CNN's Don Lemon Loses It: Won't 'Aid And Abet' Trump's Surveillance Claim
By Tom Blumer | April 4, 2017 | 12:55 PM EDT
 
The wagon-circling campaign to protect Obama administration and intelligence community officials who surveilled Donald Trump and his transition team during his presidential campaign and post-victory transition is moving into hyperdrive. On Monday, CNN's Don Lemon proclaimed that "there is no evidence whatsoever" supporting Donald Trump's claim about having been "spied on illegally" (note the inclusion of the word "illegally," which is crucial), and declared that he would not "aid and abet the people who are trying to misinform you."
 
Lemon's stridency as he delivered his rant on CNN Tonight appeared to betray "he protests too much" behavior, while subsequent events have further undermined his there's-nothing-there position.

I'd be willing to bet he would have absolutely no problem reporting about the surveillance if the target were  CONDI Rice.

We already know the long list of lies old Don will aid and abet, so it's good to see there's one or two he won't.
