FAKE NEWS: CNN Still Peddling False Narrative On Jeff Sessions

by Casey | May 25, 2017 | Blog, Fake News

When you are a US Senator, you will meet with foreign ambassadors regularly as a normal part of your job. A single term in the Senate could have hundreds of meetings with foreign ambassadors. Again, it is part of their job.

A long debunked narrative that Jeff Sessions somehow violated protocol, was hiding meetings, or broke the law (as some asserted) is still alive and well and CNN.

Breitbart:

CNN used the two already reported meetings between Sessions and Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyac as the basis for a news story on the Attorney General.

Sessions did not mention the meetings, which took place as part of Sessions’ official duties as a United States Senator, on his SF-86, the disclosure form for those applying for “top secret” clearance. This fact was, by CNN’s own account, freely volunteered by the Justice Department.

DOJ spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores told CNN that Sessions did not list any of the dozens of ambassadors he met over years of being a senator.

This is completely fake news. Politicians and government bureaucrats from both parties defended Sessions on this baseless accusation.

I discussed it in detail on my show back in March when the story broke. I also carried Sessions’ press conference live on my show.
