It’s really long past time for Trump to pull CNN’s press credentials. After another fake news story about Trump’s transition team and their “connections” to Russia, CNN was forced to delete the article, claiming it did not meet their editorial standards.

Thursday afternoon, CNN posted a story, by none other than Pulitzer-Prize-winning reporter Thomas Frank, claiming that “Congress was investigating a Russian investment fund with ties to Trump officials.”
The story was perfect fodder for ‘The Left’ as it provided yet more ‘confirmation’ that sources ‘confirmed’ Trump and his team were up to something nefarious with The Russians…
Highlights included…
Congress is investigating a little-known Russian investment fund…
The fund CEO met in January with a member of the Trump transition team…
“If you’re going to get your nose under the tent, that’s a good place to start,” said Ludema, a Georgetown University economics professor. “I’m sure their objective is to get rid of all the sanctions against the financial institutions. But RDIF is one [sanctioned organizations] where a number of prominent U.S. investors have been involved.”
A fund spokeswoman says there was no discussion about lifting sanctions…
Scaramucci’s comments alarmed Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Ben Cardin of Maryland, who asked Mnuchin investigate whether Scaramucci sought to “facilitate prohibited transactions” or promised to waive or lift sanctions against Russia.
CNN later deleted this bogus story claiming it didn’t meet “editoral standards.” Huh? This article IS CNN and whatever standards they claim to have. Fake News, smearing Trump and blatant lies.
