CNN’s Ana Navarro tweeted Friday that President Trump may be striking Syrian targets in order to distract from news about James Comey and Michael Cohen’s office raid.
Navarro said:
It is true Trump may have ordered strikes against Syria to distract attention from Comey book & Cohen investigation
It is true Assad is committing genocide. The international community cannot, must not allow him to kill Syrians ppl w/impunity
The two, are not mutually exclusive

The anti-Trump CNN commentator made these comments in the wake of Trump announcing new targeted strikes on Syria.
“Following the horrors of World War I a century ago, civilized nations joined together to ban chemical warfare,” Trump said. “Chemical weapons are uniquely dangerous, not only because they inflict gruesome suffering, but even small amounts can unleash widespread devastation.” (RELATED: ‘CRIMES OF A MONSTER:’ Trump Strikes Assad For Chemical Weapons Attack)
