James Comey said that a CNN reporter was pressuring him to provide a hook so they could run the dossier story.
Comey gave them that hook when he told Donald Trump about it. Very convenient and only 4 or 5 people knew about it and we know Comey is a leaker. But do you know the name of the recently hired reporter for CNN that was pressuring him and got what she wanted? Her name is Laura Jarrett and her mother’s name is Valerie.
Do you smell a skunk too? What are the odds? The Deep State is so incestuous.
The Daily Caller reported:
Former FBI Director James Comey wrote in a newly released memo that pressure from news outlets — “CNN in particular” — convinced him to brief then-President-Elect Donald Trump on the infamous Steele dossier during a meeting at Trump Tower on Jan. 6, 2017.
“I said media like CNN had [the dossier] and were looking for a news hook,” Comey wrote in a memo just after briefing Trump about the salacious allegations in the dossier.
“I said it was inflammatory stuff that they would get killed for reporting straight up from the source reports,” he added.
Four days after that meeting, CNN published a story revealing the existence of a salacious report alleging the Russian government had compromised Trump. The CNN story was referring to what’s now known as the dossier — an unverified 35-page report written by former British spy Christopher Steele.
Via American Lookout:
CNN has assigned the daughter of one of President Obama’s top advisers to cover the Department of Justice.
The network announced in a press release that Valerie Jarrett’s daughter Laura would be one of four reporters to cover the Justice Department in 2017. The New York Post broke the news that Jarrett had been hired in September, though a formal announcement about her beat did not come until Thursday.
Jarrett has long wanted to work in television news, though being an objective reporter was not her original goal. She told Vanity Fair in a 2009 “Bright Young Things” profile that her chief ambition was to “work as a TV-news legal analyst.” Her favorite cause was “promoting civil rights and social equality for women and minorities.”
I have no proof at all but I’d be willing to bet there was some hanky-panky there.
