CENSORED: CNN & MSNBC Primetime Ignore Bombshell Durham Report

Just like their network counterparts, both CNN and MSNBC completely ignored the bombshell court filings from Special Counsel John Durham showing that Hillary Clinton’s campaign allegedly spied on then-President Donald Trump both at Trump Tower in New York and the White House. In fact, with the exception of a brief segment on Jake Tapper’s show in the 5 pm hour on CNN, the leftist media spent the entire day ignoring the news. 

CNN and MSNBC decided to spend their primetime cable news block, generally 8-11 p.m. EST on subjects like Trump’s finances, attacking Texas voter integrity legislation and the Democrat’s January 6 Committee. 

Credit where it’s due, CNN’s The Lead host Jake Tapper did cover the Durham news but he only devoted a measly two minutes and forty-seven seconds to the news.

The Special Counsel, former Trump Administration Attorney General Bill Barr, has revealed new details about 2016’s presidential race in our politics. As you may recall, Barr initially assigned U.S. attorney John Durham in 2019 to examine the Russia origins. Then, before Barr was elected in 2020, Barr appointed John Durham as Special Counsel. Durham indicted Michael Sussman, Hillary Clinton’s campaign lawyer and a Russian analyst for lying to the FBI. Tapper stated that both of them are not guilty and gave background information to viewers before updating them with the most recent developments. 

Tapper stated that Durham had “found new information” about Hillary Clinton’s research associates in court documents late Friday night. Tapper asked Perez what he knew about the researchers who supported Hillary Clinton, and what Durham was learning about their activities. Perez explained that the researchers were “supporters of Hillary Clinton” and they believed that there were “suspicious connections between Russian-made phones and Trump Tower” and the Trump White House.  

On the other side of the coin, Durham said this “was being used as essentially to dirty up former (…) President Trump, trying to get the intelligence community essentially to believe that Trump was in cahoots with the Russians.”   

Turning his focus specifically to former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussman, Tapper asked Perez “what’s the back story on Sussman?” Perez said that Sussman had not disclosed who he worked for at the time he met with FBI agents. This is part of what this filing was for was part of Sussman’s case. Durham asserts that Sussman disclosed this information, to the CIA. Durham also claims this data is used by the CIA to show that some of these records were being used again in an attempt to persuade the intelligence community of Trump’s collusion with Russia. 

Tapper and Perez only spent two minutes, forty-seven seconds on Durham. This is far better than completely ignoring the story like all the other leftist media.

JAKE Tapper: New revelations by the former Trump administration Attorney-General Bill Barr’s Special Counsel about the 2016 Presidential race are now in our politics. As you may recall, Barr initially assigned U.S. attorney John Durham in 2019 to examine the Russia origins. Then, before Barr left office in 2020 he appointed Durham as Special Counsel. Durham indicted Michael Sussman, a Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer and a Russian analyst for lying to the FBI. They both pleaded guilty. Durham claims that he discovered new information from researchers supporting Hillary Clinton in court documents filed late Friday night. CNN’s Evan Perez joins us now. What do we know of these researches for Hillary Clinton? And what is Durham learning about them?

EVAN PEREZ They believed they had seen suspicious connections between Russian phones and Donald Trump’s office at Trump Tower. Durham claims that this allegation was used to essentially dirty up President Trump to convince the intelligence community that Trump is in conspiracy with Russia. All of the data they had, they used. They did this primarily to identify it to Donald Trump and to display the types of internet traffic that occurred between the Russian-made smartphones and the Executive Office of the President. Durham asserts that this claim is not true. All of it is unfounded. All of this is data and was used before Donald Trump took office.

TAPPER: Okay. Durham revealed this in a Friday evening court filing relating to Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussman. Who he has received–he has gotten an indictment against Susman. Sussman says he’s not guilty. What’s the back story on Sussman? 

PEREZ Durham says that Sussman never divulged to whom he was working when he met the FBI. This is part of what this filing was for was part of Sussman’s case. Durham claims that Sussman gave this information to the CIA. This data was used to try to convince the intelligence community that Donald Trump was working with the Russians.

TAPPER : It’s all right. You are curiouser and more curious. Evan Perez, we are so grateful.
