Another Sr Trump Official Sounds the Alarm

That Trump and senior campaign officials sought to obtain advance information on WikiLeaks' email dumps through Roger Stone, and that Trump spoke to Stone about WikiLeaks, despite telling the special counsel in written answers he had "no recollections" that they had spoken about it.
That Russian-government actors continued until at least January 2020 to spread disinformation about Russia's election interference, and that Manafort and Kilimnik both sought to promote the narrative that Ukraine, and not Russia interfered in the 2016 election.
That Russia took advantage of the Trump transition team's inexperience and opposition to Obama administration policies "to pursue unofficial channels," and it's likely that Russian intelligence services and others acting on the Kremlin's behalf exploited the Transition's shortcomings for Russia's advantage.
That the FBI may have been victim to Russian disinformation coming through intelligence sources such as the Trump dossier author Christopher Steele.
And that campaigns, political leaders and other influential Americans must be even more diligent in the future not to fall victim to Russian interference, given the extent of Russia's efforts and successes to reach campaign operatives in 2016.
The report is all the more remarkable because it was led by then-Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr, a North Carolina Republican, and Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia."

Via Fox news...
PS, The Democrats need to be all over this instead of being a bunch of wimps. They should be screaming collusion and they were right all along...

So, Fox news readers will see a misrepresented snippet of information as a headline, along with an opinion of one GOP senator who in essence said, "See, there's no collusion!" and call it a day!...
Here's the headline that should be appearing on Fox:

Trump and his "very fine people" statement:
"Trump has said his “very fine people” comment referred not to white supremacists and neo-Nazis but to “people that went because they felt very strongly about the monument to Robert E. Lee — a great general, whether you like it or not.” Some have argued that explanation doesn’t hold up, because Trump referred in that statement to a protest “the night before” when — it was widely reported — white nationalists burned tiki torches and chanted anti-Semitic and white nationalist slogans. We’ll leave it to readers to make up their minds on Trump’s remarks, but Biden’s comment that Trump has “yet once to condemn white supremacy” is not accurate.

and:
https://www.politifact.com/article/2019/apr/26/context-trumps-very-fine-people-both-sides-remarks/
So, while Trump eventually condemned white supremacy, the very fine people comment depends upon your sense of rationality and political persuasion...

It was quite obvious to people who saw that explanation when he gave it what he meant and that means it was not inclusive to some supporters of the statue of Robert E Lee who happened to be there at the time...

The WH's own medical model now estimates 310,000 dead from Coronavirus be December with 70,000 of those deaths being preventable by wearing masks. Meanwhile, Trump is declaring "victory after victory". No mask mandate, no presidential example, no nothing and he's declaring victory. Wearing a maga hat and wrapping yourself up in an American flag really does it for ya, now don't it?

Here are just a few off the top of my head.

Juan Williams,
Donna Brazile,
Marie Harf,
Jessica Tarlov,
Leland Vittert,
Chris Hahn,
Richard Fowler,
Mara Liasson
Jehmu Green,
Mo Ellithee.

These aren't GUESTS.  They are paid employees, who either have their own shows, or are on the panel, DAILY.  

Challenge for you:

Name 5 Employees of CNN, NOT guests, but those on shows who are right wing.

You are so full of shit, it is coming out of your ears.
That's funny, I don't see anything from them on the Fox News website and primetime has their "news" presented by their opinion commentators, namely Carlson, Hannity, Ingraham and Pirro with the first two dominating their prime time "news" hours...
