Hmm… the last time we checked on CNN’s Jim Acosta, he was passing on a story he was told by an anonymous former aide to Sen. John McCain that President Trump lied when he claimed McCain had misled the White House and said he was going to support the effort to repeal and replace Obamacare before changing his mind and becoming the deciding vote in keeping the ACA in place.

A lot of Arizona voters who clearly recall McCain campaigning on a platform of repealing Obamacare wondered just who this anonymous former aide was, exactly. Acosta couldn’t name his source, but he thought it was important to put the story out there, you know?

Now Acosta is yet again relying on an anonymous Trump adviser who tells him Trump will overreach during his victory lap on the Mueller report. This same unnamed, unidentified adviser said the same thing always happens.

Trump adviser says there are concerns that during the president's upcoming victory lap Trump will "overreach" and say something that will create more trouble for him with the public. Happens whenever he gets good news, adviser says. — Jim Acosta (@Acosta) March 24, 2019

Care to name your source for all the anti-Trump innuendo you put out on social media for a change?

You don't know the adviser, she uh goes to a different adviser schoolhttps://t.co/hes2ahEnnY — David Burge (@iowahawkblog) March 25, 2019

I think we can narrow down the adviser in this Acosta exclusive to either George Glass or Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo — David Burge (@iowahawkblog) March 25, 2019

Is this like that adviser from Canada you had last summer? — Colin Fraizer (@cfraizer) March 25, 2019

Dear Diary, Niagara Falls has been a blast! I didn't know that the falls on the Canadian side are TWICE the size of those on the bad ol' US side. Hurrah, Nationalized Falls! Oh, and I met this girl today. Well, almost. She sat near me on the bus. I think she might be an adviser! — Alaska Four-9???? (@Alaska_Four_9) March 25, 2019

Advisor is really just that pink elephant that shows up every night in Acosta’s place after he’s had a few too many. — K J Gillenwater (@kjgillenwater) March 25, 2019

“Do you have a picture of the advisor?”

“Nah, man, she’s supposed to send me one”

“What’s her name?”

“Uh……Jane……you don’t know her” — Mr. Peepers (@UrbanOutdoorman) March 25, 2019

An advisor. To Trump. Telling YOU some sh** like this? You crazy. No one believes you and your 'sources'. — Nationalist Conservatopia (@WTPatty) March 25, 2019

Raise your hand if you believe Jim has quality sources at the White House.? Coz the press hasn't gotten burned by anonymous sources at all these last two years. — The end of #FakeNews is at hand (@emilykholcomb) March 25, 2019

I'm gonna go ahead and guess this didn't actually happen. — Rusty Weiss ??? (@rustyweiss74) March 25, 2019

One of Jim's "voices" is a Trump adviser. — Eddie5150 (@eddieVH_2018) March 25, 2019

You are projecting again. — Shari Odell (@ShariOdell) March 25, 2019

Care to name them, Jimmy? — Natsfan1 (@sdsyl659) March 25, 2019

Good question:

Is there any chance the media wouldn't overreach on their celebration had he been found guilty? — Carlos Toraño (@catorano) March 25, 2019

They had practically declared him guilty two years ago and were just waiting for the proof to show up.

Do you mean he’s going to state that he intends to start spending his political capital? #BarrSummary #MuellerReport ? — Karen Boyce (@karenboyce39) March 25, 2019
