On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Hardball,” former CBS host Dan Rather stated that regardless of whether the allegations that Russia has damaging material on President-Elect Donald Trump are true or not, “a lot of the damage has already been done,” and he would be “all over that like a hawk on a rabbit.”
When asked what he thought the big news of the night was, Rather answered, “I’m a breaking news guy, and this — these allegations, and I underscore the word these allegations about what the Russians may or may not have on Donald Trump. In many ways, whether it’s true or untrue, a lot of the damage has already been done, because it raises new questions about who this man is, who’s coming into the presidency. So, tonight’s breaking news, it just broke a few hours ago, I’d be all over that like a hawk on a rabbit.”
