Apparently the only ones with no clue what was going on were journalists whose job it is to find this stuff out. But CNN was embedded with them so I don’t hold out much hope.
“..were journalists whose job it is to find this stuff out..”
They don’t think that is their job. They think their job is to hide democrat bad news, search for and if needed make up bad news on conservatives and republicans and to spew democrat propaganda and talking points. That is 95 percent of todays “journalists”.
