By truncating the rest of the quoted text you’re further proving my point of the fake news circle jerk. The full quote from the article that you selectively truncated is (emphasis mine):
>> "The White House Coronavirus Task Force was never informed of this contract and was not involved in it at all."
My layman’s reading of “not involved at all” would cover denying recommending the vendor.
- neltnerb 7y agoHow does that not read as saying that they weren't involved in contracting? I don't know why it doesn't look like it to you, but I see lawyer speak, not layman speak.
- ceejayoz 7y agoThe rest of the wording is just as careful, and logically follows from the first part (you can hardly be involved in a contract if you don’t know about it). “We recommended the vendor and put them in touch with NY, then washed our hands of it” fits just fine with the wording there.
