Dana Rohrabacher Pretty Much Tells CNN They’re Full of It

Now that it looks like the Trump/Russia collusion investigation is drying up, those absolutely certain Trump has done something — anything — wrong (or, if nothing else, is unfit for office), are going all in on making an obstruction of justice charge stick by alleging Trump had conversations with Jeff Sessions demanding his Attorney General not recuse himself from the Mueller investigation. There was a long New York Times piece about it today that basically runs around fanning smoke trying to make a fire.

It ultimately does little more than prove Trump was unsure of himself regarding the investigation (I’d chalk that up to being out of his depth in the land of special counsel investigations rather than guilt, but there’s obviously debate about that) and was hopeful Sessions would put on the public face of loyal employee rather than what he actually did, which was to (quite correctly) recuse himself due to an ethical conflict of interest.

Welcome to politics, Mr. Trump. It’s different than business.

Because this is the newest salvo in the war to bring down the Trump administration, and because CNN is on the front lines of that war, the network did something kind of appalling (but that also kind of happens every day in the news industry): they flat out lied to California GOP Rep. Dana Rohrabacher and told him to come on air to discuss a segment on Jeff Sessions and his right turn on marijuana legalization (Rohrabacher isn’t too keen on Sessions these days). And then trapped him into discussing the Trump drama over alleged obstruction (because Rohrabacher isn’t too keen on Sessions these days). And then called him out for “scolding” poor Ana (because #hertoo I guess).

It’s a cheap trick. And CNN’s Ana Cabrera knows it because she is out of the gate aggressive and haughty; and even at one point weakly tries to make the case that this obstruction hunt is the news of the day to justify lying to the man.

“This…was supposed to be about cannabis,” Rohrabacher says.

Disgraceful. Watch the whole thing here:

And here are just a few of the responses saying Rohrabacher was bullying Ana, not that Ana misrepresented her intention to a sitting

There’s over 600 comments and many of them, after a quick scan, are a version of “Rohrabacher = Goliath, Ana = David”

So, as the progs work themselves into a frenzy trying to undo the Trump administration, expect the media to aide and abet.
