A September 2016 email sent to senior Trump campaign officials directed them to documents that had already been publicly released by WikiLeaks, per The Washington Post. Initial reporting on the email this morning from CNN said the email was sent on September 4 — WaPo reports that it was actually September 14 — and left it an open question whether the documents had been previously released.
Why it matters: WaPo's reporting massively changes the significance of this story, indicating that the sender — a still unknown "Michael J. Erickson" — might have just been trying to alert Trump campaign officials to the publicly available WikiLeaks cache. It caps off a week of huge reporting blunders on the Russia probe after ABC News mischaracterized Michael Flynn's planned testimony and Reuters and Bloomberg misreported the target of a Mueller subpoena of Deutsche Bank.

“walks back” = got caught in a lie.
MORE FAKE NEWS
What’s the point of these people using “sources”? They’re just making this s**t up on the fly anyways!
Rush was beating the snot over CNN this afternoon.
Must have worked.
Love Instapundts’s comment on this: “CNN. Endless series of clowns stepping on rakes.”
Some random Trump supporter sends link to public link to documents that Wikileaks released,
PROOF COLLUSION! LOL
1. Moore yearbook attribution
2. Nunes classified information allegations
3. Entire Russia Dossier
4. Numerous "hate crime" hoaxes
5. Wikileaks offered unreleased documents to Trump campaign
6. Trump bank records subpoenaed
There has to be some sort of psychological explanation for their desire to believe things that aren't true.
BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Well you forgot the big one, they also believe that they can get Marxism right.
It is getting tougher and tougher to track all of this fake news. You need to assume it is all fake, so you need to wait a few news cycles to get to some form of truth. The press is making the ‘Freedom of the Press’ a joke.. .they should not be free to lie then act like their freedoms are impinged when caught..
Brian Ross II. BTW the russians did give the espeonage act violating emails to WIKILEAKS!! Assange today bet CNN $100,000 that they have no proof they did . It is a lie. It was not even a hack— It was a LEAK!!!and the leaker may have been murdered.
My OSX update inserted news notifications from CNN without my permission. I had to search all over the web to find out how to delete this intrusion. They must be desperate.
The Clintonistas conspired with the FBI/DOJ (Strzok) to cook up the Russian collusion business after Tony Podesta had Seth Rich murdered for leaking the DNC emails.
Unlike CNN’s efforts, that's a story that has yet to be disproven.
When you drive 100 mph trying to bring down the POTUS, facts be damned.
It’s a smear job...intentionally done.
We need a new law. That any MSM news report found to be fake needs to be corrected and that correction put on there front page.
