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

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.

“Doesn’t matter. The damage is done and now the fake but accurate media will immediately make up something new.”

Winner. That was the point of the leak—to get the real news off the ‘front pages’

Now, the mueller coup denies any knowledge of the leak.

Interesting because: Senators confirming Barr yesterday specifically asked if this would be a crime. He said yes. They knew what was coming.

Mueller had Cohen's testimony long ago and knew he had nothing and probably leaked to ABC's Jonathon Karl on Sunday to tampen down expectations. "Anti-climatic"

Anti-climatic would not be leaked if this Cohen story was substantiated. Palace intrigue.

Mueller knows Barr will shut him down and expose his cabal if he lets this go.

It’d be funny if next week it is reported Weissman will be leaving the Special Council. Of course to spend more time with his family . .. of vipers.

There’s fake news and then there’s this story. This came from the mueller coup, imo.

You know how easy it is to sell a used car to these poor gullible libs? But it’s so much fun. Lucy has pulled the football once again and Charlie Brown is about to fall flat on his ass.

I don’t give a flyin’ fig if President Trump did tell him to lie.

Only a bunch of juvenile delinquents would care about it.

And I don’t believe any of it anyway.

The benefit Trump gets from this is that yet another “bombshell” story turns out to be a dud. In other words, the media machine is crying “Wolf” one too many times, people outside the Democratic party start discounting whatever they say and if there is finally a leak with some truth in it (hopefully not), its impact will be less bc most of us will be wondering if it is yet another media-manufactured lie.

Spot on....this Cohen story was followed by only a few minutes/hours by the evidence that Ohr's communications prove the FBI is corrupted. There has been a consistent pattern: bad FBI news buried by another fake news Trump accusation.

Deep State will not win this one.

This Cohen story struck me as trouble for DJT, but quick reflection told me it was another Wolf cry which we've learned to ignore...so I did.

The fact that Barr is buddies with Mueller and Trump STILL picked him tells me everything I need to know..I knew the story was bogus

Exactly. I have read that Trump knew Barr was friends with Mueller and still picked him. Joe DiGenova and Victoria Toensing are all-in for Barr. A good sign.

Just a sometimes lurker here anymore. Nice to see you here.

Apparently Buzz Feed is standing by their story. Maybe they’ll drop their source from the special counsel.

This may get good...

The fake wolf cries seem to be penetrating mainstream. Camerota on CNN who broke the story was even sceptical.

The media is jumping on literally every single thing they can find against Trump, without any type of verification.

They are doing incredible self-harm to their own profession’s credibility.

I included the Mueller statement in my post. Is there more to the statement ?

No where in there does it say what the headline says.

Mueller statement is somewhat too general.
Base on Mueller’s statement, is the whole BuzzFeed article crap ? or parts of it ? or...

BuzzFeed updated their story to include Mueller’s statement, but they aren’t backin off of it.
The RATs aint gunna let go of this any time soon and I’m guessing Buzzfeed was punked.

The story is extremely serious and will surely lead to Trump’s impeachment IF TRUE......oops, it is not true.
