J.P.,
As you note, Fund stands by his reporting…. so, the key thing is, McCain told York today that he did not “ever” draw any distinction between Alito and Roberts (“No, no, of course not.”) That is a categorical denial. As I trust Fund’s reporting entirely, what this means is that even if McCain said “might,” that does not come close to squaring with his categorical denial today of having ever said such a thing…. which means that what McCain said today to York was another lie. Straight talk, my rear end.
