Yes, that is how anonymous sources work. Obiwan's description is accurate. One thing we have learned since that last election is that an anonymous source is almost certain to be a liar.That is not how anonymous sources workYou know, a rational person would realize that if someone publishes an accusation and none of the "witnesses" want their name attached to it, it's horseshit...
They are trying to protect themselves from retribution
Trump is well known for his retribution.
If multiple anonymous witnesses tell the same story.....the story has credibility.
Now, Trump is known to lie repeatedly.
He has zero credibility.
Let the voters decide
This is why REAL journalists never run stories on the basis of just anonymous sources. That's why other journalists are calling this shameful. They teach you this shit in first-year journalism school: you get at least one person to speak on the record and verify your story, or you don't run the story.
