the same a-hole who scolded white america for electing trump is now basically admitting that cnn is fabricating news to destroy him. The left truly believes that they are intellectually and morally superior to mainstream americans. How else can you convince yourself that double standards like this are acceptable?

Agreed. The only new content here was 2 quotes from Van Jones. Russia is a nothing burger and there's nothing you can do.

Could have been included yesterday without O'Keefe hyping up another video for today. I was expecting more.

Of course it will, but the spinning is decreasingly effective. Anyone with an IQ higher than Eurocrat's can see that CNN is absolute garbage.

I've got $20 that says the line will be something along the lines of "His point was that there is no way this will amount to anything because Trump has obstructed justice."
If that's the case then CNN would be smart to make this a huge issue to get O'Keefe to provide the unedited version.

Bless your heart.

You're as clueless when it comes to politics as you are to basic economics.

Pray tell, are you clueless about everything?

Meh, yesterday's drop was better. The point is already proven. Muh Russians is fake news


but ((their)) response to it was, "he was just a nutrition producer".

Van Jones is a well known political commentator who served in the Obama Admin. They can't deflect this one.

nope, he played it PERFECTLY.

CNN discounted yesterday's video by saying 'the guy is just some random guy in the CNN health department so he isn't up on the news'

Then O'Keefe boomed them today by trotting out motherfricking VAN JONES saying the same thing.

CNN is squirming right now.

And with this one it was abruptly cut off. O'Keefe's detractors will jump on that...we don't know how much Jones may have expounded on WHY it's a nothing burger. I wish he had left it going to the end of the conversation.

Nobody is going to care, and I don't like the way Okeefe releases these things. His presentation lessens the impact.

toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo easy.

o'keefe has something up his sleeve. he *WANTS* CNN to legitimize this video by calling for the full release (hence more attention brought to this) and i suspect the full version will further dig Van Jones' grave so when CNN demands he release it..they will regret it immediately.

This is a lot easier to spin than yesterday's was. All Van has to say is I think this investigation is going to come up empty handed on the air, and then he's let off, while still implying he thinks it actually happened.

And of course Russia attempted to meddle in our election just like we do theirs as the producer pointed out yesterday, but we're probably not going to find anything direct though. It's just a fact of modern politics.

Yes. This is the real burger, but not in the way that you hope.
