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?
Camp out at Roger Stone’s house? When they could be investigating free speech at college campuses? Insane!
Son, it’s time to have the talk, about rethuglicans.
Lets take a moment here to take note that this is the top person at DOJ, playing along with conspiracy theories about some sort of deep state at the FBI.
Well, I find it much more concerning that rapper 21 Savage, who has been in this country since he was 7, gives a Tonight Show performance in which he goes after the administration and then finds himself the target of ICE six days later. The fact that CNN filmed Roger Stone’s arrest is the least concerning shit in the world. Who cares that they were tipped off? It doesn’t even remotely change the charges or the nature of them.
It was a question asked by a die hard Trump supporter to give the Trump surrogate the opportunity to voice support for a Trump fake news conspiracy theory that will now lead the evening “news” on Fox. Oh, and to waste time and deflect from the purpose of the hearing.
lol
Personally, I was surprised there was not a Red Cross canteen vehicle at the raid site.
Obviously, Whitaker is incapable of recognizing AN ACT OF JOURNALISM – seeing something happening at U.S. District Court in DC, figuring that SOMEONE was going to be arrested, and sending out reporters to stake out possible targets. And voila! The crew outside Roger Stone’s house gets the goods. That’s called JOURNALISM.
This is one of the most specious arguments from the party that lives by specious arguments. If CNN actually had been tipped off Wolf Blitzer in a running suit would have been there, not some red shirt producer. They were just scoping out the likely targets when they saw unusual activity from the grand jury.
Yes, Dumbass, we understand that you are “concerned”. But are you SUSAN COLLINS CONCERNED?!!!
Well, basically there are two kinds of people: There are those who have to be told everything and there are those who can figure it out for themselves. Republican congressmen fall into the first category and the people at CNN into the second. Furthermore, the people in the first category do not even realize that the people in the second category exist.
Whitaker shows that there is also at least one more category: There are also those who can’t figure it out after they’ve been told.
Well, according to Mr. Whitaker’s logic and righteous indignation, James O’Keefe should be incarcerated in Guantanamo Bay right about now, shouldn’t he?
Love it, or perhaps he prefers the more dramatic Jeff Flake Concerned.
I kinda suspect the real reason they’re blowing up the CNN conspiracy angle is because the CNN footage so clearly belies Stone’s outraged description of a SWAT team descending on him. It’s a relatively low energy arrest.
