13. That's why

I'm surprised at the reporting. I knew right away it was off because I had read what Senator Feinstein had said very carefully. And I had compared it to how people interpreted it, claiming it contradicted what Kieth Alexander had said, which I also read carefully. her statement didn't at all contradict his. Unless, of course a reporter writes a contradictory sentence and then sticks a couple of words (which don't support the reporter's point) the person may have said (at any time) in the middle. It's clever but not factual.

I am not saying Nadler didn't say this. I'm not saying he got it wrong if he did say it. But given the issues I mentioned, I will wait for either a statement from him or another news agency to do some original reporting on it - not just referencing this lot - since he has been unavailable for comment, has not tweeted about it, posted on his Congressional page about it or on Facebook.

You might find this interesting. Found this today. It's something I've been telling people to look up. Finally someone has written about it.
