John Sununu blasted the media on CNN’s New Day on Tuesday over their coverage of the investigation into Russia’s alleged meddling in the 2016 presidential campaign.
Anchor Alisyn Camerota asked Sununu, “Is there anything about the Russian — investigation connected to the Trump campaign that troubles you?”
The former governor replied by going on the offensive against the media: “Yeah, but the reporting that’s taking place and the exaggeration of the veniality…look, it’s now seven months since the election; and to this day, no one has cited a single piece of evidence.”
The two then sparred over the recent report that Jared Kushner met with a Russian banker with close ties to Vladimir Putin.
“So Jared Kushner meeting with a major Russian banker…that has connections to Vladimir Putin — nothing to see there?,” Camerota wondered.
Sununu countered, in part, “I think there’s anything there…because during the ten weeks [of the transition], everybody is trying to meet somebody who is going to be in the administration — everybody who’s involved in business; everybody who is involved in politics — I can’t tell you how many people tried to meet with me.”
The CNN anchor asked a series of follow-up questions that put the Trump supporter in Kushner’s supposed position. The guest retorted, “Look, you’re asking hypotheticals on hypotheticals.” Camerota shot back, “I’m trying to actually take your temperature. I’m trying to gauge your comfort level with all of this.”
Sununu resumed his offensive on the media: “The only discomfort I have is with folks in the media trying to create a veniality without having the courage to specifically tell me what the veniality that I should concerned about is.”

The Trump supporter replied, “Politically motivated by folks trying to rationalize a horribly-run Democratic presidential campaign.”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Right on!
How many millions of $’s/Pesos has Mexico donated to the democrats to keep their illegals in America, since LBJ?
How much money did Obama and Clinton receive personally and for their elections?
How many illegal Mexicans voted for Illiarily in the last election and for Obama's two terms?
How many illegal Mexicans voted for rats in our cities, counties, states and of course at our federal level?
How many Hispanic tv channels do we have on Comcast, Direct TV, Dish TV and other tv providers, that we pay for and don’t speak Spanish? Who owns those Spanish only channels? Why do we have to pay for Spanish TV channels/stations, when we don’t speak Spanish?
Who owns the NY Slimes and other election meddling companies?
It is past time for our Congress to stop the Mexican meddling/interference/hacking at every level in America.
How many millions of $’s has Mexico donated to the democrats to keep their illegals here, at every level, city, county, state and Federal level?
The Russia/Russia bs is just a rat and rino distraction from the real meddlers and real interfering evil scum of our elections. The Mexican Government, their illegals here, the rat politicians, and our Rino’s, who want them for their cheap labor and votes, are the real meddlers in our election, not Russia!
It turns out that Camerota didn’t just play an airhead on FNC.....She actually is one.
And, how much money are the Mexican cartels funneling into our election and governing processes? On both sides.
Bingo. Type Casting on display.
She was hired for her legs, John. Not her brains.
> Camerota emphasized that “we’re at the beginning of the investigation,”
Democrat history begins anew every day. What about the investigation(s) that they started last year as an excuse to illegally spy on the Trump campaign and never produced a single piece of evidence of wrongdoing by the target? Until just recently they kept citing these investigation(s) over and over as proof that he must have done something wrong, because an investigation equals wrongdoing, unless it’s a witchhunt because your surname is Clinton.
I saw that. I let out a whoop with Sununu’s last line.
Brilliant.
Even Mueller should be required to spill his evidence. His say-so alone would not be good enough.
“If Mueller comes out and says that my version is correct and yours isn’t, how much crow are you going to eat?”~~~~~~~~~~~~~A lot!
Propagandists don’t eat crow, they just change the subject.
Sununu uses the word “veniality” in a way I don’t understand. Maybe he means “venality”.

perhaps...but a pretty airhead, notwithstanding...
It turns out she was a Liberal in sheep's clothing while at FNC
“Venal and venial are sometimes confused. Venal means ‘susceptible to bribery, corrupt’, as in local customs officers are notoriously venal, whereas venial is used to refer to a sin or offence that is excusable or pardonable, as opposed to a mortal sin”

Yep. He used the wrong word. Scandalous!
Camerota's insistence that "Russia/Trump collusion" is a new investigation was risible too. It's an old and mature investigation, recently handed off from the FBI.
This is great. He laid it on the line.
The Trump supporter bluntly wondered, “If Mueller comes out and says that my version is correct and yours isn’t, how much crow are you going to eat?”
The CNN anchor went on the defensive: “Governor, I don’t have a version of events.”
Couldn't help myself from shouting "Bullshit!".
She is trying hard to “keep it fresh”. New counsel; new story, according to CNN.
You just have to laugh out loud...they consistently asked Trump for EVIDENCE that he was “wiretapped”, yet MONTHS into this Russiagate, they have ZERO evidence of all this collusion. ZERO, NADA, ZILCH, yet they still make it their lead story almost every night???
