CNN story sourcing Lanny Davis - pathetic

CNN recently ran a story quoting an anonymous source, saying that Trump had prior knowledge of the “Trump Tower meeting”, dun dun dun!!

Lanny Davis, a former Clinton operative who is now Michael Cohen’s attorney, came out and admitted he was the anonymous source, and he also admitted that he lied about being able to prove that Trump knew about the meeting.

CNN refuses to retract its story, they stand by it. The fact that their source has recanted, isn’t compelling to them.

Welcome to news coverage in the era of Trump. This is CNN.

Another prime example of why this is all so effed up.

BOTH sides distort in order to provide the echo chamber

True both sides do this, and it's very very destructive. But the right only controls 1 TV station, which 1% of the nation watches.

Everybody else was just reporting on the CNN story, they don't have access to the sources or methods CNN based their reporting on.

CNN may be slanted to the left as a network but their fact based reporting is very credible. I don't think they would have published this story unless they were pretty confident it was accurate.

Regardless of any reports do you think Donnie Jr didn't go running to Daddy with the great news that he was getting Dirt on Hillary?

Jr thought he was getting the dirt before the meeting, that's why there was a meeting.

It's pretty hard to believe Trump didn't have prior knowledge.

I agree it's hard to imagine. But that's not what CNN said. They said an anonymous source said he could prove it, and the anonymous source now says that's false.

How do you know he is the anonymous source?
Because he says so?

Yes, (1) because he says so (and he would know), and (2) CNN isn't denying that.

Man you are something.

This is a circular argument
Quote anonymous source(s)
Someone says they were the anonymous source and admits(?) lying
Report says no still true
Who’s lying and how do you prove it?
Who cares anyways
I surmise that little Donnie told big Donnie but at the end of the day wtf difference does that make

Mueller please save us, Christ I hope there is some closure soon and we can all move past the collusion question. Doesn’t mean I don’t still have big concerns about influence Russia has over Trump.

I’m sure I will all wrap up right before we have to vote. Because this hasn’t been politicized or anything...

The networks have continued to invite back other Washingtonians who have been caught making false statements, including White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and top Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, who coined the phrase “alternative facts.”


funny he has been all over the news making claims

CNN’s airwaves. "I made a mistake,” he said of his denial, adding: "I did not mean to be cute.” He claimed he didn’t lie but rather “unintentionally misspoke.”

More things that make you go Hummm

“A strong feeling.” That just doesn’t make much sense. Davis is a lawyer for his client, not a pundit. He can speak to Cohen about sensitive matters. His job is literally to speak publicly for Cohen, and getting their story straight is Job No. 1. The idea that Davis was simply freelancing with a narrative he hadn’t run by his client just doesn’t ring true. And if he was, how has Cohen not fired him for so clearly botching his defense?

But But Lenny Davis another attempt by Jim and Fox to shine the laser point some where else .... I guess they have never heard of collaborative evidence ... the case has been being made well before Cohan

Jim your to funny


Lanny Davis, a former Clinton operative but his last boss was bush????

President George W. Bush appointed Davis to serve as the only Democratic member of the five-member Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, created by the U.S. Congress as part of the 2005 Intelligence Reform Act.


He served as special counsel to the President from 1996 to 1998, during which time he also was the spokesman for Clinton in issues regarding campaign finance investigations and other legal issues, including President Clinton's impeachment trial.[citation needed]
