True story: We honestly thought this was an old clip of CNN’s Jim Acosta insisting that the Obama administration never spied on the Trump campaign; we mean, he’s obviously seen all the documentation we’ve seen of Obama’s FBI using bogus documents to get FISA court approval to spy on Trump adviser Carter Page. But then we looked at the chyron on the clip and it says, “Biden Picks Sen. Kamala Harris as Running Mate,” so this has to have aired on Tuesday … and Mr. “We Are Real News, Mr. President” himself is still repeating this.
It’s nothing you don’t already know: The mainstream media spent years covering the Trump campaign’s collusion with Russia and still insists he did, but Acosta flat-out denies that the Obama administration spied on the Trump campaign despite the evidence.

It's incredible they keep dying on this hill. Trump was spied on, there's no real debate over that. https://t.co/pxaF3Jwwov

He was. By the most corrupt administration ever…

Denying the increasingly undeniable. The CNN way.

They died on the JFK hill for decades. Obama is just the new Camelot.
For the rest of my life we will have to hear the gauzy remembrance of hope and change. And nothing can sully it.

Another example of why Acosta and CNN and no credibility.

They get up every morning, look into the mirror and practice this junk. Must be hard

It is fact at this point. The only question remaining is if anyone will be going to jail for it.

But to admit it means that Trump was correct about something. That cannot be allowed but it might also shake their beliefs on how they view their own side. pic.twitter.com/jV3C6anUUg

He can’t even look into the camera when he says it. He knows he is lying.
— Jana_Lightfoot (@jana_lightfoot) August 13, 2020
He sure don’t look at that camera very much while he is saying that. Lol. It’s just hard to blatantly look at that camera and lie I guess?♀️ how can these people face themselves even?

Agreed. Time’s running out.
Anyone in the media that is still covering for this crime was an active participant in carrying it out. That is my opinion. #Spygate

Since newer dark haired Jim Acosta says it, it must be 100% true ?
— CConstantine B (@constantine4179) August 13, 2020
Acosta’s lack of integrity is nothing short of supernatural. It continues to astound and mystify me.
— Cinde Watson (@cindewatson) August 13, 2020
Jim Acosta is a lying sack of shit.
— Antonio Martinez (@djtechchicago) August 13, 2020
So who made him say that? Because he knows it's not true.
— AshesToAshas (@AshesTo19570185) August 12, 2020
It hasn’t been proven, Jim??? You certain about that? I guess all the hearings @LindseyGrahamSC is holding are preliminary?
— The Scotts the Limit (@ScottPage1) August 12, 2020
If the hearings don't air on CNN, they never happened.
— Miss Austen (@kathoneil27) August 12, 2020
Another lie from Acosta. Shocking. Notice he can’t even look directly at the camera.
— USA (@RedWhiteBlue4vr) August 12, 2020
I noticed he couldn’t keep eye contact with the camera when he was speaking the untruth. He knows!
— TruthSeeker (@SoulPostings) August 12, 2020
.@Acosta, I know @CNN pays you a bunch of money to read their scripts. Sounds like a cush job. I'm just wondering if you really believe what you read? I guess it's pretty easy to sleep at night with all the bucks in the bank, but it's doesn't show much integrity.
