    You mean the fake news the NY TIMES put out that Comey laughed on national television about during his testimony? :roflol:

    No your OP basically asks us to trust a fake news CNN reporter. You are the one making a case here and its completely inconsistent. Trust CNN blindly when it says something good about Trump, call it fake news when it says something bad about Trump and ignore any evidence they present.

    It wasn't "something good" about Trump, it was all about the yellow journalism of CNN. I swear, some of you people attempt to twist logic in the strangest ways.

    Exactly saying that Comey laughed meaning everything in the Times is fake because making mistakes means its all fake. So why are you listening to CNN now?

    But you are basing this claim of yellow journalism by blindly having faith in the mere opinion of a fake news CNN reporter. You either trust CNN or you don't.

    Didn't watch the hearings or read the transcript, did you? The transcript doesn't do the video justice. He smirked when asked point blank if the NY Times had correct information. :roflol:

    I watch MSNBC and CNN on a regular basis. It's like watching village idiots rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

    The investigation is done? I do not believe that Mueller would have put together the team he has if that was the case so you can stop your wishful thinking. The investigation is a multi-level investigation and Trump must be wearing a diaper right about now. Of course he will steal as much as he can before he is given the boot so you can cheer him on and applaud him for that if you care to.

    You're missing the point. The fact that the stuff they broadcast to the public and the stuff they get caught saying in private are contradictory. They're liars regardless of which is true, and their ratings reflect the mass loss of trust.

    I agree with that statement.

    But it doesn't answer my question. Is Van Jones credible now, or is he still considered a loon by you guys? I've always thought the Green Jobs Czar was a loon and a raging racist. So I'm trying to understand the point here. Because he decided Trump didn't collude with Russia (something which I happen to agree with), does that mean the case is closed?

    Perhaps, I can help you understand what's going on here.

    First of all, you don't have to believe anything Van Jones says to believe that the Left's "bullshit" Russia narrative is nothing more than 1) a fig leaf to hide the reasons why Democrats have been getting their asses waxed at the polls since 2009 and 2) an excuse to stall and obstruct the Republican agenda in Congress.

    Secondly, you know things are going bad for the Left and its "bullshit" Russia narrative when a prominent partisan "progressive" hack like Van Jones describes it in the exact same terms ("nothing burger") that Republicans like Ted Cruz have been using for months.

    Finally, Jones' comment may be an indication that the wheels may be finally falling off the Left's Russia wagon after John Bonifield's inconvenient fit of candor. Many of us have been wondering when this thing would fall apart and perhaps now that time has come. Bonifield has certainly made it more difficult to keep pushing that narrative now that he has admitted what many of us have known all along - it's bullshit, a nothing burger, the arrogance of Leftists who don't want to admit that their bad ideas, bad policies and bad candidates are what have turned voters against them.

    So then Van Jones is a credible source now to some people because he uses the same term that Ted Cruz (is that Lyin' Ted?) used. Okay, that's all I wanted to know. I never found him to be credible so I'd be one of the last people to jump on his words as proof of anything.

    Thanks for explaining.

    Like I said, I don't believe there was any collusion between Donald Trump himself and Russia. But the investigation is still ongoing, and I don't think Michael Flynn is off the hook yet.

    That's not what I said, but that may be the case for some people. As I stated in my post, you don't have to believe anything Van Jones says to believe what most of us already knew and Jon Bonifield recently confessed. However, it's not difficult to see that things aren't looking good for the Left's "bullshit" Russia narrative when one of its grand poohbahs calls it a "nothing burger".

    I can't say I know enough about Flynn's case to comment one way or the other.

    question isn't if Van Jones is creditable or not. question is was he lying on the air or was he lying on that vid?
    because he sure in the hell implies this Russian Trump collusion thing is a hell of a lot more then a nothing burger on the air in the many panels he sat on
    or was he just towing the networks line for ratings even though he honestly believes differently about the Russian Trump collusion in private

    I can imagine the conversations they have in CNNs green room

    you know this Trump Russia thing is nothing but bull crap one big nothing burger but we sure in the hell convinced our ignorant gullible naïve viewers different and it is helping our ratings so lets keep spewing the fake news

    I also suspected that Trump didn't collude with Russia, but the investigation is still ongoing, and associates of his are under investigation. Just like the ongoing and at one point seemingly endless Benghazi investigation was being reported on. People on the left declared Hillary blameless long before that ended.

    Things aren't looking good for the left or the right now. The healthcare bill failure isn't making the right look any better. In fact, in the end, it may be more harmful than the investigation into Russia, which has to go on anyway because the investigation isn't about Trump's involvement with Russia - it's about Russian's involvement with our election.

    I just know that wild horses wouldn't make my hypocritical to use Van Jones' words as proof of anything, good bad or indifferent. The man is a menace. His words mean as much as that email I got yesterday telling me I could collect $14 million if I wire $2500 to Mrs. Enoba Hungazi's account.
