So much for Fox on the right, CNBC on the left and CNN in the middle. CNN is non-stop Trump sex/scandal BS and very rarely mentions Clinton's emails, etc. Don Lemon, Anderson Cooper and Erin Burnett especially act like a personal member of their family was raped by Trump.

Yea I get it, Trump is a scumbag, but Clinton clearly is corrupt as hell. At least try to be partial. Then it came out today that The Washington Post had zero stories today on Clinton's emails and then there is the venerable New York Times with its largest shareholder being Mexican Billionaire Carlos Slim who has given 250K and 500K to the Clinton slush fund, a.k.a. The Clinton "Foundation".

And the issues? Forget diving into the issues. Just sex scandal after sex scandal.

Very very sad commentary on the US Press corp.

And for the record, I supported Kasich, who yes had zero chance.

Yes, by all means, let's discuss stolen e-mails selectively released by a third party attempting to influence our electoral process. Trump is personally repulsive and dangerously unqualified to be president. End of story. Get over the bullshit about Hillary.

Get over the Hillary bullshit?? Seriously? And I agree Trump is a scumbag. But networks giving Hillary debate questions in advance? Podesta clearly a hypocrite? The Clinton Foundation clearly being a pay for play slush fund with 90% of revenues not going to charity??

95% of CNN's coverage seemingly is Trump sex BS.

Get to the fucking issues.

So it's okay for a member of the "3rd Estate" to be openly coordinating with a political party and censoring news? Openly running pro-war propaganda?

I dunno, man.

But I guess the end justifies the means, right?

CNN has always been a bullshit "news" station, just like the rest of them, but they've clearly taken the stance that they're pro-Hillary, and they used to at least try to act non-partisan.

I'm torn on this one because Trump is completely unfit to be a dog catcher, let alone U.S. president. He also starts fights with everyone, even Fox News, so he shouldn't be surprised when the media grows to despise him.

All that said, I can't condone what they're doing. They've become a 24-hour, nonstop Trump bashing machine. All they do is interview his accusers and play that video over and over. I despise Trump and do think he is a true threat to our Democracy, but I can't condone any media outlet becoming so one-sided (not that CNN is the first, but they used to be the one of the "big 3" that was in the middle).

When is the last time anyone heard a conversation about this race that focused around policy?

It's just sad. CNN needs ratings so it's non stop sex. Issues? Yea right. I guess that's why there is a C Span.

But why aren't stories like this covered by CNN?

Wikileaks: Qatar paid Bill Clinton a million dollars for his birthday while Hillary was keeping quiet the fact that Qatar was funding ISIS.

Where is the outrage?

And you are exactly right about that sex audio tape - it was played over and over and over.

And I think they've dropped Corey Lewandowski too. Haven't seem him in 2-3 days.

Do be mad at me. Be mad at the Republican Party for nominating a steaming pile for president and drop the false equivalency. Trump is injecting alt-right bile into the political mainstream and has Bannon's hand so far up his ass it's embarrassing. The reason there is more negative coverage on CNN or anywhere else regarding Trump is because he's earned it.

I think it was the people who elected Trump - and again I supported Kasich. People are sick of politicians fucking up the country and Trump represented change. Unfortunately the guy is a nutcase egomaniac so now it will be Hillary demanding her pussy gets sucked daily in the White House.

And creepy Bill will be on the prowl for hot interns again (or any intern for that matter who will suck him off).

America 2016. We are fucked.

This Gloria Allred client looks to have ulterior motives. We'll see what CNN says about this...


Official Team Trump Verified account
‏@TeamTrump

"...Summer’s actions today are nothing more than an attempt to regain the spotlight at Mr. Trump’s expense." https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-rele ... john-barry


- October 14, 2016 -
Statement from John Barry

"I am completely shocked and bewildered by my cousin, Summer Zervos, and her press conference today. Ever since she was on The Apprentice she has had nothing but glowing things to say about Mr. Trump. For almost a decade, my cousin would talk about how much she looked up to Mr. Trump and viewed him as an inspiration – a success story she wanted to copy. Summer would also talk about how kind and caring Mr. Trump was on the show, and how he would even visit children in hospitals without telling the press. She has praised the good things he's done for her life, and in fact she converted her friends and our family to become Trump supporters even though we’ve never been active in politics before.


“That was until Summer invited Mr. Trump to her restaurant during the primary and he said no. I think Summer wishes she could still be on reality TV, and in an effort to get that back she’s saying all of these negative things about Mr. Trump. That’s not how she talked about him before. I can only imagine that Summer’s actions today are nothing more than an attempt to regain the spotlight at Mr. Trump’s expense, and I don’t think it reflects well.” – John Barry, Mission Viejo, CA (first cousin of Summer Zervos)



READ: Trump Releases Summer Zervos Email to Rhona Graff

Published 12:53 am EDT, October 15, 2016 Updated 11:44 am EDT, October 15, 2016


Donald Trump’s campaign has released an email it says is from his accuser Summer Zervos to Rhona Graff, a high-level Trump official. You can read it in full above.

The email is part of Trump’s efforts to push back against allegations that he subjected Zervos and multiple other women to unwanted physical contact and advances. Trump denies all of the allegations.


Attorney Gloria Allred (L) holds a press conference with Summer Zervos, a former candidate on “The Apprentice” season five, who is accusing Donald Trump of inappropriate sexual conduct October 14, 2016 in Los Angeles, California. This is the first time the accuser has spoken publicly about the alleged incident. (Getty)

The email released by the campaign on October 14 is dated April 14, 2016 and is addressed from Summer Zervos to Rhona Graff. Commdiginews has described Graff as “current assistant and a senior vice president” for Trump who “has worked with Trump for more than 25 (years) and describes him as, ‘brilliant, insightful, funny, charismatic and surprisingly down to earth.'”

The subject line of the email says “Summer Zervos Restaurant.”
Summer Zervos, Donald Trump accuser, Donald Trump sexual harassment

In it, Zervos writes, “I am in a unique situation being that I am the only former Apprentice who operates a business where Mr. Trump’s supporters can walk in, express their admiration for him and inquire about my experience.”

She continues, “Mr. Trump has a great deal of support in Huntington Beach, Cal. He has witnessed both my highs and lows operating a small business…we hire a diverse crew and embrace anyone who is honest while working hard. Mr. Trump is cut from the same cloth.”

The email concludes, “I would greatly appreciate reconnecting at this time… He will know my intentions are genuine.”

Zervos, who was a contestant on the Apprentice in 2006, alleges that in 2007 she met with Donald Trump to discuss a job opportunity, only for him to sexually harass her and thrust his genitals at her. She held a press conference with celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred to lodge the accusations against Trump.

According to The Hill, Zervos referenced the email, “along with another message sent a few days later, in her tearful press conference Friday” and said “she wanted to confront Trump and give him the ‘opportunity to clear the air.'”

Allred said in the press conference that she had spoken to several people who Zervos told about the incident at the time and who can corroborate her account. Trump adamantly denies the claims of Zervos and other women who have come forward.

The Trump campaign also released an email from Zervos’ cousin, John Barry, in which he claims that Zervos spoke positively about Trump until Trump declined an invitation to come to her restaurant.

Fox is clearly biased. CNN at one time was in the middle. Not anymore. They need ratings to survive so clearly they broadcast this salacious "news" in an effort to remain profitable.

So yes, actual journalism in this country is dead, be it Fox, CNN, NBC or anywhere.

HERE IT IS=> List of Debunked Groper Allegations by Corrupt Media Against Donald Trump

Jim Hoft Oct 15th, 2016 9:41 am 77 Comments

The Democrat-media complex carpet bombed Donald Trump with several alleged groping stories this week from several women.

The media clearly did not fact check these stories. They ran the stories no matter how farfetched they were. It is clear from the number of stories dropped in the last week that this was a coordinated effort, probably from inside the Hillary Clinton campaign. The goal was not to present facts to the public. Their goal was to destroy Donald Trump.

In 2008 the Democrat media hit Republican John McCain with similar allegations. Vicki Iseman, the woman named in the hit piece, settled with The New York Times after the election.

So, it is clear that this is a commonly used tactic by Democrats – use the media to slander and destroy their opposition before the election.

Thankfully, today the conservative media is much stronger than it was eight years ago.

Here are a few of the alleged “groping” incidents against Donald Trump that have now been debunked.

1.) Jessica Leeds
nyt-accuser

Jessica Leeds accused a young Donald Trump of groping her in first class on a flight from Dallas to New York City on Braniff Air in 1979.

Leeds said young multimillionaire Trump lifted the armrest to grope her during the flight.

braniff-air-armrest
The armrests on Braniff 727s appear to be stationary, they can’t be raised.

She also used lyrics from the Velvet Underground song to describe the alleged “groping.”

Leeds also said if Trump had kept his hands above the waist she might have been ok with it
…Huh?

Tonight a British passenger on the same plane as Trump and Leeds refuted her claims.
Anthony Gilberthorpe said Jessica Leeds was flirting with Trump and Trump never touched her.
anthony-gilberthorpe
Anthony Gilberthorpe

The New York Post reported:

Donald Trump’s campaign says a British man is countering claims that the GOP presidential nominee groped a woman on a cross-country flight more than three decades ago.

The man says he was sitting across from the accuser and contacted the Trump campaign because he was incensed by her account — which is at odds with what he witnessed.

“I have only met this accuser once and frankly cannot imagine why she is seeking to make out that Trump made sexual advances on her. Not only did he not do so (and I was present at all times) but it was she that was the one being flirtatious,” Anthony Gilberthorpe said in a note provided to The Post by the Trump campaign.

In an exclusive interview arranged by the campaign, Gilberthorpe said he was on the flight — in either 1980 or 1981— where Jessica Leeds claimed Trump groped her.

Gilberthorpe, 54, said he was sitting across the first class aisle from the couple and saw nothing inappropriate. Leeds was wearing a white pantsuit, he said, while Trump was wearing a suit and cuff-links, which he gave to his British flight companion.

Indeed, Gilberthorpe claimed, Leeds was “trying too hard” in her attempt to win Trump over.

“She wanted to marry him,” Gilberthorpe said of Leeds, who apparently made the confession when Trump excused himself and went to the bathroom.

There was no kissing, but the “shrill” Leeds was “very much in your face” with the real estate developer.

2.) Natasha Stoynoff

donald-trump-butler
Anthony P. “Tony” Senecal

Donald Trump’s former butler stepped forward to debunk another accuser’s story.

Anthony Senecal said the so-called incident with the People magazine hack “never happened.”
The Palm Beach Post reported:

Donald Trump’s former Mar-a-Lago Butler backed up the Republican nominee for president in denying the billionaire groped a reporter from People magazine.

“No, that never happened. Come on, that’s just bull crap,” said Anthony “Tony” Senecal.

People magazine writer Natasha Stoynoff wrote an essay this week about how she was groped by Trump at Mar-a-Lago during an interview in the early 2000s. She is one of four women to make accusations against Trump of unwanted sexual advances.

The issue has become central to the presidential race since a 2005 hot-mic video surfaced of Trump bragging about using his celebrity to grope women. He has downplayed the incident as “locker-room talk.”

Trump, at his rally in West Palm Beach on Thursday, said he was always in a public place with Stoynoff and denied he ever acted inappropriately.

So Donald Trump has one witness who said the alleged groping never happened. The People magazine writer has NO witnesses.

And then there’s this…
Melania Trump, wife of Donald Trump, sent a cease and desist letter to People Magazine on Thursday for its fraudulent article on Mrs. Donald Trump.

Here is the letter:

Melania wrote:

The following statements in the Story, among others, are false and completely fictionalized. We therefore demand that you immediately and permanently remove each of these statements from the Story, and print a prominent retraction and apology:

1. “That winter, I actually bumped into Melania on Fifth Avenue, in front of Trump Tower as she walked into the building, carrying baby Barron.”
2. “‘Natasha, why don’t we see you anymore?’ she asked, giving me a hug.”
3. “I was quiet and smiled, telling her I’d missed her, and I squeezed little Barron’s foot.”

The true facts are these: Mrs. Trump did not encounter Ms. Stoynoff on the street, nor have any conversation with her. The two are not friends and were never friends or even friendly.

The Clinton media is just throwing crap out there hoping something will stick.

3.) Summer Zervos (and her representative Gloria Allred – a Hillary Clinton delegate at the Democratic convention)

WELL ISN’T THIS INTERESTING….
apprentice-summer-liar-trump

Another day, another sexual harassment smear on GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump by the mainstream media.
Except this one just fell apart.

The latest woman, Summer Zervos who was a contestant on ‘The Apprentice,’ claimed today that Trump sexually harassed her.

But, as it turns out, it was Zervos who continued to stay in contact with Trump.
Via the Donald Trump Facebook page:
trump-apprentice-accuser

If Trump did sexually harass Zervos, why would she be reaching out for help with her business by contacting him? Wouldn’t she be afraid and disgusted by him?

4.) Mindy McGillivray

Mindy McGillivray says Donald Trump nudged her at a concert at Mar-a-Lago at a concert on January 24, 2003. She went public with her story this week.

There was no such concert at Mar-a-Lago on January 24, 2003.
GOT News reported:

Mindy McGillivray is falsely claiming that Donald Trump “nudged” her at a Mar-a-Lago concert that never happened. “Sexual assault”? Give us a break.

The hoaxing media has thrown a slew of “sexual assault” allegations at Donald Trump, hoping one sticks and to create a haze of controversy around the GOP nominee.

Melinda Rose “Mindy” McGillivray, told the Palm Beach Post after the second presidential debate that someone bumped her backstage at a Ray Charles concert held at Mar-A-Lago on January 24, 2003:

After the show, [Ken] Davidoff and McGillivray were standing in a pavilion behind the main house in the middle of a group of people. To their left was Regis Philbin and his wife, Joy, according to Davidoff. To McGillivray’s immediate right was Trump and his fiancée, Melania.

“Ray already performed. He’s ready to leave. He’s saying his goodbyes to everyone,’’ McGillivray recalled.

“All of a sudden I felt a grab, a little nudge. I think it’s Ken’s camera bag, that was my first instinct. I turn around and there’s Donald. He sort of looked away quickly. I quickly turned back, facing Ray Charles, and I’m stunned.’’

McGillivray said she remembers saying to herself, ‘’‘OK, am I going to say something now and make a scene or be quiet?’ I chose to stay quiet.’’

Davidoff said he did not witness the alleged groping but he said he has never had any reason to doubt McGillivray.

Asked about the possibility that what she felt was Trump or someone accidentally bumping into her, McGillivray said no. “This was a pretty good nudge. More of a grab,’’ she said. “It was pretty close to the center of my butt. I was startled. I jumped.’’



…Critical details of McGillivray’s story don’t add up.

McGillivray claims that when she was nudged in 2003, Trump and his wife Melania were engaged. But a quick Google search proves this is false: Trump proposed to Melania in April 2004. Why didn’t the Palm Beach Post or McGillivray check this obvious detail?

Perhaps because they never bothered to verify a Ray Charles concert at Mar-A-Lago even happened on January 24, 2003. A Getty Images search shows Trump and Melania posing with Ray Charles at Mar-A-Lago … in a photo by Davidoff Photos Studio, created on January 1, 2003, more than three weeks before McGillivray claimed she was “grabbed” at a Ray Charles concert. A Ray Charles concert chronology shows that on January 23, a Ray Charles concert in Seattle was canceled, but nothing was scheduled for January 24.

5.) Kristin Anderson

Kristin Anderson claims a young Donald Trump groped her while he was sitting alone at a nightclub in New York City in the 1990s. She gave her story to the Washington Post, one of many careless anti-Trump rags.

She claims Trump touched her vagina at a club, while sitting alone, in the 1990s.
She never came forward until now – three weeks outside of a national election.

Here’s Trump’s response:
“It’s nonsense. It’s false… They are coming after me to try to destroy the greatest political movement in our country. The political establishment is trying to stop us because they no we are a threat… Hillary is the most corrupt person to ever seek the presidency of the United States… These allegations are 100% false. They’re made up. They’ve never happened.

Trump went on to tell his supporters he’s never sat alone at a club.

Yea I get it, Trump is a scumbag, but Clinton clearly is corrupt as hell. At least try to be partial. Then it came out today that The Washington Post had zero stories today on Clinton's emails and then there is the venerable New York Times with its largest shareholder being Mexican Billionaire Carlos Slim who has given 250K and 500K to the Clinton slush fund, a.k.a. The Clinton "Foundation".

And the issues? Forget diving into the issues. Just sex scandal after sex scandal.

Very very sad commentary on the US Press corp.

And for the record, I supported Kasich, who yes had zero chance.


The sex scandal is a bigger story and should be covered more. That being said CNN stopped trying to be objective around June after Trump continued to lie about their reporting. NYT has NEVER been a fan of Hillary's.

I think the big stories are health care, jobs, the budget deficit, ISIS, etc. but obviously getting expert panels discussing these issues in depth would garner zero ratings, so we get all this sex scandal crap non-stop.

Just a sign of the times and an indictment of capitalism.

Get over the Hillary bullshit?? Seriously? And I agree Trump is a scumbag. But networks giving Hillary debate questions in advance? Podesta clearly a hypocrite? The Clinton Foundation clearly being a pay for play slush fund with 90% of revenues not going to charity??

95% of CNN's coverage seemingly is Trump sex BS.

Get to the fucking issues.


Minus the Podesta stuff, I'm not sure that you could consume more right wing click bait to believe stuff that has been debunked by MANY.

Your statement about the Clinton Foundation and CNN is COMPLETELY false. If you want to discuss that we can.

On my way to work but would be glad to. I'm sure you remember Watergate. Don't you feel that wiping the email servers, destroying of evidence etc. by the Clinton people, essentially a massive coverup, is the same type of behavior that resulted in jail time for Haldeman, et al and Nixon resigning in disgrace?

Certainly seems like a double standard. And what about Comey and his background??

http://www.breitbart.com/2016-president ... onnection/

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A review of FBI Director James Comey’s professional history and relationships shows that the Obama cabinet leader — now under fire for his handling of the investigation of Hillary Clinton — is deeply entrenched in the big-money cronyism culture of Washington, D.C. His personal and professional relationships — all undisclosed as he announced the Bureau would not prosecute Clinton — reinforce bipartisan concerns that he may have politicized the criminal probe.

These concerns focus on millions of dollars that Comey accepted from a Clinton Foundation defense contractor, Comey’s former membership on a Clinton Foundation corporate partner’s board, and his surprising financial relationship with his brother Peter Comey, who works at the law firm that does the Clinton Foundation’s taxes.

Lockheed Martin

When President Obama nominated Comey to become FBI director in 2013, Comey promised the United States Senate that he would recuse himself on all cases involving former employers.

But Comey earned $6 million in one year alone from Lockheed Martin. Lockheed Martin became a Clinton Foundation donor that very year.

Comey served as deputy attorney general under John Ashcroft for two years of the Bush administration. When he left the Bush administration, he went directly to Lockheed Martin and became vice president, acting as a general counsel.
Autoplay: On | Off

How much money did James Comey make from Lockheed Martin in his last year with the company, which he left in 2010? More than $6 million in compensation.

Lockheed Martin is a Clinton Foundation donor. The company admitted to becoming a Clinton Global Initiative member in 2010.

According to records, Lockheed Martin is also a member of the American Chamber of Commerce in Egypt, which paid Bill Clinton $250,000 to deliver a speech in 2010.

In 2010, Lockheed Martin won 17 approvals for private contracts from the Hillary Clinton State Department.

HSBC Holdings

In 2013, Comey became a board member, a director, and a Financial System Vulnerabilities Committee member of the London bank HSBC Holdings.

“Mr. Comey’s appointment will be for an initial three-year term which, subject to re-election by shareholders, will expire at the conclusion of the 2016 Annual General Meeting,” according to HSBC company records.

HSBC Holdings and its various philanthropic branches routinely partner with the Clinton Foundation. For instance, HSBC Holdings has partnered with Deutsche Bank through the Clinton Foundation to “retrofit 1,500 to 2,500 housing units, primarily in the low- to moderate-income sector” in “New York City.”

“Retrofitting” refers to a Green initiative to conserve energy in commercial housing units. Clinton Foundation records show that the Foundation projected “$1 billion in financing” for this Green initiative to conserve people’s energy in low-income housing units.

Who Is Peter Comey?

When our source called the Chinatown offices of D.C. law firm DLA Piper and asked for “Peter Comey,” a receptionist immediately put him through to Comey’s direct line. But Peter Comey is not featured on the DLA Piper website.

Peter Comey serves as “Senior Director of Real Estate Operations for the Americas” for DLA Piper. James Comey was not questioned about his relationship with Peter Comey in his confirmation hearing.

DLA Piper is the firm that performed the independent audit of the Clinton Foundation in November during Clinton-World’s first big push to put the email scandal behind them. DLA Piper’s employees taken as a whole represent a major Hillary Clinton 2016 campaign donation bloc and Clinton Foundation donation base.

DLA Piper ranks #5 on Hillary Clinton’s all-time career Top Contributors list, just ahead of Goldman Sachs.

And here is another thing: Peter Comey has a mortgage on his house that is owned by his brother James Comey, the FBI director.

Peter Comey’s financial records, obtained by Breitbart News, show that he bought a $950,000 house in Vienna, Virginia, in June 2008. He needed a $712,500 mortgage from First Savings Mortgage Corporation.

But on January 31, 2011, James Comey and his wife stepped in to become Private Party lenders. They granted a mortgage on the house for $711,000. Financial records suggest that Peter Comey took out two such mortgages from his brother that day.

This financial relationship between the Comey brothers began prior to James Comey’s nomination to become director of the FBI.

DLA Piper did not answer Breitbart News’ question as to whether James Comey and Peter Comey spoke at any point about this mortgage or anything else during the Clinton email investigation.

Peter Comey Re-Designed the FBI Building

FBI Director James Comey grew up in the New Jersey suburbs with his brother Peter. Both Comeys were briefly taken captive in 1977 by the “Ramsey rapist,” but the boys managed to escape through a window in their home, and neither boy was harmed.

James Comey became a prosecutor who worked on the Gambino crime family case. He went on to the Bush administration, a handful of private sector jobs, and then the Obama administration in 2013.

Peter Comey, meanwhile, went into construction.

After getting an MBA in real estate and urban development from George Washington University in 1998, Peter Comey became an executive at a company that re-designed George Washington University between 2004 and 2007 while his brother was in town working for the Bush administration.

In January 2009, at the beginning of the Obama administration, Peter Comey became “a real estate and construction consultant” for Procon Consulting.

Procon Consulting’s client list includes “FBI Headquarters Washington, DC.”

So what did Procon Consulting do for FBI Headquarters? Quite a bit, apparently. According to the firm’s records:

Procon provided strategic project management for the consolidation of over 11,000 FBI personnel into one, high security, facility.

Since 1972 the Federal Bureau of Investigation has had its headquarters in a purpose built 2.1 million square foot building on Pennsylvania Avenue. Having become functionally obsolete and in need of major repairs, GSA and the FBI were considering ways to meet the space needs required to maintain the Bureau’s mission and consolidate over 11,000 personnel.

Procon assisted GSA in assessing the FBI’s space needs and options for fulfilling those needs. Services provided included project management related to site evaluations, budgeting, due diligence, and the development of procurement and funding strategies.

Those “funding strategies” included talking to “stakeholders”: “Worked with stakeholders and key leadership to identify strategic objectives, goals and long range plans for capital and real estate projects.”

Procon Consulting obtained its contract for FBI Headquarters prior to James Comey’s nomination to serve as director of the FBI.

In June 2011, Peter Comey left Procon Consulting to become “Senior Director of Real Estate Operations for the Americas” for DLA Piper.

Peter Comey has generated some controversy in that role. According to Law360 in May 2013 (the same month that James Comey was confirmed as someone being considered by Obama to become FBI director):

Two real estate services businesses filed a $10 million suit against the law firm Monday alleging it stiffed them on as much as $760,000 of work done at DLA Piper’s Chicago office and improperly gave proprietary information to a competitor.

….

The plaintiffs take particular aim at Peter Comey, DLA Piper’s senior director of real estate operations. Leasecorp and SpaceLogik include several emails in the complaint that are purportedly from DLA Piper senior real estate partners Jay Epstein and Rich Klawiter and are sharply critical of Comey’s handling of the matter. In one email, Epstein wrote that “it’s an embarrassment for the firm to be treating someone who we are working with like this.”

In another email allegedly from Klawiter on Feb. 20, the DLA Piper partner informed Leasecorp President Michael Walker, a principal for both plaintiffs, that Comey had sent him and Epstein an email claiming that the real estate services firms were behind on their contractual obligations.

“I just received an email from Peter (Jay was also a recipient) that is so inflammatory I can’t even send it or you’ll hit the roof,” Klawiter said in the email, according to the complaint. “This is not going to end well.”

I didn't read any of that. I believe that Hillary's MANY explanations about the emails are bullshit. While it may not have technically been a crime she is guilty of, I am confident someone was covering something up for her. That has nothing to do with what you posted though. Looking forward to your response later.

For what's it's worth it's been up on their website for 12 hours.


False. The WaPo story I linked had a 9:49 AM time stamp. Yours has no time stamp, and was not up when I made the OP.

DO. BETTER.

He is an idiot in the first place, if he takes CNN seriously. Trying to equate CNN's bias in covering Trump's MANY scandals, to FOX ignoring (at least, at that point) the Kansas terrorist story is stupid.

I see a lot of "sources" and "reports" being cited, and the word "allegedly" being used.
