CNN is up to their old tricks and self-proclaimed liberal, Jonathan Turley, is not very amused.

The network has been completely ignoring key facts in their coverage on General Flynn’s recent exoneration and instead has been focusing on Obama’s completely hypocritical statement on the matter.
(resent) CNN continues to report on Obama's statement without noting that he was wrong on Flynn's criminal charge and wrong on the lack of precedent. Given its slogan "Facts First," it appears the facts are not even coming last. They are not coming at all. https://t.co/UQ58aLDB6T [2]

In his tweet, Turley linked to an article on his website, titled, “President Obama Declares ‘There Is No Precedent That Anybody Can Find’ For The Flynn Motion [He May Want To Call Eric Holder],” concerning Obama “being quoted from a private call that the ‘rule of law is at risk’ after the Justice Department moved to dismiss the case against former national security adviser Michael Flynn.”
“Obama reportedly told members of the Obama Alumni Association that ‘There is no precedent that anybody can find for someone who has been charged with perjury just getting off scot-free,’” Turley wrote in his post. “[Notably, CNN covered the statements this morning without noting the clearly false claim over the lack of any precedent for the Flynn motion].”
Turley also laid out three reasons why the statement is “curious,” including, “Flynn was never charged with perjury,” “there is ample precedent for this motion even though, as I noted in the column calling for this action, such dismissals are rare,” and “there is also case law … dealing with the dangers of multiple prosecutions.” [Washington Examiner [4]]
This is par for the course with CNN though…
They’re notorious for hiding the fact and only promoting something that supports their narrative.
Their viewers are completely in the dark.
