The lede strongly implies that Brazile claims she had the power to remove and replace on her own, but this change is a substantial walkback.
Quotes in the piece suggest that Brazile does say she had the power to remove Clinton/Kaine on her own. This correction doesn't change that.
But the piece's initial suggestion that Brazile says she could have swapped Biden/Booker for Clinton/Kaine by fiat seems to have been wrong.
(And now I'm *really* interested in finding out whether the piece botched the Seth Rich angle too.)
Here's another change. "Using her powers…to initiate the removal" becomes "using her powers…to initiate the process of removing."pic.twitter.com/ofKWevi3R7
Still no editor's note. Still no change to the (false) headline. This article is a botch job.
So at 7:19 pm WaPo edited the story to add a half dozen refutations of ancilliary points by Clinton staffers. No editor's note yet.
At 8:08 they added more Clinton campaign cold water, and walked back the lede to match the walkback from the early afternoon.
Just why. Seriously, after all that happened in 2016/2017, why are they not more careful. OMFG.
