It is nice to have some kind of text coverage of the Jones retraction but unfortunately there is absolutely no way any WaPo article on this subject is going to be accurate and true. Just read that first sentence and know that the whole article is a typical WaPo twisting.
conspiracy-loving media personality
“Pizzagate,” the baseless viral story
a Washington pizza restaurant
and the ever present strawman...a child sex-abuse ring run by Hillary Clinton and her campaign chairman, John Podesta

Folks, WaPo does not do anything even slightly resembling legitimate quality journalism.

Just about every sentence in that article, which does contain a hint of fact here and there, is a typical twisting manipulation to make sure no one knows what is actually going on.

Two important points not to be overlooked... loose but clear paraphrases here

AJ said in his retraction video something like 'we have reason to believe the entire Coment Pizza story was a set-up or manipulation from the beginning.' Interesting and may be some truth to it but AJ, of course, did not elaborate.

David Seaman's response to AJ retraction mentioned something like...
"something GOT TO Alex Jones."
and
the timing of AJ's retraction video was strategically aired right before the March 25, Mike Cernovich / David Seaman pedogate protest, today, in D.C.

implying THAT protest / march is what is of real concern to AJ and his handlers.
Another slight problem with Seaman's words was that the implication that 'something very very recently GOT TO the basically legitimate, honest, and good Infowars operation. No, Mr. Seaman, t'aint nothing recent or just happened about this.

I think that Mike Cernovich video, link below as I posted in the burnt pizza thread, tells us more than all of this hullaballoo stuff conveys the most valuable insights I have seen in a long time. Therein, Cernovich speaks about "game theory" and "decision trees, and "strategic planning" to make us look at what is really going on in a whole new way.
