So which are you going to cling to: his first broadcast that day where he got EVERYTHING in it wrong or his second broadcast that day on the NBC Nightly News in which he apologized for his first broadcast in which he got everything wrong.
Which of those two do you think Pete stands by???
I'm not clinging to anything. I'm open-minded.
I do know that Pete Williams is a highly respected former Pentagon spokesman who I listened to quite a lot when he had that position.
I believe that he talked to a couple of federal officials and state officials just like he said. Whether they changed their story later when pressure was put on them or if Peter Williams misunderstood, I don't know, or if there was pressure put on Pete Williams.
There has been a pattern of disinformation in this case that I've never seen before.
They said that she took Adam to the gun range, but two newspapers looked into the story and couldn't find any place she took him to. Just one incident after another. Some newspapers said that the police said all her guns were registered. Time Magazine said they couldn't find that she had a gun license, which is the law in Connecticut for handguns even if in the house. And no I don't know how thorough a job, Time Mag did, but it's just been one discrepancy after another.
And the fact that they sealed the records doesn't help.
