Was it the the threat of a defamation lawsuit that got him? A harsh talking-to from the boss? It can’t have been his conscience. In any event, Lawrence O’Donnell is trying to clean up that “Russian oligarchs” mess he made:
Last night I made an error in judgment by reporting an item about the president’s finances that didn’t go through our rigorous verification and standards process. I shouldn’t have reported it and I was wrong to discuss it on the air. I will address the issue on my show tonight.

Sad!
Buried in the @Lawrence tweet is this contention that @MSNBC has a verification and standards process pic.twitter.com/1uinT0RyPt

Heh.
How many own goals are they going to kick between now and next November? https://t.co/q7wZtqWtAq

The goal is to make it out of this presidency (really, *any* presidency) without it making a maniac out of you. Do better. https://t.co/Dc11XGBqjK

If you're as careless with facts as Trump is, what use are you?

Seriously.
Eff that. MSNBC should pull Lawrence off the air. He likely broke internal safeguards to stop this sort of BS.
