ABC News corrects bombshell Flynn report
CNN ^

Posted on 12/01/2017 7:01:22 PM PST by TigerClaws

ABC News on Friday evening corrected an explosive special report that aired in the morning saying that Donald Trump, as a candidate for president, had asked Michael Flynn to make contact with Russians.

During "World News Tonight," ABC News investigative reporter Brian Ross said the source who had provided the initial information for his story later told him that it was as president-elect, not as a candidate, that Trump asked Flynn to contact the Russians.

The initial report, based on one anonymous source, prompted a dramatic reaction in the financial markets, and the Dow fell more than 350 points. Stocks largely recovered later in the day.

"Hands up, don't shoot!"

ABC's original story will be remembered as the truth.

Stock scam by network schemers? Maybe a stock put?

EZ money for those in the know?

Why am I always the last in on these deals?

ABC-Soros did this to destroy the stock market
as Soros and the ABC high command shorted the market.

ABC must lose their license.

Time for a mega class action suit. Fake news has gotten totally out of control and broadcasting licenses must be revoked.

What am I missing here? I would expect the President Elect to reach out to the Russians, the Greeks, The Burmese or the freaking Lost Dindu Tribe in Africa!

The charges are not talking to the Russia, or collusion, or any illegal activity.

The charge is that Flynn lied (misspoke, got factual information incorrect) to the FBI about two conversations he’d had with Russians. Two charges; two conversations.

But, if you read carefully, this is about Flynn firewalling his son. He took the hit to save his son from prosecution.

It’s a nothingburger.

Who cares about TODAY? The U.S. stock market had the best week of 2017 even with today’s decline.
