Official CNN: Russia "tried" to infiltrate Trump campaign..

"Page probably didn't know they were Russian spies..."

Is this how MSM is going to deal with overwhelming evidence? Or is this just how they're going to start introducing the coming storm to the completely clueless?

They have a former KGB on now talking about how naive we are as a country. (Jack Barsky) Apparently it looks to him like efforts probably backfired... And he "hopes there aren't any more leaks" about it.

Is it seems they are going for the it's all carter page. And he was just a side note in the campaign. Totally forgetting manafart, flynn who was actually acting as a unregistered foreign agent on the behalf of Turkey but was placed as the National security advisor.

6. Maybe they had already decided this when Flynn offered info to Comey

That may be why Comey turned him down. He may have told us they didn't need him, but may have told Flynn, "Don't worry, we got a plan. No need for you to fall on your sword."

That's what I've been afraid. With the CNN story, they're cooking something up.
