Released messages document how Mueller’s spokesman took dozens of meetings with reporters over three months in 2017.
Reporters from nearly every major media outlet have been jockeying for influence and favoritism within the special counsel’s office.
One awkward exchange illustrates a reporter from CNN trashing an article written by White House correspondent Jim Acosta.
Hundreds of pages of emails and text messages released from the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) special counsel’s office through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request show an ongoing relationship between Robert
Mueller’s team and the press, according to an investigation by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
The documents, released in September, span months of communication and include messages from reporters ranging from a variety of outlets, including TheDCNF, The Washington Post and BuzzFeed.
While the vast majority of correspondences between Mueller’s spokesman Peter Carr and a variety of journalists ends with a “no comment,” the messages expose Mueller’s team was willing to meet with a number of reporters in private meetings and over the phone.
Coordinating such meetings cuts against the narrative that the special counsel has been hesitant to give information to the press, instead opting to give information only through public announcements and statements.

Sometimes it appears that the press literally has an office inside the Mueller “investigation”. Friendly reporters are kept well informed and provided with an endless stream of information in exchange for their services to Mueller.
Mueller’s cozy relationship with the press is, in actuality, a form of government paid subsidy as it gives the media stories which in turn generates publication revenues for them.
So this arrangement is not only and information scandal, it is also a FINANCIAL SCANDAL.
Wonder how much it cost the tax payers to fund mueller’s quest to get this President?!
It never was about anything but that mueller wanted to be the one to get him. That bunch of rats were so entrenched, they didn’t blink about ousting a newby.. the cost did not matter.
It might have been enough to pay for that wall!
I still hope there are cuffs with his and the others’ name on them.. it’s only fitting.
No doubt in my mind that the Mueller team was leaking information to the press in order to try and persuade public opinion.
