In a rare move, Mueller’s office denies BuzzFeed (trunc)
Wa Post ^ | 1/18/2019 | Devlin Barrett

Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s office on Friday denied an explosive report by BuzzFeed News that his investigators had gathered evidence showing President Trump directed his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, to lie to Congress about a prospective business deal in Moscow.

“BuzzFeed’s description of specific statements to the special counsel’s office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen’s congressional testimony are not accurate,” said Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mueller.

The statement was remarkable on several levels — first, the special counsel’s office speaks exceedingly rarely, and second, the statement seemed to drive a stake through a sensational allegation that Democratic lawmakers suggested earlier in the day could spell the end of the Trump presidency.

Now, the Talking Heads claim that Mueller never talks, never leaks.

Strzok was on his team. The author here in this thread for WAPO was all thru the texts of Strzok and Page, and he would call them on their personal numbers.

Look at the timing of every Mueller Indictment.

And how ‘bout those missing orders from Judges admonishing Andrew Weismann? They are missing! Not sealed, missing!

Strzok said under oath he’s never been on an Investigation that led to the Indictment of a Democrat. How is it Mueller assembled all these rabid Trump Haters.

How about because it wasn’t accurate?

Note the difference bewteen “not accurate” and “false”.

1 I think Mueller report is close to the end
2. Making Barr the AG is going to make Mueller be extremely careful of his reports accuracy
3. Even Mueller knows the Dems are getting very dangerous.

That’s the only way this happened, involvement from acting Whitaker.

Unfortunately, he’ll be gone soon.

For CNN this changes nothing. Trump is a pig, a lying filthy pig and Anderson Blooper and his “panel” all agree Mueller is trying to hide the smoking gun that’ll destroy Trump. 24/7 Trump derangement syndrome. It never changes with these fake news asses. They’ve already went back to the Giuliani story. Ignore any and all reports from Mueller. Anderson Blooper and Miss Donna Lemon are America’s anchormen and the only purveyors of truth in America.

If Mueller allowed this fake story to build as Dems were demanding answers so that they could formally start impeachment procedures and Mueller sat on it until he turned in his report with nothing to show for Cohen saying that Trump told him to lie then the Dems and media would be in complete meltdown and letdown! Mueller team have been recently throwing out balloons that people shouldn’t expect much from the report to get them ready. Plus Whitaker probably already went through what Mueller has and told them to knock it down

The Democrats will quietly scotch plans to hear Cohen.

Republicans are going to point out Mueller is on record as saying anything he would say isn’t true.

The Democrats would have to take the word of a serial liar and convicted felon over Mueller.

Schadenfreude! All the talk of impeachment has fizzled.

Mark Levin said tonight there had to be a leak from the Special Councils office. If this was fed to them from the WH and they have the goods on the SC. Mueller may be trying to save his or some of his staffs ass.

“Mark Levin said tonight there had to be a leak from the Special Councils office”

I agree with Mark. Buzz Feed is standing by their story, too.

The mueller coup vs BuzzFeed. Let the games begin.

Nice of someone to interview Justin Bieber with his new darker hair.

The Networks started reporting, the Special Counsel’s Office would not confirm, but we are not being steered off the story.

That became part of the story.

Acting AG caught whiff. Dollars to donuts.
