Why O'Donnell Retracted his Russian Co-Signer Story so Hard?
Vanity | 8/30/2019 | Self

Why did Lawrence O'Donnell Retract his Trump/Russian Co-Signer Story so Hard?

He had just done a Bombshell of a story that Trump had Co-signed with a Russian Oligarch and that Duetsche Bank had the documents to prove it. But now he is doing a crab walk backwards and is doing a Full Mea-Culpa which PMSNBC almost never does. What gives?

Well if he was Trolled, I believe he would have done a Partial Mea-Culpa couching it in terms still snide to the President. But he's doing the full crab-walk backwards. A troll just makes up stories and PMSNBC has run with these and not crab walked backwards. So what could it be?

Could it have been a Troll in the Trump administration? No, I don't think so; O'Donnell would still not be trying to come out so cleanly. Then what?

If it were Trump's lawyers threatening to sue him, he would have worn it as a badge of courage. So I don't think it was that.

My belief is that it was a fake news DNC planted story and O'Donnell's staff found out about it. Not only did they find out about it, but that it could be traced back to the DNC or whatever DemocRATic source it came from.

In other words, O'Donnell was forced to do the Full Mea-Culpa so that his DemocRAT source hopefully would not be looked into by other media and the true magnitude of his failing be exposed. AND HE DOES NOT WANT HIS SUPPORT FUNDS FROM DEMOCRATIC SOURCES TO DRY UP AND HE BE LEFT HIGH AND DRY. WITHOUT THE MONEY PROPPING HIM UP, HE KNOWS HE IS DOOMED.

Maybe it's something else. But this is the only thing that I can think of to make O'Donnell do such a thing.

The PA was outed by the WaPo for feeding it more fake news. Trump fed her th eh bombs for hurricane line, WaPo publishes it and they look like fools again. WaPo did payback to a source gone bad. O’Donnell was just stupid and still is.

The Alex Jones mea culpa on Pizzagate comes to mind, eh?

He fully pooh-pooh’d the story as false. That’s about as good as you’re going to get from those psycho’s.

The fake leak came from his gatekeeper...POTUS got both of them. She gone, he recants.

Fantastic, if true.

On the surface, it looks like a O'Donnell and the network decided they were being set up by Trump operatives or supporters as part of an elaborate scheme to embarrass them (showing the public how O'Donnell and the network, driven solely by their hatred of Trump, would accept as fact any flimsy negative story about Trump that washes over their transom).

O'Donnell and/or the network caught onto the trick (or just suspected it was a trick) and blew the whistle to minimize the damage.

Interesting take! It’s true that these people are so bat$hit crazy that they believe their own lies! It could be possible that PMSNBC told this jerk he was on his own and they wouldn’t back him because of the expensive lawyer fees. Maybe that’s why he was so quick to cover his a$$.

Well that’s a fun theory whether or not it’s true!

O’Donnell isn’t any kind of “journalist”, he’s just an elite fop who thought it would be fun to play one on TV. NBC should dump him, he’s a dick.

Exactly! This was nothing like a retraction, let alone a hard retraction, which is why I believe Trump's son said a lawsuit would definitely be filed and rightly so.

“There’s no proof it’s accurate either.”

But....the seriousness of the charge, and all that....we need an investigation.

In what world would a bank issue a 100+ million dollar loan to someone who isn’t credit worthy and needs a co-signer?

Co-signers are usually for auto loans and small personal loans, usually to people with no credit or bad credit.

FAKE NEWS

Only if we had a news media who would ask these questions of people who put this garbage out there.

Thanks. Like I said, it is just a case. The timing is pretty much spot on. All within 48hrs.
