CNN Walks Back Jeff Sessions-Russia Bombshell

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.

At the time, Sessions said he was told by the FBI not to list meetings “connected with his Senate activities,” but CNN’s legal expert denied those claims. .....see more

Wait, the same FBI that paid for the Steele Dossier and is riddled with Clinton/Obama operatives? I wonder why they would have given him bad advice or told him to do something they could use against him...

Need to take this and use it as an excuse to get rid of his no-good, compromised azz.

In this case, “Withering criticism” means acting like a cry baby over baseless claims.

When I cancelled my cable, I made sure to tell Comcast that CNN and MSNBC were my specific reasons for cutting them off.
