why in the name of Randolph Scott would the WH telegraph this ?
It’s cnn, more then likely they just made it up.
Trump’s 3-D chess.
Anonymous sources are referenced.
Nobody knows who they are.
From the article.
“The talking points are still in their preliminary form, and not yet finalized, people familiar with their preparation said. The White House and the Justice Department declined to comment.”
I'm sure they didn't (unless leaked). This was suggested by Alan Dershowitz recently, because Rosenstein is conflicted. He's a witness for the defense, and therefore can't ethically be part of the prosecution. You're hearing this breathlessly from CNN because the left knows this is a very legitimate and justified way to get rid of Rosenstein from the investigation, and they're afraid that this will derail Mueller.
First thing you do on thread is see what the source is. In this case it's CNN. Not credible at all. Strike 1.
Next thing is to read the article for the named sources for the story. In this case, there are none. Just the nebulous, "sources familiar with the plan." Strike 2.
And finally, asked the question, what would be reasonable to believe here? That the WH leaked the plan or that someone made this up at CNN and ran the fake news as a breaking story?
In this last case, a reasonable man would say, "Why in the name of Randolph Scott would the WH telegraph this?" Strike 3.
The story is not believable given who the news organization is, the lack of named sources, and it is just not reasonable to expect that the White House to release this to the media.
they aren't. Traitors are literally crawling all over this administration.
