    Reuters Trumps, Dumps CNN Claim of Secret Service Warning To Donald Trump



    by NEIL MUNRO
    10 Aug 2016

    The Reuters news service has poured cold water on CNN’s overheated claim that the Secret Service warned Donald Trump’s campaign that his gun-rights rhetoric seemed to threaten the safety of Hillary Clinton.

    Reuters reported that “a federal official on Wednesday said the U.S. Secret Service had not formally spoken with Republican Donald Trump’s presidential campaign regarding his suggestion a day earlier that gun rights activists could stop Democratic rival Hillary Clinton from curtailing their access to firearms.”

    Trump gleefully broadcast Reuters’ refutation of the CNN article.

    Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
    Reuters just announced that Secret Service never spoke to me or my campaign. Made up story by @CNN is a hoax. Totally dishonest.
    4:38 PM - 10 Aug 2016

    On Tuesday, Democrats, and many parts of the established media, claimed that Trump had casually threatened Hillary Clinton during an off-the-cuff campaign speech. This media-magnified claim — just like other claims, whether true or not — helps the Democrats’ push their narrative that Trump is too unstable to risk putting in the White House.

    Here are Trump’s comments that Democrats used to create the media furor;

    "Hillary wants to abolish — essentially abolish the Second Amendment. By the way, if she gets to pick, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know. But I tell you what, that will be a horrible day, if Hillary gets to put her judges in, right now we’re tied."

    CNN kept the controversy going Wednesday evening with a claim that Secret Service officials warned Trump’s campaign about the remarks. In an updated version of the article published at 8.30 pm, CNN claimed that

    A US Secret Service official confirms to CNN that the USSS has spoken to the Trump campaign regarding his Second Amendment comments.

    “There has been more than one conversation” on the topic, the official told CNN
    .

    However, CNN also undermined its own 8.30 pm article by saying that “it’s unclear at what level in the campaign structure the conversations occurred.”

    The Reuters article was published 8.57 pm, or almost 30 minutes later. Headlined, “Official: No formal Secret Service discussions with Trump camp on remark,” the Reuters article said,

    A federal official on Wednesday said the U.S. Secret Service had not formally spoken with Republican Donald Trump’s presidential campaign regarding his suggestion a day earlier that gun rights activists could stop Democratic rival Hillary Clinton from curtailing their access to firearms.

    … Earlier CNN had reported that there had been multiple conversations between the campaign and the agency
    .

    In the late afternoon, Trump had scoffed at the CNN’s claim of Secret Service concern.

    Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
    No such meeting or conversation ever happened - a made up story by "low ratings" @CNN.

    CNN needs to FIRE whoever reported the falsehood and every manager and editor that didn't check it out and let it go on the air, over and over and over and over and over.

    CNN is the LEADER of the SICK, MENTALLY ILL CORRUPT MEDIA. They give false fodder to the lamebrain idiots at MSNBC and of course all the uneducated mentally disturbed emotional wrecks at the New York Times, Washington Post and all who "follow" them.

    They have met their match here with Donald J Trump, and it really is making them BAT CRAP CRAZY!! What's worse, they know many of the polls they're hoping to swing this election to Hillary by falsely posing her as the "leader", the "winner", are soon to collapse by such margins that their tricks can't even conceal them, and time is running out. They're on the 20 yard line, 3 points ahead, and Trump's got the ball for a HUUUUUGE TOUCHDOWN to win the game on November 8, and that's before he's spent a dime on advertising.

    All their donors and lefties know that when Trump wins, their selfish, self-centered little globalist world sucking the US and our citizens dry as a bone will soon be brought to an end.

    END THE INSANITY!!

    VOTE FOR DONALD J TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!

    So called correspondent/ reporter Jim Sciutto of CNN is the one who repeatedly said today that he had spoken to Secret Service and that they certainly did talk to Trump Campaign. I think CNN has taken lying to a new level. They seem to be determined to exaggerate or make things up about Donald Trump.

    Official: No formal Secret Service discussions with Trump camp on remark
    WASHINGTON | By Alana Wise

    A federal official on Wednesday said the U.S. Secret Service had not formally spoken with Republican Donald Trump's presidential campaign regarding his suggestion a day earlier that gun rights activists could stop Democratic rival Hillary Clinton from curtailing their access to firearms.

    Following Trump's comment at a rally on Tuesday in which he suggested that gun rights activists could stop Clinton from appointing liberal anti-gun justices to the U.S. Supreme Court, a federal official familiar with the matter told Reuters that there had been no formal conversations between the Secret Service and the Trump campaign.

    Earlier CNN had reported that there had been multiple conversations between the campaign and the agency.

    "If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks," Trump told a North Carolina campaign rally on Tuesday. "Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know," he added, leading some critics to believe Trump was referring to gun violence against his rival.

    The controversy came as the campaign tried to stay on message after a contentious previous week. Trump weathered criticism within his own party for delaying endorsements of fellow Republicans and for a prolonged clash with the family of a fallen Muslim American U.S. Army captain.

    The campaign denied that inciting violence had been the intent of Tuesday's remark, and on Wednesday said there had been no conversations with the Secret Service about it.

    "No such meeting or conversation ever happened," Trump wrote on Twitter, accusing CNN of having made up the report.
