If you have been watching the talking heads this has been big news for the last two days, they finally got Trump! Impeach!

But wait, just in:

Mueller team disputes BuzzFeed report claiming Trump told Cohen to lie

.

Well, whether the sources here were peddling a false story or not, we already know that Trump suborned perjury, told Cohen to lie for him on occassion. He lied for him concerning the payed off mistresses and the campaign finance law violations. I don't doubt for a second that Trump told Cohen to lie, whether Cohen admitted to that or not is another story. And even if Trump didn't direct him, that was Cohens job, he was the fixer. Who really cares at this point, we already know that Trumps a criminal, a Russian asset, and a traitor to the U.S.

You'll have to click the link to get to the video montage, and note as the article makes clear this was from the nearly instantaneous reaction of the MSM. There was a great deal more as time went on. For instance, the Daily Caller

Those are columnists, and, um, commentators, so it's not really the real media.

That almost sounds defeatist, Jimmy.

That's because you took it out of context, MM.

I assume you are all going to trust Mueller on this one though some of you usually don't put much trust in him. I think he did the right thing btw.

And in order to make sure that no one puts too much or too little into the statement, a central point is:

Yes, that's correct. Mueller's office has said the story is wrong per se, but that it had some inaccuracies.

[Mountain Man]

This is worth repeating...

I am amused by all the delusional snowflakes desperately telling themselves, "It could still be true!"

[Tassman]

Yes, not accurate is not the same as false. Mueller likely very angry if his office is leaking.

It very likely it's not Mueller's office that's leaking; unlike the WH it does not leak. The leak, which Buzz Feed still stands by, very likely came from the federal prosecutors in New York, who have been prosecuting Cohen.

This post should read of course: "Mueller's office has said the story is not wrong per se, but that it had some inaccuracies.

Facts be damned! We don't need no steenkin' evidence. We already "know" what we know.

If that were the case Mueller, who has refused to publicly comment at all about press reports to this point, would have almost certainly continued to remain silent. The fact that he didn't strongly suggests that the story was so far off the mark and eliciting such exuberant reaction in the MSM that he felt a need to quash it.

[rogue06]

This is worth repeating...

These are the same sorta folks circulating bogus Washington Post papers saying that Trump has resigned and being wistfully described by the New Yorker as "the future Americans would like to see."

Not necessarily! Mueller may well have had his reasons for his comment, which may become evident when he releases his final report.

Not! I meant not!

To summarise, POTUS is a terrorist (the shutdown) and you are a Son of Satan (Satan being Dick Cheney).

[Mountain Man]

Not necessarily! Mueller may well have had his reasons for his comment, which may become evident when he releases his final report.

Let's see here: the BuzzFeed reporters openly admitted that they never saw the evidence for themselves, one of the reporters has a long history of telling blatant lies to sell his stories, no other news organizations have been able to confirm the story, and Dirty Cop. Mueller made a rare public statement to quash the rumor.

But despite all of that, it could still be true.

Yeah, ok.
