A spokeswoman for the Associated Press admitted to Breitbart News on Saturday that the organization does not, despite previously reporting in two different pieces that it did, have any “geolocation data” to back up its smear piece about Ohio Senate candidate Bernie Moreno.
“Beyond the work email, the profile lists Moreno’s correct date of birth, while geolocation data indicates that the account was set up for use in a part of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where property records show Moreno’s parents owned a home at the time,” Slodysko, the AP reporter, and the AP’s Aaron Kessler wrote insays that “geolocation” means: “the process of determining the location of an electronic device, as a computer, cell phone, satellite, etc.
Instead, Easton actually sent a tweet thread from the founder of Adult Friend Finder in which he explains that in 2008 when the account in question was created, the only location data that would be associated with it is a “lookup table” that matched the zip code the person who created the account provided “to map it to latitude and longitude.”
As the founder and someone who wrote most of the early code of Adult Friend Finder, I want to make a short statement on Ohio senator candidate Bernie Moreno's alleged 2008 connection to the site.The Moreno team’s version of events, which the AP cast serious doubt on, is that a man interning for Moreno back in 2008 created the profile as a prank.
In a follow-up inquiry to both Pace and Easton, Breitbart News informed Easton that multiple sources familiar with the matter said that Pace was taking over all communications and dealings on this matter from the original reporter, Slodysko, given the likelihood of serious litigation looming. Moreno has hired Charles Harder as one of his attorneys. Harder is the attorney who led the lawsuits that led to the downfall of Gawker.
