Fox & Friends: Timing of Sessions story "interesting" and "suspicious" after triumphant Trump speech

[Miles Archer]

Via Media Matters, co-hosts Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt, and Brian Kilmeade did their best to spin Sessions’s meetings with Kislyak — as well as reports that foreign intelligence agencies had discovered frequent contacts between Russian officials and members of Trump’s presidential campaign — as completely routine and not something that’s actually worth talking about.

“The New York Times has a story today that said the Obama administration had scrambled to keep this so-called intelligence together and keep it from the Trump administration in order to, I guess, a lot of people feel, make sure that they can move forward with an investigation, maybe without the Trump administration knowing,” said Kilmeade. “Even the State Department led by John Kerry also took part in intelligence sharing. They claim the Dutch and British also have information about meetings between Trump officials and — they claim to — Trump officials and Russian officials.”

Doocy chimed in to note that the “the timing is suspicious” of the stories, as they dropped shortly after President Donald Trump’s well received speech before Congress on Tuesday. Earhardt agreed that “the timing’s interesting,” before Kilmeade then suggested that rival cable news networks were intentionally over-reporting on this story to not talk about the triumphant Trump speech.

“Other networks are doing special programming around this because they’d rather talk about anything but what went on with that speech yesterday,” he said.

1. They're just pissed because we're using their favorite strategy against them...

Now, I suspect it's a bit of a coincidence, because you don't sit on stories like that for very long, or you'll get scooped.

But the timing was great, wasn't it?

3. Timing? What the heck are these pinheads talking about?

Trump's Russian Conspiracy has been a 'thing' for over a year.
And it ain't 'so-called intelligence' - it's called Lying Under Oath To Congress on Camera.

12. I've gotta admit, the timing is interesting...

I think it's just the first of a long string of shitstorms that'll erupt every time there's a moment of positive momentum coming out of the Trump team.

I'm hoping anyway.
