Now that the release of the Mueller report and Mitt Romney’s response has made it a necessity, New York Times White House reporter Maggie Haberman has, years after assisting Dems and other journos in mocking Romney’s warning about Russia in order to protect Obama, said she regrets not giving “more weight” to what Romney said.

And only now that’s it’s required for maximization of the current anti-Trump Resistance narrative, Ronan Farrow has joined the parade:
I’ll join this mea culpa. I aired interviews with Romney where I completely failed to grasp how prescient he was being about Russia. https://t.co/LVXewv2pOP

The profession that often pats itself on the back for speaking “truth to power” sure is having a sudden journalist awakening almost seven years later.

Yes how is it he missed Romney’s warnings about Russia. pic.twitter.com/P3FdrWfqke

It only took 7 years and ( more importantly ) Romney aiming his fire at one of their political enemies for them to admit this.

They’re nothing if not predictable.
What a completely disingenuous pile of crap.

Everyone who piled on Romney in 2012 got exactly what they wanted from it, so of course now it's easy to say "Sorry for painting a presidential candidate as naive during a crucial stretch. Oops." https://t.co/WZv3czRDbS

Do you remember the press high-fiving each other over Obama debate zingers? I sure do.

You journalists were too busy calling him an elitist snob and an out-of-touch moron to protect Obama or bother to do your jobs. Now that he's no longer a threat to Democrats you love him. https://t.co/l0SSbpkH72
