Sununu on Russia: "I don't think there is anything there. So you're implying - youre implying..."

CNN’s Alisyn Camerota fights back laughter as GOP guest melts down over Trump-Russia scandal



http://www.rawstory.com/2017/05/cnns-alisyn-camerota-fights-back-laughter-as-gop-guest-melts-down-over-trump-russia-scandal/

CNN invited former Republican New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu to defend President Donald Trump’s handling of the deepening Russia scandal, but he spent most of the time denying that Trump or his team had done anything wrong — much to the amusement of CNN’s Alisyn Camerota.

During the interview, Camerota asked Sununu what he thought about Jared Kushner during the transition arranging both a back channel to communicate with Russian government officials using their own equipment and to meet with the head of a Russian state bank.

“I don’t think there is anything there,” Sununu said. “So you’re implying — you’re implying — because during the ten weeks [of the presidential transition] everybody is trying to meet the administration. Everybody who is involved in business. Everybody who is involved in politics. I can’t tell you how many people tried to meet with me between the time I was named chief of staff.”

At the end of the interview, Camerota struggled to keep herself from laughing as she told Sununu that “we appreciate your perspective that there is nothing to see here, and that the investigation is, I don’t know, silly.”

It's a good thing there wasn't a drinking game going on where every time Sununu said it I'd have to drink. I'd be dead.

He kept getting louder and louder through the interview. His agitation tells us what he is really thinking more than his words.

Why is the media digging up all these old fossils that don't matter anymore? It's already bad enough that they keep Gingrich around...
