You hit the nail on the head. Either Lincoln tried a cheap extortion attempt and/or Rita beat him to it. He was evasive and Liz outright lied. Don Clark would not put his reputation on the line for a false claim in which he had nothing to gain.
Liz said on Lincoln’s tape she was never present.
Tonight she said she was there but she denied they said there was a tape.
Thompson and Bains are running a scam on american media.
