In a rare move, Mueller’s office denies BuzzFeed (trunc)

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.

How nice of Mueller. News and political shows have had all day to fester. The late night comics have already taped tonight’s shows. A monster storm will focus attention elsewhere until Monday. Once again, a lie goes around the world while the truth gets its boots on.

Perhaps it was an intentional fake-news leak from the WH, intended to catch the leakers and embarrass the Enemedia.

I dont think Trump himself could have issued a statement, he waited for Mueller to do it for him, he was NEVER worried he knew this “story” was horse poo..now he’s tweeting up a storm, retweeting people who said “Told you this was nonsense”
