CNN’s Jim Acosta: “I’m Ready For My Close-Up Mr. De Mille”

Last night CNN’s Jim Acosta appeared on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live.  Just a few days earlier, Kimmel the host of the show, revealed to Deadline he’d be pulling back on the anti-Trump rhetoric that’s become a signature of his late-night monologues.

"I don't know. I don't know how much focus there will be…I think people have had an ass-full of Donald Trump."

Kimmel introduced Acosta as “the persistent thorn in the flabby underbelly of the Trump Administration from CNN, please welcome Chief White House Correspondent, Jim Acosta.”

Kimmel told Acosta, “I love watching you bust their balls. I love it.  I can’t get enough of it.”

CNN has strayed into naked partisanship in pursuit of ratings and allowed Acosta to turn the White House Briefing Room into a personal editorial page because it makes for what the network believes is good television.

Acosta has become the epitome of the #Resistance while repeating the talking points of Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. 

Kimmel concluded the interview by asking the guy with the punchable face, “Will there ever be a scenario where you get to interview the President one-on-one?” Acosta replied, “I don’t think that’s ever gonna happen.  I don’t want to blow up the world.”  “Why,” asked Kimmel, “Do you think he’s scared to sit down with you one-on-one?”

Acosta babbled on about Sam Donaldson, the ABC News reporter notorious for hounding Richard Nixon during the Watergate scandal and Kimmel asked, “Do you dare the President to sit down and do an interview with you?” to which Crybaby Acosta boldly proclaimed, “I dare him to sit down for an interview with me.”

Kimmel ended the interview saying, “I’m enjoying you tormenting them. I will say that.  It’s a small consolation. It really is.”

Ari Fleischer, former White House Press Secretary for George W. Bush, said Acosta’s combative tactics remind him of Helen Thomas.  Thomas was pro-Hezbollah and once asked Fleischer, “Does the President think the Palestinians have a right to resist 35 years of brutal military occupation and suppression?”  Fleischer said, “I loved it.  I’d let her talk all day because you could practically hear the American public disagreeing with her from the Briefing Room.”

So, yeah Jim, keep talking about Stormy Daniels, Russia, DACA and the human side of MS-13 gangs.  America will enjoy watching the “blue wave” dissipate into a muddy puddle come November.

Braying Ass Defends Hillary’s Secret Email Server

Former Vermont Governor, Howard Dean, whose presidential campaign was torpedoed by a blood-curdling scream heard 'round the world appeared this morning on MSNBC’s Morning Joe to defend Hillary’s secret email server.  The cast immediately mocked him as a partisan hack.

According to The Washington Post, much of the classified information in the email conversations on her server originated with the CIA, according to two government officials familiar with the records. Some of the information was deemed to be classified by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s classification guidelines. The information included references to information related to satellite images and electronic communications, according to the officials.

Tuesday evening as news broke that the FBI demanded Cankles surrender her private home server, Chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, Trey Gowdy released the following statement:

“For months the Select Committee on Benghazi has called on Secretary Clinton to turn over her server to a neutral, detached third party for independent forensic examination. She refused every entreat.  Secretary Clinton said she created this unusual email arrangement with herself for ‘convenience.’ It may have been convenient for her, but it has been troubling at multiple levels for the rest of the country.”

“Congress, the media, the public, private litigants and FOIA requestors were denied access to public documents, and recently the Inspectors General for two separate Executive Branch entities expressed concern about the possible exposure of classified material as a direct result of her decision to eschew the email rules applicable to everyone else and create her own.” 

“The IC [IntelligenceCommunity] Inspector General revealed Secretary Clinton’s emails and server contained not just ‘top secret’ classified information, but ‘compartmented’ classified intelligence not releasable to foreigners, which must be noted in the timing of this announcement. This is a serious national security issue, and the seriousness of it should transcend normal, partisan politics.” 

“The revelation that Secretary Clinton exclusively used private email for official public business, and the multitude of issues that emanated from her decision, including this most recent one, demonstrates what can happen when Congress and those equally committed to exposing the truth, doggedly pursue facts and follow them.” 

A lefty website reports that a new Monmouth University survey finds that “52 percent of registered voters think that Clinton’s emails should be investigated in a criminal probe.”

This morning as the full impact of this bombshell is sending shockwaves through the Democratic Party and the Hillary camp, Trey Gowdy appeared on Fox News.  Below is the interview:
