Van "nothingburger" Jones respons till Veritas video;
Citat:
"MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING (burger)" @VanJones68 Um, who still falls for edited right-wing propaganda videos--in 2017??
Apparently, the Trump White House is. (SAD)
James O'Keefe and his band of crazies are at it again. This time I am one of the targets. Yesterday, O'Keefe released a so-called "bombshell" video of me, standing outside CNN's Los Angeles bureau. I was answering a passerby's question by saying: "The whole Russia thing is a big nothing-burger. There is nothing you can do --" before I was cut off by the arrival of my CNN coworkers. More on what I actually meant in a moment.

If you take any one line of my argument out of context, you can use it to pull off a hoax. That's what O'Keefe's minions did. The notion that I think Trump is innocent of all wrongdoing in Russiagate is ludicrous.
I stora drag menar Van Jones att hans kommentar om "nothingburger" handlar om att han inte tror att utredningen kommer att leda till något konkret, han försöker vidare på diverse sätt att misskreditera O'Keefe samt menar att Trump är i krig med sanningen. Så fortsätter han med spekulationer;
•
I do think Putin must have something over Trump, because Putin is the only person (besides Ivanka) whom Trump never disses. Given how Trump lashes out at everyone else, that fact alone is fishy.
•
I think there probably was collusion by some people in the Trump campaign with Russian operatives.
•
I think Trump fired Comey to stop the Russia investigation (which Trump has all but admitted, himself). That's obstruction of justice, in my book.

It will take a long, difficult slog to get Trump out of that White House. I expect no short cuts. But one goal will make our efforts worth the pain and sacrifice -- a new president who respects all people and honors the truth.

Man kan i alla fall inte anklaga Van Jones för en neutral hållning.
O'Keefe postade nyss en kommentar till detta;

#CNN writing about our @CNN video?
Isn't that kind of like writing your own obituary? #AmericanPravda
