New York Times, WaPo, NBC retract reports about Giuliani's contact with FBI

The New York Times, The Washington Post and NBC News walked back their reporting about FBI's communication with President Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani regarding Russia.

The Washington Post was the first to report on Thursday that Giuliani was warned that he was the target of a Russian influence campaign last year. The newspaper, citing people familiar with the matter, also reported that One America News (OANN) was given similar warning.

But the Post issued a correction on Saturday saying that it removed assertions that Giuliani and OANN had received such warnings.

"An earlier version of this story, published Thursday, incorrectly reported that One America News was warned by the FBI that it was the target of a Russian influence operation," the correction reads.

"That version also said the FBI had provided a similar warning to Rudolph W. Giuliani, which he has since disputed. This version has been corrected to remove assertions that OAN and Giuliani received the warnings," the paper said.

A spokesperson for The Post had no additional comment when reached by CNN.

The New York Times similarly reported on the FBI's contact with Giuliani.

The subject of the Times article was the FBI's investigation into Giuliani and stated that the firing of U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch was at the center of the probe.

The Times had written that Giuliani had received a "formal warning" from the FBI about Russian disinformation.

Russia! Drink! Lol

I’m surprised they felt the need to retract it.

The Russia hoax was amazing (still is), though I don’t think all that many people ultimately fell for it. Their more recent hoaxing has played on fears more pressing than Cold War Era worries about the Rooskies, though that was a good try. The Left knows what buttons to push.

Obama and Hillery screwed the pooch. But no one even wrote about how Putin got the best of them. Of course President Trump understood all this and also understood why Putin invaded Crimea,Obama and Hillary caused it.

Trump drew the line and made Putin stay out of Ukraine. Watch Biden do enough stupid things to invite Pooty to walk into Ukraine unimpeded. Biden does not like Ukraine's present truly Representative government, it is not corrupt enough for Joe. They have the goods on Geriatric Joe and Hunter.

"Are [we]on the threshold of having political dissidents being arrested and held as political prisoners? We have seen this recently with examples, but it seems it is fixing to go to the nuclear level."

True

There are many Trump supporters still in DC jail for being in DC on Jan 6th, most did NOT go in the building

I don't think any of the real rioters, ie antifa, were arrested

Pelosi protects them.

Freeper Fred Nerks also has this perspective. It would make a great book if someone were brave enough to pubkish it. It would sell out over night.

And it would reveal the naive, sophomoric manipulations opf these Alinsky leftists on the world stage. They are truly profoundly challened ideological idiots. Xi of PRC , Putin, Iran, and Kim of North Lorea run rings around these sophomoric idiots like Biden and his fatally flawed sec, state.

*******************************
The left in America detest Russia ever since Putin interfered with Obama’s Arab Spring and made Obama the official Putin Bend Over Boy.And what really mad them mad as hornets is that COnservatives applauded Putin for doing it. The Alinsky left still have not gotten over it.

The facts of this remain pretty much unpublished. Obama and Hillery at State organized destabilization protests throughout the middle East, creating massive numbers of refugees , just like the Dems have in Central America, using Googole, facebook and Yahoo.

These refugees were headed to the Crimea via Turkey when Pooty slammed the door on Obama by invading Crimea to prevent this mass migration of Muslims into Russia.

The Dems are still not over it, these masses of Obama refugees migrated into the soft underbelly of Eastermn Europe instead. Pooty laughed all the way to the bank as he sold gas and oil to Germany and others.

Obama and Hillery screwed the pooch. But no one even wrote about how Putin got the best of them.Of course President Trump understood all this and also understood why Putin invaded Crimea,Obama and Hillary caused it. Trump drew the line and made Putin stay out of Ukraine.Watch Biden do enough stupid things to invite Pooty to walk into Ukraine unimpeded.Biden does not like Ukraine’s present truly representatibe government, it is not corrupt enough for Joe.They have the goods on Geriatric Joe and Hunter.

Spot 0n, imo. Give me Putin any day over Biden and his string-pullers. The Left is using Putin as scapegoat to cover for their nefarious purposes.

Kick Russia Russia Russia! Kiss China China China!

Putin has Biden’s number. Biden,the coward took it on the chin with this ransom-ware shut down of the USA’s east coast pipe line.

Biden almost apologized to Russia that it happened. You know Putin at least was aware of the hack and did nothing to stop it.Yet just a few short months ago the Dem Party blamed RUSSIAM<RUSSIA< RUSSIA for every evil they copuld think of, including the election of president Trump. But today, my, my ;how things have changed!

Putin is going to pown Biden , just like he did Obama.

We need President Trump badly to restore his international policies.
