I understand that, but the reason for the retraction was that he mentioned Aaron Rich. To make Aaron Rich happy, he had to retract the part about his brother too.
corsi clearly states that he had no "independent factual knowledge" about either brother. the original claim was BS that got repeated in an echo chamber and forced retractions from most of those outlets.

That doesn't mean the claim was false. It just means Corsi didn't have "independent knowledge", i.e., he was repeating what someone else said, and when you get sued that ain't much of a defense. Seymour Hersh, however, said it *was* Seth Rich, and that fits the other facts as we know them.
The Late, Not-So-Great Mueller Investigation
By Victor Davis Hanson
March 26, 2019 6:30 AM
Victor Davis Hanson is always good with his perspective.
In the end, Mueller’s investigation really did prove to be a witch hunt, just as half the country came to conclude. It has probably forever ended the idea that a special prosecutor can be useful or fair. It has curtailed foreign-policy options and prevented the traditional American realist approach to Russia as a triangulating counterweight to China. It ruined the lives of innocents such as Carter Page and the reputations of dozens of others such as General Michael Flynn. It divided the country in its transparent violation of any sense of disinterested investigation and turned the idea of American jurisprudence into a version of the Soviets’ “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.” And now that it is over, we should not forget what it wrought and those who empowered it.
Ah, ye of almost the same name. Victor Davis Hanson is a great historian and writer. Always a pleasure to read his articles and this was one of his best. Thanks for posting it. Although he was teaching at CSUF back when I was attending, I never had the honor taking one of his classes...my loss. I'll bet they were really interesting.
Barr said that he and special counsel Mueller would redact information that falls into the following categories.
Material subject to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure (6e) that cannot be made public.
Material the intelligence community identifies as potentially compromising sensitive sources and methods.
Material that could affect other ongoing matters, including those that the special counsel has referred to other Department offices.
Information that would unduly infringe on the personal privacy and reputational interests of peripheral third parties.
Although the President would have the right to assert privilege over certain parts of the report, he has stated publicly that he intends to defer to me, and, accordingly, there are no plans to submit the report to the White House for a privilege review.
This is all a joke. it's a shame Barr is bending to any of this. Mueller and Barr are both congressionally approved. A summary of their conclusions should be good enough, especially if that's the way that is how this has always been conducted. if I were him, I wouldn't show the Dems jack. let them force the issue through the courts, I'm sure they wouldn't win.
But who didn't see this coming; the Dems are already setting up another trap. Once he releases the redacted report, they wn't get what they want...and the Dems will claim that there's "too much redaction" to create further doubt and then the debate will start over what qualifies as a redaction
They want to keep this circus running until the balloons are fully deflated.
