Mother Jones, the left-wing magazine that released a controversial video of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's remarks to a fundraiser in May, now admits that it has no full tape of what Romney said, and that its video is missing "one to two minutes" at the most important moment.
The Legal Insurrection blog's William Jacobson and The Blaze both raised questions on Tuesday about whether Mother Jones had, as promised, revealed the full video, given an apparent jump cut in the critical section of Romney's remarks.
"Something is missing. Romney’s 47% answer was cut off before completed, and is not picked up on the Part 2 audio video," Jacobson noted.
Late Tuesday evening, Jacobson obtained the following comment from David Corn of Mother Jones:
According to the source, the recording device inadvertently turned off. The source noticed this quickly and turned it back one [sic]. The source estimates that one to two minutes, maybe less, of recording was missed.
Corn was forced to update his original post, which promised the "full" video, to reflect the fact that a key portion of the video is, in fact, missing.
There is no way to know, without the missing footage, exactly what Romney said. On Monday evening, Romney called for a complete video of his remarks to be released.
That now turns out to be impossible, either because Romney's remarks were never recorded in full (as Mother Jones now claims), or because some of his remarks--perhaps mitigating some of the controversial effect of his statements--were selectively edited out of the tape by Mother Jones or its chain of sources (including former President Jimmy Carter's grandson).

“were selectively edited out of the tape by Mother Jones or its chain of sources (including former President Jimmy Carter’s grandson).”
So, Jimmah Carter’s grandson was part of a felony.
Last night there were a couple of threads which addressed FL law regarding illegal videotaping and it would seem that what was done MAY have violated that law.
I don’t know that there were signs or oral notices at the event.
Who taped this?
Nixon’s secretary Rosemary Woods?
Mother Jones has posted the entire transcript of what Romney said, including the part that was “accidentally” erased. Claiming they wrote it down before it was erased.
Jimmy Carter, along with his grandson, are missing a few brain cells.
And the liberals are just as stupid as Nixon using the contortionist excuse.
The Romney Camp needs to ride this horse until it falls down.
Maybe it was doctored by that moronic grandson of Jimmy Carter, who is making the rounds on TV claiming to have “discovered” the Romney tape. This boy’s elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top. He’s 35 and still hanging out in his mom’s basement, gazing at the Obama poster over his bed, on the internet 24/7, trying to catch a Republican making a faux pas!
Why doesn’t he get a job? He’s one of the 47% that Mitt was talking about!
Don’t foh-get yo’ bling, girl. A girl gots ta have lots of bling.
Digital video recording doesn’t “continue”, it STOPS followed by the start of a separate recording. Someone deliberately put the two segments together. This isn’t analog videotape where the recording just keeps going, flowing from one segment into another.
Excellent point.
...you'd think that if the recording device was "re-started"...
...it might have moved just a little?...
“Do you know how much tattoos and acrylic nails and hair extensions and cell phones with data plans cost?
Forget bread on the table. I gots to get new rimz. The onez that spinz.”
LOL! You are so right.
And don’t forget the liquor, lottery tickets and street drugs.
I’d say Romney’s chance of winning these grifters over is extremely slim. ;-) Fortunately, many of them never find their way to the voting booth.
The inclusion of the continuation of the sentence, where he would say "and for all those who have become un-employed due to This Administration's Policies; we need to get them off the public dole, and back on the Payrolls of private businesses"
NIXON DID IT!
Trusting David Corn is like trusting Joseph Goebbels.
Trusting “Mother Jones” is like trusting Tass, Pravda, Izvestia and the Peking Daily News and Nhan Dan.
My feeling from the beginning (once it became clear that Romney
would be the nominee) was that Mitt, a decent guy, probably had
little idea of just how relentlessly cynical and dishonest the
Obama/MSM onslaught against him would be: he’s got a taste of it
now, and I dearly hope it lights a fire in him, and he becomes a
more forceful and tougher candidate in the next 7 weeks.
What this means is NO MORE appearances on Kelly Ripa and Michael
Strahan early morning TV shows (though that one went very well)
and ABOVE ALL, no more wasting time submitting yourself to these
supposedly all-important screenings by ANYONE from the MSM, just
to prove you’re a nice guy and have a substantial program and
plan for America.GO DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE instead, and
OVER-PREPARE for the debates, because Obama truly doesn’t know
how to handle a real debate, and anyone reasonable well-prepared
will make him look like the fool he is.
So you’re suggesting Mother JOnes may have learned
well from Breitbart.
