This is what we have been informed, and we wanted to see whether there was any sort of comment that could be provided. If you wanted to steer us away and say that we are misinformed, then I would gladly accept that as well. But we have solid reason to believe this. We'd welcome any comment you can offer. Thanks very much. Eric Associated Press reporter says he knows it's true, but will gladly print that it's false What's truly astonishing in this email is how AP reporter Eric Tucker says he will gladly LIE to cover for the Clintons. In plain English, he explains that he has "solid reason" to believe the report about the thumb drive, but he will gladly publish a false narrative via the Associated Press, and he even suggests what that false narrative should be: "If you wanted to steer us away and say that we are misinformed, then I would gladly accept that as well." In other words, he's not just corrupt, dishonest and fraudulent as a journalist, he's also SUGGESTING the false narrative the Clintons should use! ;
