Just want to post this apology from the PAC a bunch of people had seen question my ethics earlier tonight. My word is important to me, and I don’t like people thinking that I break it, because I don’t. — PolitiTweet.org

OK, I’m glad we’ve arrived at the part where the gentleman concedes he unilaterally declared off the record with this new email I hadn’t requested. (And that, again, I haven’t published!) Sorry for the never-ending thread, but the concession is important to me after the attack. https://t.co/RJAdjlqxyx — PolitiTweet.org

In summary, a super PAC is attempting to discredit me, mid-reporting, for violating an off-the-record agreement that was never an agreement and that was about material I never published and have no plans to publish. I am going to bed. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Here’s how it works: I asked some questions off record and some questions on. Then, after saying he was done commenting, he sent me an unsolicited email labeled “off the record.” I hadn’t consented, so it wasn’t off the record…*but I still never published it,* just verified it! — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

This is all so bizarre. I said I never agreed this particular thing was off the record because that’s true. I said my superiors would laugh off this complaint because that’s true. I chuckled reflexively because this is all so bizarre. The reporting continues! The end the end. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

1) I’m keeping everything I agreed to keep off l record off record! Hadn’t agreed on that one thing. 2) If you think this tape, in which I try to explain how “off record” works and chuckle for a moment and the man says “fuck you,” makes meee look bad, I don’t know what to tell ya — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

I’ll add that the email from the other reporter did not prove the PAC’s claims or something; was pretty unremarkable. But it’s highly unusual to be sent another reporter’s email as supposed evidence of some sort, so I reached out to the reporter to ask what the deal was. The end. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

The other reporter then, according to the PAC, expressed displeasure to the PAC that it’d passed along their email to another outlet - prompting the PAC, in turn, to express displeasure at me. But I’d simply tried to verify an email, which is my job, and didn’t do anything wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

I never made an “off the record” agreement over this other reporter’s email, which was sent to me unsolicited. But also…I never published the unsolicited email! I simply asked a follow reporter if the email the PAC had sent me was a real email this reporter had sent the PAC. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Wrong. What actually happened: The super PAC sent me, unsolicited, an email that a reporter from another outlet had sent the super PAC. They declared this was “off the record”; I’d never agreed to that. I simply reached out to the other reporter to confirm the email was real. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Mehmet Oz claimed in two Fox appearances that “all” his former primary competitors have endorsed him. False. Kathy Barnette tells me “no, I have not endorsed Oz. He knows that” — and that while she may end up doing so, she has “a lot of issues with Oz”: https://t.co/AdIykBy5Hy — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s a compendium of how Trump’s own people, at the White House, Justice Department and his campaign, rejected both his vague and specific lies about the 2020 election. I plan to update it as we get more testimony. https://t.co/XVEiZyX5xx — PolitiTweet.org

The nonexistent Atlanta suitcase. The nonexistent truck of Pennsylvania ballots. The nonexistent Dominion conspiracy. The nonexistent 36,000 illegal Arizona voters. Here’s a list of 10 Trump election lies Trump’s own officials have rejected in testimony: https://t.co/XVEiZzeGp5 — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump crew is still repeating the absolute stupidest, most easily debunked of the 2020 lies. (Wisconsin has about 4.5M adults and about 3.5M active registered voters; it's only "7.1 million" if you count inactives, like voters who died or moved away.) https://t.co/FSuzouDKzM — PolitiTweet.org

Laxalt played a significant role in Trump's effort to overturn his Nevada defeat in 2020, falsely pronouncing the state's outcome "rigged" and making a bunch of more specific false claims. https://t.co/hVhodPf5yP — PolitiTweet.org
