Apparently the Head of the FBI can say anything and retract it without any issues.
His statements have been walked back more than once in the last two days. This would not have slid by before this administration. The pass they are given is like a permanent get out of jail free card.
So If I were a member of the cabinet right now, you would of course know that somehow, magically I had turned into a lying sack of dung. But I could also get by with declaring that the shooter was a trained libtard dolphin that had escaped.

I would probably have to retract my statement in an hour, since Utah is land locked, but I would still be able to get on Fox News and talk as if I were a respectable and sane person. Apart from the fact that I was talking on Fox News. Only Pete Buttigieg can talk on Fox and remain an intelligent human. He has super powers. Probably a mystic power obtained from the Maltese Illuminati.
