Via Media Matters, co-hosts Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt, and Brian Kilmeade did their best to spin Sessionss meetings with Kislyak as well as reports that foreign intelligence agencies had discovered frequent contacts between Russian officials and members of Trumps presidential campaign as completely routine and not something thats actually worth talking about.
The New York Times has a story today that said the Obama administration had scrambled to keep this so-called intelligence together and keep it from the Trump administration in order to, I guess, a lot of people feel, make sure that they can move forward with an investigation, maybe without the Trump administration knowing, said Kilmeade. Even the State Department led by John Kerry also took part in intelligence sharing. They claim the Dutch and British also have information about meetings between Trump officials and they claim to Trump officials and Russian officials.
Doocy chimed in to note that the the timing is suspicious of the stories, as they dropped shortly after President Donald Trumps well received speech before Congress on Tuesday. Earhardt agreed that the timings interesting, before Kilmeade then suggested that rival cable news networks were intentionally over-reporting on this story to not talk about the triumphant Trump speech.
Other networks are doing special programming around this because theyd rather talk about anything but what went on with that speech yesterday, he said.

But the timing was great, wasn't it?

And it ain't 'so-called intelligence' - it's called Lying Under Oath To Congress on Camera.

I'm hoping anyway.
