Everyone in the establishment media knew BuzzFeed’s report about President Trump suborning perjury from his then-personal attorney, Michael Cohen, was a lie. What they did not expect was special counsel Robert Mueller dropping a fact check on them. They all knew it was a lie.
How could they not?
To begin with, BuzzFeed admitted it could not verify its own story. Secondly, the story made absolutely no sense.
There were two huge tells proving the BuzzFeed story a lie. 1) It made no sense that the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., testified accurately about the very thing Trump reportedly told his lawyer to lie about. 2) BuzzFeed made even less sense with the claim that the special counsel had emails and texts proving the president’s wrongdoing when we all know the president is famous for refusing to use email and texts. And only emails and texts from Trump himself would rise to the level of a smoking gun.
There are seven other reasons everyone knew this story was a lie, including the lead reporter, Jason Leopold’s, history as a liar and fabulist.
How else do we know the media knew it was a lie…?
Well, after the Mueller bomb dropped, here is Jake Tapper suddenly admitting CNN was “quite skeptical” of the story — but only admitting this after the far-left outlet spent all day blasting a story it was “quite skeptical” about to scream IMPEACHMENT.
And here is Meet the Press moderator Chuck –If It’s True — Todd admitting that neither he nor NBC News had any idea if the story was true. Nevertheless, MSNBC spent every minute of the day screaming IMPEACHMENT.

I was about to ask the question you answered. Mueller didn’t speak up for Trump, he spoke to protect his own credibility.
Makes sense to me.
WHAT credibility?
Most everyone, that I know here in South Texas, believes that Mueller’s the “leader” of a coven of WITCH HUNTERS, corrupt government drones & DIMocRAT extremists.

Yes, it’s true. Not credibility, but the feinting of credibility. Another layer of the BIG LIE, but meant to appease the Leftist traitors.
