15. Because the FBI sources told them there wasn't?

Reality is that no FBI official would have commented on an ongoing investigation and possibly even purposefuly put out disinformation at the time so as not to tip Trump, the Russians and affect any investigation.

A reporter has to go with what their sources says and they believe to be true. So the reporter and newspaper reported what they believed was true and what they had as information.

So it changed - no surprise there - that happens.

Nate Silver is off the mark there.
