from a CNN standpoint i'm not sure they care, they just got a massive ratings boost post election that lined their pockets. I'm sure before running it they considered a worst case hoax scenario and this passed the cost/benefit.
i could care less about HRC, i didn't want her to win either. Kushner is to me only somewhat troubling. how could we possibly ensure that Eric and Jr aren't colluding with daddy? are they going to cut contact? I see a pile of Trump contracts for the wall that reek of Halliburton in the future...
Its about optics and the lens you put it in. The obama administration, dnc, media, you name it, was very consciously promulgating the trump-russia narrative. This wasn't objective equal opportunity reporting, or else we'd be hearing about every foreign influence hillary was subject to.
They pushed the narrative, and they had reason to do so, because it gave their supporters a cause to rally around, delegitimize trump and not take responsibility for their cockup in this election.
Now anything regarding trump and russia is going to have to be seen through the lens of pissgate and #fakenews.
Likewise, we can't talk about Trump putting Kushner in a white house role without talking about Hillary having done it first. He's getting a free pass, whether or not is unethical nepotism
this is just the state of affairs for partisan politics. Pollsters off sticking his head in an oven or something
