Ken Dilanian

And the news media does us no favors.

There's one particular guy, his name's Ken Dilanian, okay? Ken Dilanian, they call him Fusion Ken-

[laughs]

... 'cause he was on the payroll of Fusion GPS when they leaked the dossier about Donald Trump, the Russian dossier, and he was the first, one of the first reporters to report it on it.

And for five years, four years, he was like, "Trump's a Russian agent, sources say, my sources say, my FBI sources say, intelligence sources say." He's a deep state mouthpiece, okay? They've leaked tons of stories out through Ken Dilanian that over time get proven to be false.

But by the time they're false, we kinda move on.

[laughs]

[laughs]

It'll always be MSNBC.

Comes from Ken Dilanian, who I was accused of being a source for recently.

I don't know why.

I've never spoken to Ken Dilanian.

I could have told him this a couple of years ago.

Headline, "Crime stats touted by Kash Patel are bolstered by arrests made by state and local agencies, not the FBI." What he doesn't mention is that his count is inflated by including arrests that state and local police forces and other federal agencies have made when an FBI employee is present, he being Kash Patel.

I'm gonna shift gears now to a story we covered.

Remember Ken Dilanian and the MS Now talking about Kash Patel had landed in Russia.

Since, you know, we're talking about Putin.

Uh, something popped in my head the other day, but I wanna go to the with- the, the re- the redaction.

And Ken Dilanian is, once again, r- while he is a far left radical ideologue, he suffers from massive amounts of Trump derangement, and I have no problem believing that he would lie again in a heartbeat if he thought it was gonna hurt the administration, true or not.

But wanted to remind everybody that he'll retract it, but it's only because his, his sources, his sources were wrong.

Which gave me pause when he said this, but let me go ahead and get the, with the, the retraction from Ken Dilanian and MS Now on the Kash Patel having been landed in Russia when he was actually at a law enforcement event in Virginia.

All right, we have an update on a story our MS Now justice and intelligence reporter, Ken Dilanian, brought us last hour.

[laughs]

So Ken Dilanian and MS Now ran a, a show, uh, ran a, you know, with the two sources scoop that had Kash Patel landing in Russia for FSB meetings, guys.

But he was actually at Liberty University in Virginia the whole time.

They issued a correction.

Russia.

That's all you had.

This is Ken Dilanian and Carol Leonnig.

And Leonnig did, th- luckily did not go on the air with this, but Dilanian did.

Give me the syringe."

I think that I wanted to get to this one today just because it's just too much fun withMSNow, since we were talking about Lawrence O'Donnell earlier, and that is they come out yesterday, Confusion Ken Dilanian came out and said, "Kash Patel's in Russia, sources say."

[laughs]

And then it turns out he's in Virginia at Jerry Falwell's Liberty University, and it's like, guys.

But Dilanian is not new.

He's, like, the king of the Russian collusion stories.

If, if he were capable of embarrassment, I wouldn't know who Ken Dilanian was-

[laughs]

MS Now has learned FBI Director Little Cashews landed in Russia for a meeting.

MS Now justice and intelligence reporter Ken Dilanian.

The New Voice of Ukraine headline, FBI Director Little Cashew lands in Moscow for two-day visit.

Little Cashew arrived in Russia 10/14 for a two-day visit, MS Now reported 45 minutes ago.

Or I don't know if he announced it or, or some other part of the government did, that Kash Patel would be traveling to Moscow this month to meet with Russian officials.

Uh, Ken Dilanian at MS Now reported yesterday that Kash had arrived in Moscow for that.

It turned out that that reporting was erroneous because Kash was still in the US.

But it seems like it's still kind of unan-answered question if that trip is still going to happen that was previously announced, or maybe there was kind of a, you know, a thinking twice about that.
