    Default CNN Walks Back Jeff Sessions-Russia Bombshell

    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.

    “A legal expert who regularly assists officials in filling out the form disagrees with the Justice Department’s explanation, suggesting that Sessions should have disclosed the meetings,” CNN asserted.

    The CNN report led to breathless coverage by the rest of the legacy media, who painted the non-disclosures as a Trump official trying to hide problematic meetings with the Russians.

    However, CNN admitted early Monday that FBI emails prove that Sessions’ explanation for the non-disclosures is accurate.

    How many different ways can you express that the democrats are doing their ABSOLUTE BEST to CREATE a CRIME?

    It's treason.

    How many times did they "MAKE A MISTAKE" that painted OBAMA in a BAD LIGHT? None.
    How many times have they "MADE A MISTAKE" in president Trump's FAVOR? None.

    It is PAINFULLY CLEAR what these SHIT STAINS are up to, and I'm damn sick and tired of it already. I think most Americans are.
