It was a lie from the getgo, re: Buzzfeed and CNN. And they knew it. Scum

There was no briefing that included the oppo research dossier. In fact, the IC has found ZERO ties to Trump and Russia, so there would have been no reason to even brief Trump on the dossier.

Buzzfeed nor CNN made any attempt to contact IC officials, because NBC did, and here is their response

NBC News actually talked to the IC
quote:

NBC news reporter: Intelligence officials go further and say, as far as they are concerned, and I'm going to quote now "Intel and law enforcement officials agree that none of the investigations have found any conclusive or direct link between Donald Trump and the Russian govt. Period."

So you might wonder why was it part of this addendum if, if the intelligence community didn't believe to be true. Says it wasn't verified . . . This is the kind of political junk that is out there. We don't believe it.

after listening to CNN this morning, they're basically standing on the mountain of "we just reported Trump was briefed!"

Link? Because there are plenty of reports to the contrary.

No shite. That's what everyone has reported. The media hasn't been saying the dossier is true. They are wondering why it was included in an intelligence briefing.

which is so disingenuous. that's just the vehicle they needed to spread fake news. they did not make a good faith effort to verify or debunk any of the information otherwise they'd have known that Michael cohen wasn't in prague let alone acting as a go between with Russians...because that took the internet about 5 minutes after it was published to read it and debunk it.

strangely enough I think buzzfeed acted way more ethically because other outlets had alluded to it, based segments on the foundation of it, and cnn was reporting on it. buzzfeed could've scored a huge win and publicity by debunking the false information, highlighting that portions of it are absurd without verification and running with the headline "CNN is fake news"

CNN used the word "credible" in their report. The intent was clearly to draw a line between Trump and the radical claims.

Now they've exposed themselves and sprayed doubt all over the "Russian connection" bullshite they've been harping on for a month now.

If the IC briefed the President that I was a terrorist I'd want to know why.

So, some of the media, wrote BS and their excuse is that they say it wasn't verified information. Dear lawd above. My how desperate the liberal AGENDA lovers have become.

As a side note, this continues to backfire.

that's the point, cnn withheld the part that it was total garbage.

see, when the IC reports that you're a child molester, cnn won't show them the fraudulent dossier, they'll just say it's unverified. and since they said it is unverified, none of your friends, family, etc. will treat you differently or suspect a thing

CNN was actually trying to spin this on Trump b/c he's started using it so much

they really don't like the fact that he takes their talking points and throws it back at them

it's hilarious theater
