CNN, which drank deeply from the \u201cGet Trump!\u201d fountain, breathlessly announced that they now had PROOF that Donald Trump Jr. had been colluding with the Russians. In this case, they screeched like the harpies they are that Trump Jr. had been in communications with Wikileaks and had been given access to the Felonia Files before everyone else. The problem? It seems that no one at CNN can read a calendar. Here are the details of their latest screw-up from The Daily Caller<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n CNN misreported key details of an offer made to Donald Trump Jr. last year of a batch of stolen Wikileaks documents. The story, which CNN published on Friday and covered extensively on TV, was touted as the first evidence that the Trump campaign was given a heads-up about documents stolen from Democrats. <\/b><\/p>\n But the story appears to have been riddled with errors, while also lacking key context.<\/b><\/p>\n So, CNN was operating in their usual manner then?<\/p>\n Perhaps the most jarring error in the CNN report<\/a> is the date on which Trump Jr. was sent the email. The network reported that a person named Mike Erickson emailed Trump Jr. and others on the Trump campaign on Sept. 4, 2016, with a link to Wikileaks documents as well as a decryption key to access them. <\/b><\/p>\n The email also offered access to emails that had been stolen from former Sec. of State Colin Powell, according to CNN. <\/b><\/p>\n And why would the Trump campaign care about former Secretary of State Powell\u2019s email? These days, for all intents and purposes, General Powell is a nonentity politically speaking. But \u201cThis…Is CNN\u201d so it matters to them for the purposes of \u201cGet Trump!\u201d So what was the problem with the story?<\/p>\n But a copy of the email provided to The Daily Caller shows that Erickson sent the email on Sept. 14. That date is significant because WikiLeaks had released a batch of stolen documents on Sept. 13. The group touted its release of the DNC documents, which were published by Guccifer 2.0. <\/b><\/p>\n The email shows that Erickson messaged Trump Jr. stating that \u201cWikileaks has uploaded another (huge 678 mb) archive of files from the DNC.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIt is too big for me to send you by e-mail attachments, but you can download it yourselves,\u201d he added, providing a link to the same website cited by Wikileaks the day before. He also included a link to a decryption key that could be used to access the documents. <\/b><\/p>\n So, the \u201cGreatest Cable News provider in the History of..Ever\u201d couldn\u2019t be bothered to actually research when Wikileaks released the documents and when the information was actually sent to the Trump campaign?<\/p>\n How CNN got its report so wrong is unclear.<\/b><\/p>\n Oh I think we know.<\/p>\n The article states that its information was based on a read-out of the Trump Jr. email provided by multiple sources, none of who are identified. <\/b><\/p>\n Ahh yes, once again, the infamous \u201cAnonymous Sources\u201d provided information to the Corrupt News Network…anonymously.<\/p>\n Trump Jr.\u2019s lawyer, Alan Futerfas, speculated on Friday that the source was on the Democratic side of the House Intelligence Committee, which interviewed Trump Jr. earlier this week.<\/b><\/p>\n So, who is this Erickson guy anyway?<\/p>\n Erickson also appears not to be a super-secret Kremlin agent. The Post identified him as the president of an aviation management company. <\/b><\/p>\n So, he\u2019s just a hard working Trump supporter who thought he could help out with a little opposition research? He must have been very close to the Trump campaign.<\/p>\n Futerfas, the lawyer for Trump Jr., said that the real estate executive received \u201ctons of unsolicited emails\u201d during the campaign. <\/b><\/p>\n \u201cThe email was never read or responded to \u2014 and the House Intelligence Committee knows this,\u201d he said in a statement. <\/b><\/p>\n And I think we can safely say that the Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee have never been ones to let things like \u201cThe facts\u201d interfere with their plans to \u201cGet Trump at ALL COSTS!!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
