CNN did not verify the source last night. Cohen's attorney Lanny Davis denied last night that he was the source. The story was planted as strategy to damage Cohen.

Therefore, posts that parrot the CNN error should be amended or pulled. Accurate reporting is important.

And what's with the gratuitous insult? You know nothing about me. If you knew my history here (an old-timer recently returned) you may have not felt so free to attack me.
