CNN's Chris Cuomo is a man who likes to make up his own 'facts'.  Remember back in October 2016 when he told his CNN viewers that it was "illegal to possess" documents published by Wikileaks but continued that "it's different for the media...so everything you learn about this, you're learning from us."  That's one way to keep a captive audience and control messaging...just scare them into viewership by telling them it's illegal to consume information directly from their original sources...
