Question about CNN story: Russia tried to use Trump advisers to infiltrate campaign

[BoogyMan]

Pretty sure I don't have to re-state that I am no fan of Mr. Trump, but if CNN is now reporting that Russia was trying to infiltrate the Trump campaign does that not destroy their narrative that Mr. Trump was in collusion with Russia?

The FBI gathered intelligence last summer that suggests Russian operatives tried to use Trump advisers, including Carter Page, to infiltrate the Trump campaign, according to US officials.


The new information adds to the emerging picture of how the Russians tried to influence the 2016 election, not only through email hacks and propaganda but also by trying to infiltrate the Trump orbit.

The intelligence led to an investigation into the coordination of Trump's campaign associates and the Russians....

Let's try the logic here. Let's say I'm Russia. I'm going to influence the election in favor of a loose cannon (Trump) instead of someone that can be bought and be my best friend (Hitlery)?

Nonsense. What were we doing to Russia under Obama? Nothing. So it's in their best interest to screw with the status Quo? Let's be real. A nice donation to the Clinton Foundation will get you forgotten.

The whole story is leftwing hogwash.

The entertaining part is that CNN doesn't even get that their own rhetoric is now propagandizing against their previous collusion stupidity. They are a sad joke.

It's amazing they are taken seriously at all.

I don't think they are, anymore. They've been left leaning since the beginning, but as of 2015 they dropped all pretense at actual impartial journalism.

They're DNC through and through.
