COLLUSION! CNN Reporter Conspires With Clinton Campaign To Attack Rand Paul

Elise Labott was suspended from her CNN post for violating the network’s editorial guidelines and posting a biased tweet about the GOP’s attempt to curtail the refugee influx in the U.S.
But that’s nothing compared to what she’s accused of now.
Apparently, reporter Elsie Labott has been in collusion with the Hillary Clinton campaign to thwart Sen. Rand Paul’s campaign.
E-mails released to Gawker show Labott took guidance from Clinton campaign and posted tweets critical of Rand Paul for asking pointed questions during the hearing over the Benghazi attacks.
Labott also coordinated with Reines to post a favorable quote from Clinton’s testimony, which she gave just a week before she left office.
In the Reines emails, which are the subject of a Gawker lawsuit against the State Department, Labott appears to pick up on a previous conversation she was having with Reines during the Benghazi hearing, asking him: “are you sure rand paul wasn’t at any hearings?”
Five minutes after sending that email, Labott sent Reines another message sharing what she had tweeted about Paul.
Hours later, Labott and Reines were at it again.
“She was great. well done. I hope you are going to have a big drink tonight,” Labott wrote to Reines, complimenting Clinton’s performance.
Reines followed up that compliment by telling Labott that he had “suggested a good Tweet.”
Labott said that she had not received an email concerning another tweet. Reines wrote back “Pin,” an apparent reference to a private messaging system.
Labott wrote back “will get back to you.” Eleven minutes later she sent an email reading, “done.”
