During a hearing with the House Judiciary Committee on Friday, acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said he was concerned that CNN may have been tipped off to the arrest of Trump ally Roger Stone.
“I share your concern with the possibility that a media outlet was tipped off to Mr. Stone’s either indictments or arrest before it was made — that information was available to the public,” Whitaker said when asked by Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) about a right-wing conspiracy theory that CNN was made aware that the FBI was about to arrest Roger Stone.
Collins asked Whitaker if he was aware of anyone in the Justice Department sharing information about Stone’s arrest beforehand. Whitaker replied that he was not aware of any advance communication.
Because CNN was doing actually research / investigating?
Or
Because FUX News wasn’t tipped off?
After a couple of the GOPers take their turns and get obviously planned answers like this, blatantly directed at supporting baseless propaganda and feeding Faux News red meat, I’d be asking White Supremacy Module 6704 to name every Republican he’s met with, had lunch with, been in a room with or even fucking spoken to in the last month.
I recall watching CNN the morning of Stone’s arrest. The CNN on-site producer was interviewed and he clearly stated that the CNN crew simply watched for the federal grand jury to complete their work and the CNN crew then began to stake out Stone’s house, expecting something to happen.
Good old journalism in action!
And how is this relevant to the topic of the hearing? Maybe I am just missing the scope of this hearing. Would someone enlighten me?
Just like you would expect from a Trumptard, he doesn’t know what the organization he is running is doing, does he also spends all his day watching TV and talking with friends like the Dotard does?
