ABC NEWS spokesman Jeff Schneider tells the DRUDGE REPORT: "There is nothing at all true about us having double sourced anything" regarding indictments.

Latest from Drudge. Looks like Matt got fooled by someone.

ABC NEWS spokesman Jeff Schneider tells the DRUDGE REPORT: "There is nothing at all true about us having double sourced anything" regarding indictments.
Latest from Drudge. Looks like Matt got fooled by someone.

Interesting take, but I'd think more logical would be that

A) ABC reporter went on 'phishing' expedition with the WH communication director

B) ABC in prep of this 'expected' to run it on their nightly newscast, and someone in the studio was the '2nd source'

C) The 'first source' was the WH communications director who notified drudge of the phishing attempt in the 1st place

D) WHILE the reporter was returning 'empty handed' DRUDGE posted the story

E) Later DRUDGE found they didn't run with it and either the WH tricked him, or ABC was denying they ever went 'phishing' and tried to pull the link

F) Saw references to it here and direct links still hitting the URL and re-posted it to at least get 'honesty points'

G) ABC will continue to deny they ever went phishing, WH will not put the original source out to refute ABC lying about their involvement (ABC knows this and so are confident in their 'denial') -- Also possible the reporter was on their own or 'sub-contracting' with raw story on it. Thats my theoretical timeline
