A Project Veritas reporter caught CNN's Van Jones say the Russia probe was a "nothing burger" back in 2017. The issue was brought back up again last month during CPAC, when Jones was seen confronting the reporting, saying to release the full, unedited version of the video.

James O'Keefe did just that and shared the full video, clearly showing Jones saying the Russia probe was a "nothing burger."
We caught up with @VanJones68 at CPAC - he accused us of taking his Russia"nothingburger" comment out of context. We did not. Here is the raw: https://t.co/fP5bwkDef8

Jones initially received flack from the Left when the video and his comments resurfaced last month. People on his side were upset with him for breaking from the Democratic Party – and CNN's – stance on Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
If anything, conservatives need to give Jones a round of applause. He broke with the pack, said what he truly thought and felt and guess what? He ended up being right. The Russia probe was one giant nothing burger. The Mueller report and Attorney General William Barr's summary prove that.
Now, the question is simple: will Democrats come to their senses (unlikely) and say Jones' analysis of the situation was spot on? Highly unlikely. But we can hope.
