CNN says Trump 'exonerated', MSNBC says Trump 'vindicated'

[Revmitchell]

After Attorney General Wiliam Barr released his letter to congress describing the findings in the Special Counsel's report from Robert Mueller, the news that it cleared Trump of collusion rocketed across not just social media but the mainstream media, as well.


It would not have been unexpected to see some waffling or hedging on the part of CNN or MSNBC (or gloating on the part of Fox News), but in the case of the former, both networks used the strong terms for absolute absolution.

On CNN, it was Pamela Brown who interrupted the bandying back and forth of details to offer the flat summary that the President had been "exonerated."

"Can we just take a step back and focus on the fact that this is a nearly two year investigation that has swirled around the president since day one of his presidency," said Brown. "And he has just been exonerated."

On MSNBC, it was just after the news broke, and justice reporter Julia Ainsley was reading the details, and explaining them, to the audience and to host Katy Tur.

"[Mueller is] spelling out exactly what he is clearing them from, and he says tacitly or expressly they did not," said Ainsley. "Robert Mueller weighed in and said, 'that was not tacit. There was no coordination or conspiracy.'"

"So, this vindicates the President on collusion," said Tur.

"It does. So, it would vindicate him on collusion," Ainsley replied.

Oh yeah, but look at this beyond pathetic joint statement by Pelosi and Schumer:

“Attorney General Barr’s letter raises as many questions as it answers. The fact that Special Counsel Mueller’s report does not exonerate the president on a charge as serious as obstruction of justice demonstrates how urgent it is that the full report and underlying documentation be made public without any further delay. Given Mr. Barr’s public record of bias against the Special Counsel’s inquiry, he is not a neutral observer and is not in a position to make objective determinations about the report.

“And most obviously, for the president to say he is completely exonerated directly contradicts the words of Mr. Mueller and is not to be taken with any degree of credibility.

“Congress requires the full report and the underlying documents so that the Committees can proceed with their independent work, including oversight and legislating to address any issues the Mueller report may raise. The American people have a right to know.”

Talk about any port in a storm, prosecutors don't exonerate people. Keep it up, Trump wasn't exonerated for obstruction of justice, but neither was Rev, or anyone else here.

The anti Trump forces are evil. They are Satan's tool to keep up the butchering of the unborn. (And now the new born)
