, he’d have resigned long ago.

They probably all got sent to you, I had none.

Course I took affirmative action against them some time back and 'checked the box' no more ads..

Its totally out of hand, this fake news stuff.

I believe these networks report the fake news knowing they will walk it back. They bottom line is they got the fake story out there and it gets around. I have a releative who STILL thinks Michael Flynn is going to help take down the Trump family.
