1. And that's why I always say to wait for evidence. /nt

2. Devil's Advocate... "Not (sic fully) Accurate" does not always equate to "Not True"

Apparently the Office of Special Counsel was asked to comment prior to publication and they declined, yet this statement is coming out... ?

BuzzFeed are still standing behind their story right now...

3. Well, that tells us nothing about documents obtained by the...

Southern District of New York

4. K&R

5. Another Jason Leopold disaster

8. You appear very invested in the failure of this story.

I imagine a creative excuse will be made to indicate otherwise.

But then again, I'm "delusional."

And it had been such a pleasant week...

11. It's odd, isn't it.

12. No. Planted fake stories have been in the Republican

playbook for a very long time. I might have the tendency to trust the Washington Post on a story (not the New York Times). I don't trust any other news agency to properly vet these stories. Reporters need to dig to next level. Why would investigators in Mueller's team even leak a story like this. If it didn't come from them, then the same could be said for the SDNY. These kinds of leaks cost investigators jobs as they should.

6. Jason tweeted the same thing with no comment thereafter

7. Killian memo

I called it.

10. Good call

9. It doesn't sound like the reporters sourced from the SC office, there may be differences

between the info they obtained and what Mueller knows/believes
