CNN’s Stelter: Hannity Is Being Disingenuous When He Says the Indictment Doesn’t Prove Collusion

‘Mueller is still investigating other crimes and potential cover- ups, but the pro-Trump media is pretending not to know that’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
STELTER: "You know that old Watergate adage, it’s not the crime, it’s the cover-up? That does not apply to Russiagate. There were crimes and it looks there were cover-ups. On Friday, Robert Mueller addressed just one part of the crime. A grand jury indicted 13 Russians with interfering in the 2016 election. Now, Mueller is still investigating other crimes and potential cover- ups, but the pro-Trump media is pretending not to know that. Let me show you why these new talking points are so dishonest and pathetic. Here’s the first one. This is a talking point that journalists and pundits were saying on Friday and all throughout the weekend. They’re saying, hey, there’s been no wrongdoing by Americans. Trump world is off the hook ... Did you catch that? No claim in this indictment about this activity. He is leaving the door wide open for further indictments and further revelations. And he has to because he knows Mueller is still investigating. That’s why Sean Hannity is being so disingenuous when he says, hey, look, the indictment doesn’t prove collusion."
