The announcement of FBI Director Andrew McCabe’s ouster threw the news media for a tailspin, in particular, CNN’s Jim Acosta.
In less than 40 minutes, Acosta contradicted himself with a pair of frantic tweets that told a very different story.
Acosta first reported that a “source” familiar with the McCabe matter said his departure was a “mutual” decision, and that McCabe was tired of being undermined at the bureau while Trump was not “happy with him.”
Source familiar with McCabe matter describes his departure as a “mutual” decision. He was tired of being “undermined” but Trump and WH was “not happy” with him.

The chief White House Correspondent, who has a tumultuous relationship with the Trump administration, changed his tune with a second tweet minutes later.
Instead of correcting his first claim, Acosta began his conflicting tweet with “more…” and piggybacked his former claim to add that McCabe was being “pushed out.”

Amazingly, the CNN “journalist” was able to get away with this contradictory claim without a correction. But, there were more than a few who picked up on the fact that someone can’t willingly leave and be “pushed out” at the same time.

The White House claim that McCabe *wasn't* pushed out survived intact… {checks watch}… for 45 minutes.
And Chris Wray, positioned as a hero who stood up to Sessions on McCabe *last* week, ultimately did the White House's bidding. The media got straight-up bamboozled on Wray. https://t.co/jfttCceOsE
