    This is not true and people repeating it are making it more difficult to address very real issues.https://twitter.com/thehill/status/847651696394199040 …

        really? it's a compelling detail - so what is it like to talk to the secretary? is it OK to look him directly in the eyes?

        It's compelling gossip. I have looked him in the eyes and not turned to stone. At least not yet...

        How do you know it's not true?

        Because. Because I have covered State since 1999. Because I know people who didn't start in 2009.

        That means nothing. Do you have sources who say it's not true?

        Isn't it possible that some people were told this and you're unaware of it?

        I would suggest to you that I was told of this allegation - weeks ago - and checked it out.

        Thanks for replying. I asked because, since those who allege it are unidentified, it seems a difficult thing about which to be definitive.

        How can you know what certain unidentified people were told in the last 2 months. May or may not be true, but how can you deny w/ certainty?

        Surely a lawyer would not ask someone to prove a negative...

        You're the one who claims to prove a negative. Say you haven't seen enough proof, not that it's false. Difference in not guilty vs innocent.
