CNN issues correction after Comey statement contradicts reporting
2017-06-08
Lying Liars Who Lie
CNN has corrected a Tuesday report after the release of former FBI Director James Comey's opening statement for his Thursday testimony in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee contradicted the reports' sources.

The CNN report said Comey was expected to dispute President Trump's claims that Comey said he was not under investigation on multiple occasions.

The report, titled "Comey expected to refute Trump," was based on unnamed sources and said Comey's conversations with the president "were much more nuanced," and that Trump drew the wrong conclusion.

The story was complied by four CNN journalists, including Gloria Borger, Eric Lichtblau, Jake Tapper and Brian Rokus.

Borger reiterated the reports claims in an appearance on CNN Tuesday.
"But other than being totally wrong on that main point, we stand by the rest...errr....umm. Nevermind"

#6  He didn't say a word when Lynch "asked" him to downplay the Clinton email investigation. He didn't want to end up in Ft. Marcey Park.

#4  Just think of CNN as a supermarket weekly of cable news.

if any article says "going to", "is planned", and other future tenses in it, I ignore them. I wait until something actually happen then read about it.

I have a sneaky suspicion Comey may be playing the press, exposing them for what they are.

I thought it's just another way of saying "I've invented it".
