Turley: If Media Covered Crossfire Hurricane, They Are Confessing Their Own Role In Greatest Political Hit Job In History
FOX News contributor and George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said if the media covered the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane operation, they would be admitting their complicity.
SEAN HANNITY: Let’s look at the legal side, uh, and here’s Jonathan Turley reacting to today’s breaking news. He wrote, “Democrats pulled the greatest political con job ever on Americans. It is now finally unraveling.” He joins us now with more. Do you see criminal activity? If so, who should be worried tonight? JONATHAN TURLEY, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: Well, there’s a lot of people worried in this city tonight. This is the great reveal that, uh, John Ratcliffe was promising, and there’s more to come. The important thing about this, Sean, is that it confirms things that we knew, and it gives us things that we did not know. We always knew, not always, but we knew earlier, in July 2016, Brennan briefed Obama to say that Hillary Clinton, uh, was planning to create a Russian collusion, uh, scandal for Trump to distract from her email scandal. He briefed the president on that, and then months later, he played a critical role in overruling CIA analysts and including the Steele dossier. We also know that the Clinton campaign lied to the media, denied they had funded the Steele dossier, and indeed hid that funding as legal expenses by Mark Elias, the general counsel at that time of the Clinton campaign. And all of this required this all-on-deck effort, the government, the campaign, the media. That’s why when you see the reaction of the media today, it’s clear that no matter what is produced, you can show a dozen heads in a duffel bag, and they’re still not impressed. And the reason is that for most of the media, this is not coverage. It would be a confession. That is, if they actually cover this story, they are confessing their own role in what may be the greatest political hit job in history.
