Alvin the Chipmunk Schlozman: What I Really Meant Was...

Uh huh...

From TPMmuckraker:

In a letter to Senate Judiciary Chairman Pat Leahy (D-VT) last night, Bradley Schlozman wrote to "clarify" his testimony before the committee last night.

Now Schlozman is changing his story:

As required by Section 9-85.210 of the U.S. Attorney's Manual, at my direction, the Assistant United States Attorney assigned to the case consulted with the Election Crimes Branch prior to the filing of the indictments. I want to be clear that, while I relied on the consultation with, and suggestions of, the Election Crimes Branch in bringing the indictments when I did, I take full responsibility for the decision to move forward with the prosecutions related to ACORN while I was the interim U.S. Attorney.

In other words, somehow, some way, Schlozman was able to get a green light for the indictments.
