Put a tape in the Betamax. James O'Keefe is going to release the secret transcripts at 7:00 p.m.

You'll never guess who retweeted this.

@JamesOKeefeIII
: We're going to release 'hundreds of hours of CNN' calls 7 pm ET Tonight.

Do any of you want to take a guess at what CNN President Jeff Zucker told his employees on those calls?

They're going to announce CNN doesn't like Trump.
Think Keilar, Baldwin, Cooper, Cuomo & Lemon know?
I don't think Zucker needed to tell his talent a thing.
They have their own opinions, and are unafraid to express them.
O'Keefe is desperate for relevance

This is where Billy Clinton messed up Linda Tripps recording was illegal. No beep every 15 seconds(?) to notify other parties that it is being recorded or broadcast.

It’s a big nothingburger. I guess these slimes are surprised to learn that news organizations discuss how they’re going to cover certain events before they happen. Not exactly a revelation.

They were talking about not giving too much oxygen to Trump’s legal challenges. That to me is a legitimate news decision. In the same way they’re not going to send 5 people to cover a cat show. It’s a question of how much time you give something that’s off the rails.
