What does CNN have to gain by hiring Corey Lewandowski 3 Days after being fired from the Trump Campaign?

An audience. CNN is desperate for a share of the audience. If they think Lewandowski can bring that, they'll hire him.

Trying to associate Lewandowski to the "Never Trump" camp, just by his name being associated with CNN.....I guess you could call it a PSYOP ! Good Question BTW

But that's the whole point... he might not be able to say anything negative about Trump, but that won't stop others from criticizing Trump. They can just use him to add more fuel to the fire.

Good question! The way I figure it to be would have him talking "around" Trumps coming and goings without directly mentioning his name ever. I don't see where Trump could sue as long as his name isn't mentioned or mentioned negatively. He's going to throw a few haymakers being it was Trumps daughter that gave Pops the ultimatum him or me.

Just to keep the left guessing...and clearly it's working.

Create a facade of objectivity?

Better than the obscurity of MSNBC. And he is getting big bucks.

Always biased, yes. Part of a plan by Trump, yes. What CNN has to gain, a little bit of pandering to insane Trump supporters. Note: I do NOT support Clinton either.

CNN is not afraid of anything that Lewandowski might say. They have many lawyers to combat Trump's lawyers. It is a stunt to get more viewers.
