That totally garbage hit piece on Leif Olson accusing him of anti-Semitic Facebook posts has finally been retracted by Bloomberg Law:
Bloomberg Law has retracted it’s faulty article on Leif Olson: “In reporting on a series of social media posts from [Olson], we failed to meet our editorial standards for fairness and accuracy. We regret that lapse and apologize to our readers and to Mr. Olson.”
