I have never understood the practice of making 'off the record' comments. These politicians work for the American people. ANY THING THEY SAY TO REPORTERS SHOULD BE PUBLIC RECORD PERIOD. This is not a gossip session. Why do "on background" that can't be attributed to people.

OP
There is absolutely NO evidence that Bloomberg violated the 'off the record' agreement.

He himself confirmed the statement. So, I seriously doubt it was off the record
