Mueller team disputes BuzzFeed report claiming Trump told Cohen to lie
Fox ^ | 1/18/19 | Alex Pappas

Posted on 01/18/2019 4:51:25 PM PST by traderrob6

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office on Friday issued a rare statement disputing a bombshell news report claiming President Trump directed Michael Cohen to lie about the timing of discussions over a proposed Trump Tower project 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,” Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mueller’s office, said Friday.

As Mark Levin said, the only possible source of the leak to BuzzFeed is Mueller’s office. It’s happened before. So they REALLY don’t want an investigation of how BuzzFeed got the fake story.

You're right it was disgusting!

Here in Oz the media have been blathering all day about Trump...."telling his lawyer to lie"...no...'It's been alleged'or 'Trump's been accused off'...no it's simply been....He did it.

Bastards!

My poor missus had to leave the room I wanted to put an axe through the tv.

that is certainly one way to look at it.
Seems Mueller’s team could have just simply said: “It’s all not true”.
Instead, they seemed to have chose their words very carefully.

The RATs are in a feeding frenzy and there is no blood in the water.
I’m guessing the Mueller statement will be ignored by the rabids.

Schiff has already said he will take it up in investigation.
If he does, Mueller’s statement was ignored.

Course, there are now rumblings Cohen is going to back out of his 2/7/2019 appearance before Congress.

In all my life I could never imagine seeing anything like all this...trying to gut the POTUS.
Oh well, back to the snow.

FreeRegards.

Every thing in DC is somehow involved in 'getting Trump'. Democrats don't govern anymore....they're to busy 'getting Trump'.

I've never seen anything like it either.

Nobody with half a brain will ever believe a thing they report EVER again.

So every liberal will still believe BuzzFeed. Got it.

along your line of thinking...though consider the source

THen again maybe Bueller didn’t want people to realize how much other damaging information he had. For example, what did he actually collect when Cohen’s house was entered and items seized?

“That’s a hell of a rebuke. What is going on here?”

There’s a new sheriff in town and his name is Bill Barr.
This is all about him and the standard of professionalism. No more BS.

My test on Mueller came and went when he made that idiotic presentation on indicted Russians he’ll net see in the U. S. again.

If he had anything on Trump he would have said so.

This will wrap up clearing but slandering Trump.

Trump is the new Indiana Jones!

Every time the media tells us that “the walls are closing in” on Trump......he manages to escape certain destruction!

LOL

If that’s the clip about BM (appropriate) having to answer to Barr, I saw that and was encouraged. Until then I was very skeptical about Barr.

Bob Barr had to say what he had to say in front of the Senate committee. Kabuki dance until you get in. What this tells us though is that Sessions was either compromised or he was an agent of the deep state, one way or the other. Mueller was running the DOJ for nearly the past two years as he tried to be the FBI head again after Comey was fired, remember he and Rosenstein went up to Trump in Oval Office to asked to be the FBI Director and when Trump said no then the very next day Rod appointed Mueller as SPECIAL Counsel. Mueller did better by running the whole department rather than just the FBI thanks to Sessions
