MARIA BARTIROMO (ANCHOR): Don't you find it ironic, Miranda, that once again they take that same strategy out and that is change the conversation. The timing of the P. Diddy arrest, please, they must have had the P. Diddy arrest on the shelf waiting to take it off the shelf for when they needed it. And yesterday, boy oh boy did they need it because the questions were spiking everywhere as far as how it is possible that another assassination attempt happened, that another would be assassin was within a couple of hundred yards of President Trump. As we're all asking these questions, boom, they take P. Diddy in and now we're all talking about that, take it off the front page. This strategy over and over again, I saw right through it as soon as it happened.

MARIA BARTIROMO: They want those questions to go away, so they give the media a nice perfectly wrapped package to go wall-to-wall with, CNN was wall-to-wall on P. Diddy yesterday, which we will get to and is a very important story, don't get me wrong. But they've known about it, they were waiting to bring it out when they needed to and yesterday was the perfect day.
