Michael Flynn is prepared to testify that Donald Trump directed him to contact the Russians as president-elect, not as a candidate, ABC News reports, correcting their earlier report.
Why it matters: ABC called it a clarification, downplaying an epic mistake that sent markets tumbling and Twitter on fire with thousands of shares. Axios and others highlighted the ABC report in stories that were viewed by millions. (We regret highlighting a story that had one source making an astonishing allegation.) ABC's statement 35 words
Trump had denied having, or being aware of, any contact with the Russians during the campaign, which would have been highly unusual. Reaching out to foreign governments during transitions is more standard procedure.

Axios should change their name to “Assholes”. More appropriate, don’t you think?
I thought Brian Ross was dead. He sure looks like it and after this screw-up, his career might be. Oh wait, it’s ABC, the “Always Bull Crap” network. Nevermind!
Not a correction. They intended to do it this way so the more explosive original story could establish the narrative.
Brian Ross knew damn well what he was doing, and perhaps even by the direction of someone on Team Mueller.
but we all know how that would play out
just ask Seth Rich
Remember Obama set the precedent of having the Office of the President Elect.
He's the asshole who tried to connect the Aurora, CO shooter to the TEA Party and acted like he had "breaking news" until it was shown to be BS "reporting".

Ha, great point.
But if they told the truth the first time, the left couldn’t create meme to make all their Brain dead snowflake followers feel good, now claims of they.
I recently had a conversation with a lefty who showed me a meme someone had shared with them on FB as the source for their “facts.” A few quick google searches proved everything in it wrong. Not to worry, they still uses memes and VICE clips on FB because “it make it easier to visualize ad understand the words in relation to the things they are talking about.” And that’s want a mountain of student debt to get a Masters in Art History gets you.
Mr. 'kidnap plot' Flynn is a bad seed who lied to Pence. How many other times had he lied to Trump before then? Countless, I suppose, since he was working for Team Deep State all along.
During a campaign is fine too. Everyone forget Obama going to Iraq and negotiating for them to reject Bush’s status of forces agreement until after the election he anticipated winning?
*Trump did not actually order Flynn to collaborate with Russia.
If lying is a federal crime, then will Mr. Mueller indict Brian Ross?
ABC News and Brian Ross did more to help Trump today with their irresponsible Flynn plea deal reporting than Trump could’ve ever asked for.
So the earlier erroneous description was... _fake news_?
LOL
