Willie Geist Can't Believe CNN Just 'Threw It Out There'
This morning there was such pearl clutching on Morning Joe over the CNN story on Russians alleged compromising info on Donald Trump.
They shouldn't have! They should have! It's a circus! Trump always wins when there's a circus!
I didn't think much of it until Willie Geist said this:
WILLIE GEIST: There's a reason that Tom Brokaw and Richard Engle have known about this for four months and you haven't heard it on NBC News. There's a reason as The New York Times says in its piece, they've known about it and haven't reported on it. It's an unsubstantiated claim! News organizations have been working hard to do it, but if the new standard from one news organization last night is, we're gonna put it out there, and let the people decide, that's a crazy precedent.
Let's stay classy and leave "unsubstantiated" golden showers out of this.
I'm in Moscow for Miss Universe tonight - picking a winner is very hard, they are all winners. Total sellout of arena. Big night in Russia!

The facts are that:
Donald Trump was in Moscow as a private citizen in 2013.
