While they did not tell any details, they actually made it sound like there was some horrible damaging stuff in there. The also said that their intelligence sources were indicating that the former MI6 agent was considered a credible source.
My opinion is that their report was actually worse than what Buzzfeed did, because they tried to make it appear that there was credible, damaging information, and they simply couldn't report the details until the IC had time to verify it.
They are being disingenuous like a lawyer. Careful statements designed to smear without a specific misstatement - reminds me of the definition of "is"
They have yet to reveal the 4Chann connection which punked them all.
Hannity played those CNN clips on his show tonight. You are right, they made the story sound more damaging than it really was.
My opinion also is that CNN was attempting to use this crap in a more that was damaging way than Buzzfeed. Trump should lock them out of every news conference until they knock this crap off.
CNN is playing defense which means our side is winning.
Trump was wrong. I will never get tired of winning.
How Trump deals with CNN sets the stage. When the Soviets saw Reagan fore all the air traffic controllers, they knew they weren’t going to push him around.
Remember the Iranians, yelling and physically menacing Kerry and the US negotiating team and they meekly backed down?
every time Kim Jong il wants food or fuel, he threatens and beats his chest.
ISIS loves making big “or else” threats.
How Trump brings CNN to heel and destroys Buzzfeed will be closely watched by every bully on earth.
CNN the originators of Fake News!
THey were ALL punked by some juvenile delinquents on 4chan who made up a ridiculous story that fed into what the media and some intelligence people wanted to hear, so they ran with it. It matters not whether CNN did anything to confirm it or not, it’s fake and they were trolled.
CNN
Put some ice on That!
"I know that. I think it's so funny that you think that I don't know that."
If you want some effect...go to your cable TV provider and just tell them...you want CNN removed as an option.
No, not just till they stop. Lock them out until they publically apologize, with zero qualifiers or rationalizations. Also, that ass that raised his voice and told Trump he was acting inappropriate can’t come back ever in my opinion. Not without a long hard journey.
Clapper issued a statement tonight specifically denying that the circulated report was an IC product and he also wrote that the IC could not verify the accuracy of its content.
CNN also reported that Trump lawyer Michael Cohen met with Russian officials in Prague. The problem is that Cohen says he has never traveled to the Czech Republic and that he was with his son at USC at the time of the alleged meeting. So much for CNN vetting its reporting.
More Fake News from CNN.
Ultimately the damage will be to Buzzfeed and CNN.
Ah, no.
CNN, and Buzzfeed should be banned and CNN lose their government subsidy.
MSN on probation pending any future journalistic unprofessionalism.
Irregardless, everything the establishment has been doing borders on out right sedition. The change in power is always a dangerous time, and to have such disarray could have really emboldened our enemies. Fortunately, DJT has not been weak in his responses, so I think that helps to give our enemies pause.
The establishment is desperate. I am glad DJT has guts to stand up to the Presstitutes.
The date, reporters names, IRS status of reporters, citizenship papers of employees,name of planet where they reside...etc- all fake!
LOL. That’s gonna hurt Ha Ha.
