I guess if spokesmen for the people who would be held responsible told Griffin it isn't true - that's just the end of it.

They are referring to the report of the drone not being allowed to kill the Kabul bomber.

I scrolled down the linked Twitter feed and found this from a Daily Caller tweet:

“’I am not going to go into the details of a private conversation,’ @PressSec says when asked about a leaked call in which Biden pressured the former Afghan president to suggest the fight against the Taliban was going well ‘whether it is true or not’”

Still no details.

The Maurer Report.

Am I supposed to know what the Maurer Report is about?

Google and Bing have nothing politically or Afghan related.

Let the Special Prosecutor decide whether or not it is true.

The "Maurer Report" refers to a report from former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Western Hemisphere Affairs, Roger Pardo-Maurer.

It was Pardo-Maurer who said that Biden had declined to use a drone strike to take out the suicide bomber days before the death of our soldiers.

Fox News national security correspondent debunks claim that Biden knew about Kabul bomber and refused to act

by 


A Fox News reporter is pushing back against claims that President Joe Biden had refused to order a drone strike on a suicide bomber who killed 13 U.S. service members in Afghanistan.

[...]

Newsbusters' Jorge Bonilla tweeted out the article he authored promoting Pardo-Maurer's claim, asking, "For how long in advance did we have eyes on the Kabul bomber *prior* to his arrival at [Hamid Karzai International Airport], and who issued the stand down order to the Predator drone operator that had a lock on the Kabul bomber?" The conservative website RedState also picked up the story, which was promoted by RealClearPolitics co-founder and president Tom Bevan.

"If this report is true - and it remains a big 'if' - it would be catastrophic for the Biden administration," Bevan tweeted.

That's when Fox News national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin chimed in, putting a damper on right-wing media's latest "bombshell" report.

"The problem is this report is NOT true," Griffin wrote while retweeting Bevan. "Spoke to multiple senior leaders today in chain of command and I am told on authority this DID NOT happen. On the record from Gen McKenzie Spox: Capt Bill Urban, 'This is NOT true. It never happened.'"

[...]

You might want to try including some journalism 101

Who: Griffin and Maurer (whoever they are)
What: It
Why: ?
Where:?
When: Never

Yep. Looks like a full story

Just messing with you but to be honest, I had absolutely no idea what the story was or was not.

Trust the Chain of Command
Joe Biden would NEVER withhold a military strike that might upset the TollyBon

For the record, Ms Griffin is married to Greg Myre; a former AP and NYT Middle East correspondent. He is an Ivy League alumni (Yale) and is currently employed by NPR as their national security correspondent.

Jennifer Griffin isn’t trustworthy. She is the person who said Trump called dead American soldiers from World War I “losers“ and “suckers”. That was proven to be yet more anti-Trump propaganda.

The problem with a story like this is it is EXTREMELY unlikely it could ever be proven true or false. It would take an audio and video recording of Biden actually speaking with someone about this specific incident and Biden saying: “...No, we can’t kill that bomber, the Tallyban says we’re not allowed...”.

If there were such a recording there is NO democrat staffer that has the integrity to leak it—they know they’d end up like Seth Rich.

If Trump were President the dems would manufacture such a recording, using all the best technology from Hollyweird and the CIA to frame him.

Could it be that Bidens team leaked a false report to start a story that is HUGE HUGE HUGE to cry impeachment..

then when it is confirmed false people will say “Oh well I guess the withdraw wasn’t really that bad compared to this”
