As the nation prepares for the peaceful transfer of power on Inauguration Day, CNN is dreaming up scenarios whereby the Obama administration can keep power if President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence were blown up as they prepared to take to oath of office.
On the Wednesday, January 18 broadcast of CNN’s The Situation Room, host Wolf Blitzer aired a segment with a chyron featuring the headline “Developing Now.” During that “developing” segment, Blitzer and correspondent Brian Todd discussed what would happen if the unthinkable occurred on January 20.
Blitzer introduced the segment, saying, “What if an incoming president and his immediate successors were wiped out on day one?” and from there, CNN contributor Brian Todd took over to outline the line of succession if an attack blew up the inaugural dais, killing both Trump and Pence.
The upshot was that in the case of both heads of state being killed, the Secretary of State would take over. Currently that man is Secretary of State John Kerry, But in case some objected because his office would also end as of noon on Inauguration Day, then it would be the Speaker of the House — Republican Paul Ryan — or even Obama’s Under Secretary for Political Affairs Tom Shannon.

John F Kennedy and Robert Kennedy all over again. Anyone who threatens the establishment can look forward to their days being numbered! Good thing he can afford the best security money can buy! One assignation attempt has already been made against him by a former FBI agent at Trump Tower three months ago. They quietly swept this under the rug and hushed it up right away.
CNN needs to be charged with treason and just go away.
President-Elect Trump and Vice-President-Elect Pence need to make sure that President Obama (feels good writing that for the last time) extremely close to them the whole time that they're on-stage on January 20th.
I hope trump brings down the full weight of the White House on CNN. President Trump will be in charge of NSA CIA FBI list goes on. Time will tell if CNN even survives.
Once again CNN shows the world they're nothing more than a DNC newsletter filled with nonesense! The question is how much longer will CNN exist? Predict Roger Ailes is working to get another news network up so we can cut this fish bait once and for all. Ratings are tanking. Oops 🙊!
Why? With every piece of BS they publish, they make themselves more and more irrelevant to the people. Sure there's going to be some faction of our society that wallows in their own cesspool of ignorance but those numbers are growing smaller as these fantastically incorrect stories surface from lunatic fringe element known as CNN.
TREASON.
902 this is so much different from the Kennedys. Please do yourself a favor and actually seek out historical facts instead of playing with mythological shadow puppets in the wall. 🙄
TRUMP NEEDS TO SEE THIS.
Is Wolf Blitzer leveling some kind of threat to the President Elect and Vice President Elect? Not a wise thing to do for a failing network. 🤣🤣
And they call themselves news media. They need to apologize for this. Unfathomable & outrageous. Wonder why they're failing. How about hockey like this?
Can we imagine the outrage if this were discussed on Fox News about Obama? My dear lord Fox Studios would be burnt to the ground.
931 don't worry. He has. Look to new rank changes in WH press pool. Nothing worse for media is being denied access. Guess they'll have to ride Trump Twitter Timeline for news! Wait, they already do that!
Whoever said that should jerked out of their office and made an example of.
Hope their detained and investigated properly for it.
I am trying to get this story up on the DailyMail.
Notice no one else is talking this crazy crap. CNN is just being foolish. The ly declared war on our President back in November so they'd better bring it to their losing battle.
Trump
I want cnn investigated for this.
Have any of you seen what this Anus eh, citizen, has on their web page? Guide to Disrespecting Donald Trump? Wow.
The Secret Service didn't visit them???
If a private citizen postulated what would happen if someone blew up the dias and killed elected officials, especially the incoming President, they'd already be in handcuffs.
Remember the boy who posted a Facebook suggestion that, in the wake of some terrorist attacks, obama should be careful??? The Secret Service immediately put agent on a plane and they went to his school to question the kid (without his parent there, too)!!!
But CNN can do this and nothing happens????
THIS is all over the internet trump needs to pull cnn press pass and pay zucker a visit by the SS.
ALSO could this be the reason NO DEMS are showing up tomm ?
its up.
Call the Secret Service
The speaker of the house takes over
