Emails: CNN Reporter Coordinated With Hillary Aide To Smear Rand Paul During 2013 Benghazi Hearing

A CNN reporter who was recently suspended for two weeks for violating the network’s editorial guidelines showed up in a new trove of State Department emails released on Tuesday in which she appears to have coordinated social media posts with a top Hillary Clinton State Department aide during the former secretary of state’s Jan. 23, 2013 Senate testimony about the Benghazi attacks.

The emails, which were released to the website Gawker, show that Elise Labott, a foreign affairs reporter at CNN, took guidance from Clinton aide Philippe Reines by posting a tweet criticizing Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul for asking Clinton tough questions during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on the Sept. 11, 2012 Benghazi attacks.

Labott also coordinated with Reines to post a favorable quote from Clinton’s testimony, which she gave just a week before she left office.

In the Reines emails, which are the subject of a Gawker lawsuit against the State Department, Labott appears to pick up on a previous conversation she was having with Reines during the Benghazi hearing, asking him: “are you sure rand paul wasn’t at any hearings?”

Most corrupt person in American political history. Guess for Democrats that is a badge of honor or something.

As usual, the leftist media works in close concert with democrats to protect them, and to destroy Republicans.

It’s not for nothing that Mark Levin calls it the “Praetorian Guard Media.”

NYT is protecting her for lying under oath. She told Rand Paul that she knew nothing about weapons going from Benghazi to Turkey. Yet a republican tells the truth and they claim he lied. Unbelievable.

Lifelong hardcore criminals being allowed to remain free is what sucks.

The USA has no “news” organization in the 21 Century - only a propaganda machine run by the RAT party - the FIRST AMENDMENT desperately needs amending. But alas, even the conservatives admit the US Constitution is no longer up for amendment - e.g. scared of the Article V because it might be a “runaway convention”. What do you call what is happening in the District of Corruption right today?
