The L.A. Times reported that U.S. Attorney Bud Cummins “feared there was a connection between his firing and an investigation he had conducted”. The thing is, he never said anything like it and in fact has denied the entire basis for the story and ther rampant allegations that flowed from the deception.
“I noted today that you have referenced a LA Times article in which it is suggested that I harbor doubts about a connection between an investigation I conducted in Missouri and my termination as a US Attorney. I am quoted in the article as saying “˜Now I am asking myself-what about the Blunt deal.” It has stimulated about 6 media calls this morning from Missouri. Unfortunately, that isn’t what I said, or at least what I intended to say, and it is not the case.
The context of my conversation with LA Times reporter Richard Serrano was clearly that I do not know of ANY connection between the Missouri investigation (which actually had nothing to do with Governor Blunt) and my termination.” – quote in context
At least the L.A. Times will post a update or a retraction right? Oh, wait – they won’t because they don’t think it’s important.
