Where have we seen this approach before? Oh, yeah, that's right, it was a mistake when Clinton played with Monica in the Oral Office. It was a mistake when Clinton lied under oath.
Sorry, it wasn't a mistake. If Eason does not have proof, it was a deliberate LIE. And he should be fired for it. It is not up to us to prove he was lying. It is up to him to demonstrate he was telling the truth. Anything less is just a Dan Rather moment.
When a liberal deliberately makes a false statement, it's a mistake.
