Now that the Weekly Standard is thankfully dead, CNN is eager to hire the group of NeverTrump they once employed. Two of the former Weekly Standard chodes, Michael Warren and Holmes Lybrand were just given big, fat contracts to bash Trump on their little watched network. It looks like Jeff the Flake is going to CBS instead of CNN, so I guess they consider these two losers the consolation prize.

Michael Warren held the position of senior writer at the Standard while Holmes Lybrand was a fact-checker.
The Weekly Standard was shut down in December by parent company Clarity Media Group. The magazine, once an influential voice for conservative readers, went fully anti-Trump during the 2016 election and in its aftermath.
President Trump hit the Standard following the shutdown, saying in a tweet, “The pathetic and dishonest Weekly Standard, run by failed prognosticator Bill Kristol (who, like many others, never had a clue), is flat broke and out of business. Too bad. May it rest in peace!”
