      Living outside of Atlanta where CNN is headquartered I've heard rumors from CNN employees that some of these "reports" from "anonymous sources" were simply made up by various "journalists" at the network. Hopefully they start investigating this.

        No, credit will not be given.
        They do this kind of nonsense all of the time and this is a rare instance where they're getting busted.

        How do I know?
        They'll generate more fake news tomorrow.

        Letting repeat offenders skate because of a mumbled apology is a sign of mental illness.

        NO. CREDITS. GIVEN.
        Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

          There will be no investigation because it's systemic. This isn't a one-off, it's CNN policy. They write stories based on what they want the public to think. They just never expected Comey to actually come forward with information that would refute them. But it's not CNN's fault, you see, because they were just reporting what they were told by their "anonymous sources", so a half-hearted retraction gets them off the hook. At least that's how they're going to play it, and then it's back to business as usual.

              Too funny. You believe the rumors coming from fake news employees.

                Poor little Jimmy.

                I didn't say that I thought they were true but given the fact that so many of the MSM's stories from "anonymous sources" were exposed today as being totally bogus it might be worthwhile investigating if there ever were "anonymous sources" in the first place.

                  Jim Comey was fired for no other reason than refusing to end the Flynn-Russian investigation. First Trump tried to pressure Comey into halting the investigation, ordering everyone else out of the room in order that he could do so without witnesses, then when that didn't work, he tried to get Dan Coates and Admiral Rogers to intervene with Comey. Trump himself admitted as much in his broadcast interview with, whats his name, Holt. Comey has contemporaneous notes concerning the events, and Trump, who is known for his pathological lying, denies what Comey wrote down at the time. The president then had the Russians into the white house and bragged that he got rid of Comey and that should end the burden of the investigation. I mean, if that isn't evidence of obstruction, what do you call it?

                          Did you miss the part in today's testimony when Comey admitted that the President of the United States has the legal authority to ask the FBI to suspend an investigation?

                            Notice that Comey admitted that Trump never directly asked him to end the investigation on Flynn.

                              I can't help but notice how nobody seems to be talking about how he said that Obama's attorney general Loretta Lynch instructing him to stop calling the inquiry into Hillary Clinton's behavior an investigation and instead use the the same term that the Clinton campaign was using (a "matter") made him feel uncomfortable as well.

                              Tellingly, CNN's chief national correspondent John King admitted that the MSM will pretty much ignore it.

                                You asked for evidence seer, I gave you evidence, and this is all you have to say about it? Why did you bother asking?
