Cohen: Media Wounding Trump ‘Mortally’ on Nat’l Security Before He Even Takes Office

EXCERPT:

COHEN: "As for that document published on BuzzFeed or whatever, I’ve seen stuff like that before in Moscow. It is junk. You send me to Moscow and I can get you a better dossier than that. It wouldn’t even have the factual errors in it. It is scuttlebutt, it's rumor. It's generated by so-called private intelligence agents, who are out to make a buck. They will sell it to anybody. But the question is what is it doing in our political discourse. What are the motives? Why did CNN put it on the air? Why is the FBI and the CIA even touching this stuff? Something is going on. I’ve been studying Russia as a professor, and sometimes even from the inside, for more than 40 years. I’ve never seen anything like this. People in the mainstream media, authoritative media, places like 'The New York Times' are calling Trump the puppet of the Kremlin. They're wounding him mortally as a national security president before he even gets in the White House."
