CNN’s Camerota: “Open and Shut” that Taking Hillary Dirt from Russia a Crime. Really?
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/06/2018 4:35:43 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

When it comes to the law, who you gonna believe: legal scholars, or Alisyn Camerota, with her American University degree in “broadcast journalism?”

On CNN this morning, co-host Camerota claimed that it was an “open and shut case” that it was a crime for the Trump campaign to meet with Russians for the purpose of taking dirt on Hillary from them. Always one to keep an open mind, Camerota added:

“I don’t want to parse this anymore. The law says you can’t do this. It’s very clear. The law explicitly says you cannot do this.”

Except that, when it comes to accepting information from foreign nationals, the law "explicitly" says no such thing. And that has been made clear by a variety of legal scholars, including CNN's own Paul Callan, who on CNN's website wrote:

I have been shocked at how Alison Camerota was able to cover her left wing convictions when she was at Foxnews. It is always amazing to me when those who have children going into the future sell their souls to socialism and communism which has always ended in some kind of genocide for one group or another. Since Camerota is white, her children are not going to fare well under the social regime she seems to promote through her job at CNN. The only thing we can do is pray for these Americans who have shut their eyes and ears to the lessons of history.

But didn’t the Trump dirt in the Steele Dossier come from Russia?

The woman is worried about her own existance. She is worried that all she values is coming to an end.

Everytone at CNN lays awake at night pondering the question
.......Will ATT&T fire me?

They (CNN and the rest of the leftist propaganda machine) know there was no crime committed. It is all smoke-screen to distract and hide the fact that the “dirt” on the Clinton campaign was evidence of very real crimes committed by the Clintons and their cohorts. Don’t lose sight of the blatant pay-for-play, uranium to Russia, 30,000+ emails, the broke-to-millionaire status...and on and on.

CNN sports another “legal scholar” who doesn’t know what the hell she’s talking about OR, the report was deliberately “Fake News”. Tell the people what YOU want them to hear and believe (Journalism 101)

For some of us who took LOGIC when it was offered. Explain to us again HOW it was okay for the FBI to bring false information about Donald Trump out in the campaign, paid for by the Democrats, but it was a CRIME that is impeachable for Donald J. Trump to do the same. Not that he did, but for the sake of arguement.

A month ago, I pointed this out. There is NO such law. You can get ‘dirt’ from Mexicans, Russians, dead-people, New York City soothsayers, Barbers, Texans, and even CNN journalists.

Camerota is about the dimmest ‘bulb’ that CNN has.

Remember when the media tried pretending that the leaked emails were fakes?

and then they pulled that “illegal to look at them except for us” crap

did the media ever actually do a report about how CNN colluded with the DNC and Clinton campaign to steal the 2016 Democrat primary from Bernie Sanders?

Natalia Veselnitskaya was not “the Russians”. She worked for OBAMA intelligence officials.

How about when Rep Adam Schiff was pranked by two guys and agreed to meet with Russians to get ‘compramat’ and naked pictures about President Trump?

what about that you b!tch, Camerata? Schiff was practically vibrating with glee.

Time for the republicans to get off their soft little butts
and hammer the point that Hillary was a security threat to the country due to her arrogant dismissal of protocol.

In related news, I’m sure Camerota would claim that it was an “open and shut case” that it was legal for the Hillary campaign to meet with Brits and Russians for the purpose of taking dirt on Trump from them. Always one to keep an open mind, Camerota will no doubt add:

“I don’t want to parse this anymore. The law says you can do this. It’s very clear. The law explicitly says you can do this.” To America’s globalist enemies on the left, the law is not an objective set of written rules; the law is a hammer for flattening those who oppose them - those who support individual human rights and freedom.

-- ... did the media ever actually do a report about how CNN colluded with the DNC and Clinton campaign to steal the 2016 Democrat primary from Bernie Sanders? --

Of course, but minus the obsession, and in a non-judgmental tone.

Same with CNN giving the debate questions to Hillary, in advance.

Yeah. What about the “dossier” that was used to justify FISA warrants? That was an attempt by political opponents to collect dirt on Trump via foreign agents. They shouldn’t even go there.

She used to cohost Fox and Friends.

She's a pretty good actress or has zero core beliefs.
