Moments after President Trump's Wednesday press conference before a hostile press itching for his impeachment, CNN's The Situation Room host Wolf Blitzer and chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta preyed on the fact that most people had not read the transcript of the phone call between Trump and the president of Ukraine and blatantly lied about the "Favor" Trump asked for.
"And let's not forget, in the - this summary that was released by the White House, the President specifically quoted as saying to the Ukrainian president, 'I would like you to do us a favor' and then goes into an investigation into the Bidens and the Democrats," he lied.
Instead of telling the truth, Acosta backed up his colleague's falsehood: "That is right, Wolf. And the President never really asked - or answered the question. I tried to ask the question as he was walking out of the room, what did he mean by 'could you do us a favor.' He never really explained what he was talking about with respect to that question."
Blitzer and Acosta undoubtablely knew exactly what Crowdstrike was and it was absolutely clear in the transcript that that was what the two Presidents were talking about.
That was a somber sulking President and if you need any proof that the last 24 hours in Washington, D.C. have the President attention and affecting the President's mood, watch that press conference.
