Well Fuck, Mueller disputes BuzzFeed Story...

[jodymarie aimee]

says it's not accurate...

[madaboutharry]

1. Not accurate is not the same as false.

The underlying claim can be true while some of the other assertions are not accurate.

This is the way lawyers talk.

[oberliner]

7. Yes, it is

[Recursion]

17. Yes it fucking is

OMG this is is May 2006 all over again

[MontanaMama]

2. Only part of it...

The part referencing the Special Counsel’s office. He did not dispute any part of MF45 instructing Cohen to lie. I thinks it’s okay!

3. As in, not correct in all details

[oberliner]

9. Wow - people are really grasping here

[triron]

10. Maybe it's you.

13. I am taking the statement from the Mueller spokesperson at face value

Seems pretty significant since they don't usually issue statements.

18. For some of us it's not our first rodeo

with Jason Leopold. MSM should have thought long and hard before running with this story. Congress needs to influence Mueller to come forth with what he actually does have. I'm worried this investigation could continue into perpetuity. Like a second term where we are all encouraged to start learning Russian. I'm worried that he doesn't actually have anything on 45. Good lord.

4. I'd say maybe s few minor details are wrong...

But we know tRump requested him to lie to Congress.

[gldstwmn]

5. This is not the first time we've been

Fucked by Leopold. Jesus.

6. Mueller?

He never says anything

[musicblind]

8. Here is the exact wording, per CNN:

"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 special counsel spokesman Peter Carr in a statement.

Carr's statement is extremely rare. The special counsel's office has almost never commented on published stories.

This is a breaking story and will be updated.

16. For Mueller's office to make a statement-

Sorry, but that’s pretty damning.

People trying to twist themselves into pretzels here trying to believe what they want to believe.

[C_U_L8R]

11. And Cohen didn't say it wasn't true

[gldstwmn]

19. He can't say anything. n/t

[mbusby]

12. Breathe...
