A true journalist/reporter checks information and sources.You are right, she didn't. But we knew that before hand. That's the whole point. She was just reporting what she was told. She never claimed it was going to be the smoking gun. She, like everyone else, myself included, wanted to see it. Okay, we did. And? Nothing! It was a smoke screen. But today, no more smoke screens. Trump is under civil and criminal investigation for multiple financial crimes.
She was a fool for running with it....shot what little credibility she had in the ass.
I bet you were all over the ceiling with Maddow's reporting on all things Trump during His presidency.
Trump was under civil and criminal investigation by the left for everything and anything during His presidency.
Your hero's failed miserably then and most likely will, again.
