DT: Congrats to ABC for suspending Ross for dishonest report on the Russia Russia Russia Witch Hunt

Wow.




Congratulations to @ABC News for suspending Brian Ross for his horrendously inaccurate and dishonest report on the Russia, Russia, Russia Witch Hunt. More Networks and “papers” should do the same with their Fake News!

wet kiss to Donnie. ABC has been trending to the Liberal side of reporting as of late. Just a bit of sending a message to their News Readers.

"ABC said the confidant later clarified that Mr. Trump’s request to Mr. Flynn during the campaign had been to find ways to repair relations with Russia. The directive to contact Russian officials on topics that included working together against the Islamic State came after the election, the network said."

So, Flynn's confidant DID tell Ross that Trump directed Flynn during campaign to find ways to repair relations with Russia. Although the confidant did not specifically say Trump told Flynn to contact Russians, he did tell Flynn to find ways to repair relations with Russia.
