(TNS) Time and again, despite all of the gnashing of teeth and soul-searching among network hosts about why nobody loves them, CNN’s hacks prove why they’re not trusted and, ultimately, not watched.
On Wednesday, CNN political analyst and former communications director for the Bill Clinton White House Joe Lockhart tweeted “overheard convo” between GOP senators who he claimed were panicking because of what liar/leaker Adam Schiff said during his impeachment speech.
“Overheard convo between two Republican Senators who only watch Fox News. “is this stuff real? I haven’t heard any of this before. I thought it was all about a server. If half the stuff Schiff is saying is true, we’re up sh*t’s creek. Hope the White House has exculpatory evidence” Lockhart tweeted.

Now, mind you, to the less-than-Trump impaired, such a claim would have immediately drawn the brown BS flag. But in official Washington, where most inhabitants are clueless about how the vast majority of Americans view the shenanigans that are taking place in D.C. regarding impeachment, such a statement by “Insider Joe” is taken as gospel.
Except that it shouldn’t be. When he was called on what he said, he folded like a cheap suit and admitted that he was lying like a typical CNN hack.
Ok maybe I made up the convo, but you know that's exactly what they're thinking.

Lockhart’s initial tweet got thousands of retweets and tens of of thousands of “likes,” including one by “conservative” Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin (can we stop referring to her as a conservative, please, because she isn’t).
After being lambasted seven ways to Sunday, Lockhart lied again and tried to blame people who were outraged by his first lie.
Everyone relax. This is satire. Satire to make the point that Senators that are deciding the President's fate who only watch Fox News have never heard this stuff before. Because Fox is part of the coverup. https://t.co/ktCxCg1Irt

Yes, okay. Well, the joke’s on Lockhart because at least Fox News has an audience.
here is no chance President Trump is going to be removed from office over this sham impeachment.
re there some GOP senators who don’t like him? Probably.
But there are no doubt more than a few Democrats in vulnerable districts facing reelection in a few months who are none too happy about Nancy Pelosi’s decision to pursue a bogus impeachment in the first place.
Just ask Rep. Jeff Van Drew.
