MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell apologizes for supposed Russia ‘scoop’

Trump's returns could very well have labeled this revenue 'loans', having a look at those tax documents Deutsch Bank is sitting on sure would help, eh?

Did you read the original post? Do you even know what this is about? Can you in fact tell us in your own words what Lawrence O'Donnell wrote about in the story he apologized for? Can you in fact understand that having his taxes would show nothing about who signed these loan documents because these loans wouldn't even be reported on there, unless the interest was deductible and even then nothing about the loan origination would be on the taxes?

Again, in your own words, what was the story about? This is the first thing I asked.... What is this about?

If you can't answer that all you will continue to do is sound desperate and prove your own incapacity to actually comprehend what is going on around you. Nothing you are asking for would prove Lawrence's story. That is the first thing you need to comprehend. No tax document lists co-signers. It doesn't happen. The taxes would not list it as revenue, and the only reason there would even be tax documents is if the interest was deductible and the tax document would only show the interest paid in the year, not who signed the documents.

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell has apologized for claiming, without any evidence, that Russian oligarchs with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin co-signed loans given to President Trump by Deutsche Bank.

I asked Wednesday morning how long it would be before the cable news host retracted or, at the very least, corrected his bogus Russia “scoop,” which he based on the say-so of a sole anonymous source who had not even seen the alleged evidence of Trump's ties to Putin.

As it turns out, the answer to that question was about 18 hours.

“Last night I made an error in judgment by reporting an item about the president’s finances that didn’t go through our rigorous verification and standards process,” O’Donnell said Wednesday afternoon on social media. “I shouldn’t have reported it and I was wrong to discuss it on the air. I will address the issue on my show tonight.”
