So what. All of 15 people saw it, and none would believe the retraction anyway.

“Go Low Joe” performed to expectations.

He’ll be ol’ “Mourning Joe” from here on out, and he’d best lean into it, ‘cuz he and his crocodile tears will be flying solo unless he goes old world and hires professionals.

co-host Jonathan Lemire said as he opened the correction.

Why didn't Joe or Mika issue the correction? Or was Lemire brought on just to clean up Joe's and Mika's wild accusations and slander as his full time job?

Sort of like the View having to make retraction statements demanded by the legal department.

If they carried it far enough the View and Morning Joe would be five minutes long after slanders and lies were taken out.

‘The View’ hosts forced to issue four ‘legal notes’ in a single episode spent trashing Trump’s cabinet picks.

So quite a bit.

Because once it is out there people repeat it as fact and then ask those who disbelieve it to "disprove it".

The days of letting people lie about you and meekly taking it are over.

And that is a good thing even if you do not approve.

It certainly isn’t an apology, which is what Patel deserves

The art of the smear as Pelosi called it, make up a lie about someone, make it go viral everywhere, and a few days later say “oops our bad we made a boo boo” but at that point no is listening since everyone heard the lie

This is the very definition of “blinded by hate”.

Amazed on how many stupid people thought highly of the FBI under Bush, Soetero, and Bidet... and still do. Their only chance of every being taken seriously again and not corrupt is under Trump/Patel.

This was a misstatement. We have not verified that claim.

Sounds like Kash Patel should be talking to some of the departments lawyers a good time to make an example of the propaganda agents.

I’m no expert, but I suppose this has been a D tactic for centuries.

That brings up an old saying “Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice shame on me”

Someone can be embarrassed if they have a sense of shame.
The leftists don’t.

They say people who take and pass polygraph tests can do so if they lack a sense of shame over telling lies. Many criminals have no such feelings.

Basis of the Nicolas Cage true event movie Frozen Ground,
Robert Hansen, was an American serial killer in Anchorage, Alaska, between 1972 and 1983, abducting, raping and murdering at least seventeen women. Convicted after one young woman lived to testify. In real interviews and transcripts he shows absolutely no guilt or shame and believes his incarceration was unfair.

If Patel has any stones he would sue Figliuzzi for slander since he’s the one who made the ststement.

Paging Karoline Leavitt’s attorneys.
(she just won an $800M judgement against the View & ABC, and has another suit pending)

The FBI is long overdue to investigate death of Lori Klausutis, an intern for Joe Scarborough, who was found dead in his office in 2001.

I still don’t feel that I ‘know’ Kash Patel as a politician or activist very well. I’m not yet sure what is to be expected in his new position. But then, it’s still early in Trump’s second term, so Kash has time to establish his own pattern of action.

I learned what I should or should not expect from Christopher Wray very quickly.
