Last week, the New York Times published a report alleging that “intelligence officials” warned congressional lawmakers that “Russia is meddling to reelect Trump.”
After spending countless segments over the weekend spreading the claims, CNN is now reporting that the country’s “top election security official appears to have overstated” the assessment of information that lawmakers pressured them to make.
That report comes just two days after a Jim Acosta-led CNN article stated that “Russia is looking to help Trump win in 2020.”
According to CNN:
The official, Shelby Pierson, told lawmakers on the House Intelligence Committee that Russia is interfering in the 2020 election with the goal of helping President Donald Trump get reelected.
The US intelligence community has assessed that Russia is interfering in the 2020 election and has separately assessed that Russia views Trump as a leader they can work with. But the US does not have evidence that Russia’s interference this cycle is aimed at reelecting Trump, the officials said[…]
Pierson’s characterization of Russian interference led to pointed questions from lawmakers, which officials said caused Pierson to overstep and assert that Russia has a preference for Trump to be reelected.
In other words, there’s absolutely no evidence that Russia is trying to help Trump win re-election. It was total fake news, and even CNN is admitting it.
The witch hunt is never going to end.
This also comes after it was more than clear that former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s entire Russia investigation was nothing more than a two-long scam that failed to give Democrats their chance to remove Trump from office.
It ended with Mueller admitting they found no evidence of Trump-Russia collusion and the president was not charged with a single crime.

Democrats are having a very difficult time with Trump in office, and they are losing control of their party.
And it’s clear that Democrats overplayed their hand with Mueller and thinking the ex-special counsel would help them impeach Trump.
Maybe Mueller will take on a case in the future that gives him the opportunity to go after Trump — again.
