Served its purpose. Damage done already. LIV’s negative image of President reinforced.

No need to keep the fake news story around for people to point out.

But CNN will never retract its traitorous head out of its fifth-column leftist keister.

That’s the Demoncrats Specialty (like Depp). Throw out poison, one day later retract it, then all is forgiven by the lamestream media.

That’s exactly right. It’s like releasing a virus. The story gets published. Secondary sources pick it up. Other sites link to those secondary sources. The huge majority of people who read the story never know it’s been retracted.

All by design.

I agree that's what some intend, but judging from all of the losses the dems have taken lately, it doesn't seem to be working on anyone but the most rabid left anymore.

What’s wrong with meeting with a bank representative anyway?

Nothing.

Avoid letting the left set this up as “it’s bad if they met” because it’s meaningless.

The dems think that the Story of The Trump-Russian Connection will be Trump’s Watergate.

I think it will be the dems’ Waterloo.
