CNN Pushes Fake News on WikiLeaks, Ignores Obama-Clinton-Russia Collusion on Dossier

RUSH: Oh, my. This is too good! “Email Reveals Effort to Give Trump Campaign WikiLeaks Documents.” It’s a “CNN exclusive.” CNN thinks they’re really on to something here. You know, Donald Trump Jr. wants to claim privilege, not have to tell investigators what he talked to his dad about after he met with the honey pot from Russia, that phony meeting. “CNN Exclusive: Email Reveals Effort to Give Trump Campaign WikiLeaks Documents.” So what? There’s no crime in the campaign at all!

Julian Assange has denied forever that Russia was the source of the documents WikiLeaks posted. Julian Assange, I don’t care what you think of him. I’m just telling you what he said. From the beginning he has denied that Russia was their source. He’s got two tweets out there today. Here is the first one: “This is fake news, CBS, you pathetic excuse for a media organization. I challenge your controlling oligarchs, the Redstone family, to a $100,000 bet that providing access through WikiLeaks to our unpublished information is false.”

So he’s challenged them $100,000. Show me your proof. You prove that we offered this access; I’ll give you a hundred grand. The next tweet from Assange that came about 21 minutes later, “Another CNN-plus-CBS story about WikiLeaks today turns out to be a 100% fake news. Another Brian Ross moment. Who’s gonna get fired?” And then the piece de resistance, the Washington Post. Ready for this? “Email Pointed Trump Campaign to WikiLeaks Documents That Were Already Public.” (interruption) Yes, this is the my point! The documents were already there.

You know what this really is? This is another trap. The WikiLeaks documents were already public. They were already posted. Now we’ve got a story out of nowhere, out of the ether that WikiLeaks or somebody offered the Trump campaign fodder against Hillary, when it’s already published and already public? It would have been worthless! The Trump campaign wouldn’t have needed it. They wouldn’t have sought it. It was already all over WikiLeaks.

So I think we have a manufactured story here …
