Erin Burnett slams Trump officials’ ‘alternative universe’

A handful of top US national security officials said that Russia is continuing to pursue its efforts to interfere in the US political system and President Donald Trump has directed them to make countering election interference a top priority.

Why the hell are they talking to the womp womp guy? Makes fun of disabled children being ripped from their families, assaults reporters at rallies, Lewandowski is a classy guy

[@Code_Dee]

Ok here's the context, kzbin.info/www/bejne/gV7chIpre6yrptk

[@treasurevelasquez9963]

Naomi Frederick. Agreed! The same goes for "important" interviews with vile traitors like Roger Stone and his idiot pal Nunberger, plus that monster Guiliani and his ivy leage mobster protege Scaramucci. Putting these treasonous pukes on is what makes me avoid CNN more often these days, as if those freaks of demonic cult worship Jeffrey Lord and Jason Mler weren't evil liars enough! Oh, and we must not leave that creep Santorum(who loves him some Russian NRA Red-headlike his good traitor fundraising colleague Nunes) #Barfola!!!!(((((

[@jameschampaco1273]

Nothing but a PR moment. No specifics were issued or detailed. This is nothing but a smoke-screen. WE SEE RIGHT THROUGH THIS BS*

[@1247.cccccc]

Just like you did every other year and every other administration? Lifelong critic of election interference? You have happy memories of specifics from BObama? I SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOUR BS James champaco

[@rootykazooty351]

@James. Agreed. Zero substance. No details. Just noise.

[@alchemicpunk1509]

@1247.cc So your point is that Obama is somehow at fault? Why? Obama is not anywhere near this topic... Oh wait. He is. He specifically told Trump to increase electoral security because he and his administration wanted Trump to do his job. Instead it took 18 effin months before anyone even mentioned Trump being in favor of it and for most of his term he personally denied any substance to the intelligence agenies' conclusions.

[@1247.cccccc]

Nacho Bootlicker The buck stops with the President. You are confused about the role of the President-Elect. If the previous administration deserved your National Security accolades there would little for the current administration to do other than follow their lead. Unfortunately, this seems to mean spying on the opposition using the vast apparatus of the state. Go ahead and wheeze your disapproval but remember this: Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia. I AM SPEAKING YOUR RETARDED DIALECT.

[@robertbuchwald6514]

Corey Lewandowski another Bullshit enabler,lying Republican traitor.Blah blah blah. Sick of double talk....Already. Vote to get rid of Republicans in November.

[@dang2390]

Are the fools that work for Trump really that hard up for a job

[@tyrellanderson4722]

Apparently so.

[@ivanatrumplovesquincyjones2518]

Thank you CNN! Keep up the great work

[@NazriB]

Lies again? Audacity Module

[@user-lk7fs2ys1c]

Good work Erin and CNN.

[@Spectre11B]

A lot of Russians commenting here. The only division you will create is between US and Putin. Russia, we're on to you.

[@louisfortin7824]

The Republican no shame ,no moral,no future party drone Corey the Trump blimp,SAD

[@salmonline]

We now know what happened to the ferret from the Bud, Wise, Err commercials...lol...

[@FesterWerks]

How can she not say "Oh, bullshit" after every one of his answers?

[@tele68]

"I have nothing to hide! (as long as we only talk about the things I agreed to.)"

[@benevolentautore4463]

You can tell she's had 4 or 5 glasses of wine before this 'news cast'.

[@josephgrant1151]

I immigrated to the USA almost 50yrs to the day. But this is not the same USA. I’m ashamed of this administration. Where are the American people? How can we bring us back to the intent of the people ?

[@benevolentautore4463]

You're sitting at your computer and you have the gall to say you're just seeing the decline of America in the last year? It was all peachy until he took office, right? I'll call your bluff.

[@kenbrownfield6584]

Every member on that stage is a liar. Every one of them.

[@trumpstruthcentral9577]

Geez! It’s the same song and dance from every Trump supporter! It’s like they’re on some sort of reward system, if you defend Trump on any interview you get $$$.

[@ivechang6720]

Uh...NO!!! There has been continuous interference, and during his presidency when they knew it. The president himself didn't support the Intelligence community, individually, as a group, their efforts, nor their active responses to defend our country. Instead he's continuously attacked and undermined them with an overwhelming purpose to protect himself. Frankly this courtiér is smelling swampy. Thanks for your journalistic efforts and getting their less practiced responses for us to judge for ourselves. Be well and happy. ♡

[@bryanwilson8396]

So where is DRUMPF ? Everyone but the president. Something is very wrong here! Does anyone have the answer?

[@Ailith]

all those people are enemies of the people...

[@adriancage87]

They got caught, that's why their story is constantly changing. Like children panicking when they've been caught.

[@elvistess6289]

Cory can't hang wit Erin. Every lie he told she called him on it. SAD

[@differentialequation1514]

Remember when mike Pompeo referred to the current administration as the trump regime in congressional testimony?

[@mickreaddin4979]

The very act of negotiating terms of the meeting, is in itself an admittance of guilt! Innocent people don't avoid questions, they welcome them.

[@yaaboatema]

He is talking about people here carrying IDs to vote. He isn’t talking about Russia

[@JorgeRamos-ix1jm]

If Corey doesn't know when conversations took place than why is he on this show? More alternative truths also known as lies.

[@maclove8135]

Boah these people know how to lie

[@rlsnorton864]

Odd time for Sara to take on the press with her anger over insults while her boss gets up in the AM to HURL insults at journalists, the democrats, our closer allies etc.

[@rortiz77]

[@samgamgee7384]

Why isn't Mueller investigating all the 400-pound people who sit on their beds!?

[@YoungnFreeAtHeart]

He thinks that this will help him with Mueller.

[@kylec8240]

"Give Trump credit for things you haven't seen him do, because he might have done them." Just going to summarize that guy's argument, nice and tidy.

[@thetawaves48]

We can't have free elections without free press.

[@sdscipio]

I guess what Internet trolls don't know is commenting on a post, gives it life, extends it's time, and keeps it popping up. If you don't like something don't comment or like, you are giving it priority, but that is the level of education if trolls.

[@64Street]

How funny is that....all those heads bobbing like bobbleheads.

[@ellouisepritchett4941]

No mystery here. What is going to come out in the Manafort trial? Trump has to rewrite history, say he was on the right side of the issue all along ... be damned with the timing!

[@sherrieorlandi4897]

I want a president who thinks before he speaks so he doesn't mis speak.

[@maaiker2977]

Good to hear he thinks the traitors should go to jail...its where he will go when this is over.

[@jhitchcock5503]

And then in the speech occurring during this interview, the Presidents called the investigation a hoax

[@tigerstudios]

I noticed something that these people do a lot when defending Trump.... They always start answering a question... then quickly say " ... more importantly .. " and then start listing off the talking points... :)

[@defenestratefalsehoods]

The idea of his attorney dont want him to sit down is BS. you control you attorneys and can say set up a meeting

[@ramonserrano6700]

They never gave specifics on how they were going to combat the cyber attacks.

[@sdscipio]

These security men and women have no guts, can't even stand up for their own intelligence.

[@Samhizawa]

What happened to honesty and decency in this country? lying with no shame and a straight face on TV!

[@robwwhit3453]

CNN what about the poor children at the border, haven't heard any updates on that hit piece...SMH.

[@nestor7818]

I mean, wow. Straight... Great reporting. Keep up the outstanding good you all do...!

[@rebeccalowell8890]

COATS AND WRAY seem extremely competent.....

[@VacationImpossible]

Corey made it through an interview without making fun of sick children - good for him

[@onefatstratcat]

lol.. trolls.. you guys need some new material

[@whydontyoukillemall]

[@NathanKirby2001]

Not every trump supporter is troll Seriously

[@robertduckworth5066]

By you admitting you like CNN One might determine you're a betacuck

[@smolderingtitan]

I hope they keep saying 'lock her up'. They are self identifying as idiots each time they parrot that one.

[@NathanKirby2001]

[@haec_est_vita_mea]

The dumbs and the dumbers follow the dumbest as the smart and the smarter follow tue smartest.

[@jlsc4125]

He's trying to build up cause for firing Meuller, saying we don't need him, he has his own investigation going on.

[@1247.cccccc]

How does Erin Burnett maintain the triumvirate of being shrill, skeptical and clueless? Natural talent or carefully honed skill?

[@terianndavis7172]

He can not see them having a reason and still take precaution. I don't have any reason to think anyone will break into my house tonight but I'm still gonna lock my door. Pay attention to the way they spin things to get you emotional. Stop being so emotional and use your brains!

no path to 270 just 306! classic!

9:52 that has to be the most communist answer ive heard to a question regarding his collusion. Might as well drop the facade already give this guy a russian accent and put him in the next Bond movie w Putin. Some great acting here.

[@victorvegan9266]

Nothing to hide? Let's see those tax returns and financial statements.

[@joeharrington993]

So this stable genius is not capable of sitting with Mulleur without incriminating himself? Nice?

[@janettehughes1522]

Who would we request to monitor our upcoming elections ? It seems to be a prudent request to have an international election monitoring group observe these elections and the next presidential election. How could we , as concerned citizens , ask for this over site ???

[@user-ei5jf9ti8m]

This is insane 😮!

[@sigmundfreud9313]

Conspiracy, treason, obstruction, perjury, bribery, fraud ect.

[@trufan7358]

It drives me nuts when they dont call out Trump surrogates on each and every lie. Im sick of the constant lying without being held accountable

[@cynthiahensley1483]

The reporter asked Putin if he helped and if he wanted Trump to win! Putin said yes to both questions!!! Why isn’t anybody saying anything about Putin admitting to helping Trump win??? He said ‘that yes he did’ twice! Answering both questions! How is everyone not jumping all over that? Ugh, this is so depressing.

[@robertmuckle2985]

Hey Cory...Yer boy is heading for the big house! What you gonna do when any shred of integrity you may have once had is gone also? Sucks to be a lap dog brah...but it's your bed...so good luck with all that!

[@Al69BfR]

Don‘t give those spin doctors time to speak!

[@vickybartistry3292]

Oh please he doesn’t want to be interviewed, and you would have to be brain dead to believe he misspoke on that would wouldn’t crap

[@kevinmulcahy7991]

The best thing about a trump impeachment will be never having to listen to Corey Lewandowski again.

[@Nzp6959]

Remember Trump’s Cabinet and Congress members their over-the-top praise for The Moron...Same thing here

[@pinedelgado4743]

BTW, at 1:07 Erin says ALTERNATE universe and NOT "alternative" universe. I believe there's a big difference! :-)

[@fugeekue8741]

Are we supposed to believe this charade??

[@Boobalopbop]

Lewendoski’s Logic: In 2016 my car was stolen. Police have found the car with Dave in the driver’s seat and they saw video footage of Dave stealing it from a neighbor’s surveillance camera. But they can’t convict Dave because while I believe it COULD have been Dave, there is also a chance that Steve or Ben might have tried to steal my car. I’ve seen and read the police’s evidence that it was Dave but really it could have been someone else so why put all the blame on Dave? There are lots of people in the world.

[@neukenuk]

Mueller need to charge Cory.... And another card comes out

[@kidawesome8665]

Why is Lewandowski out of cable news purgatory?

[@tomjones4184]

Corey Lewandowski should be in jail - why does he not talk about his involvement in Cambridge Analytica?

[@tilwanna8081]

Because he knows Mueller is own his ass

[@elizabethhopper4313]

I am not a college educated woman and it still amazes me these people who continue to support Trump. They are basically saying it is ok to all these illegal actions and let them get away with it.

[@ccjohncc1]

As if we are that dumb. Now he has his entire administration trying at gaslighting

[@tuneaddicted]

Nice to see Corey doing comedy now

[@AlexisMitchell87]

He’ll be throwing them under the bus soon.

[@carlwilliams6977]

Oh Corey....To call this obfuscation wouldn't be fair to obfuscation! You embarrass yourself!

[@mrdfac]

Putin said he directed it. His answer is on film.

[@73TDot]

mrdfac it was a two part question from the journalist and Poo-Tin said...Yes I did...yes I did!!!!! Right in that Orange Creamsicle's face!!! How much more evidence do they need to get rid of him?

[@mrdfac]

I know.

Trump, the barking dog, 18 months too late.

[@hoogmoog1470]

You're right you are in alternative planet

[@warriordragonify]

Trump's tone and inflection in Helsinki show exactly what he meant.

[@klynnmartin1544]

Continue your good work CNN. It is needed now more than ever.

[@Shadowlds1]

It was getting pretty hard to hear towards the end with all the noise from the guest moving the goal posts frantically. "Trump has done so much to fight the meddling"....*plays clip of same officials saying Trump gave no directive to combat meddling*...."Trump doesn't need to direct people to fight the meddling..it just get's done". Head Scratcher

[@joeharrington993]

Did trump say they must go out or did he say they should go out?

[@jackhughes1654]

If it's true, how can you get caught out lying? Ps Corey is a huge one!

[@westsidedavid8585]

There is a wonderful and terrible beauty to the performance Corey Lewandowski gives, trying to rationalize all of the dreadful inconsistencies, deception, and lying that has made Trump such a frightening figure.

[@curtismynameheard4628]

It could be the tape that Putin has about Trump I've been hearing about the tape

[@wiseass5045]

It's pretty easy to figure out.

[@mikeconley9590]

Stop bringing traitors on. Both sides ,are only important when both debate in factual reality. We have no use with Republicans mouthpieces who bring an alternate reality to serious conversation.

Is there anything called approved-under-pressure mutiny?

[@dray6026]

I don’t think he should have a choice, we the American people don’t get to decide if we want to go to court if we where to be asked or subpoena to court. We wouldn’t have a choice nor should the biggest liar in America be able to decide if wants to go to court , it shows that nothing In our courts is fair. He needs to be locked up for life.
