[See NewsBusters for more.] [See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning journalist Anthony Mason on Thursday cited a man who compared Donald Trump to the Nazis as an example of supposed building pressure “from the right” on Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Talking to Republican operative Dan Senor about two meetings Sessions had last year with the Russian ambassador, Mason hyped, “There's pressure in some cases coming from the right on this.” He then quoted, “Richard Painter, the former White House ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush in a tweet said, ‘Misleading the Senate in sworn testimony is a good way to go to jail.’” Perhaps Painter isn’t the best example of the everyday voice from the right.
