https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/20/media/buzzfeed-ben-smith-anthony-cormier/index.htmlBuzzFeed says its sources are "standing behind" the bombshell report about the special counsel investigation.
"We're being told to stand our ground. Our reporting is going to be borne out to be accurate, and we're 100% behind it," investigative reporter Anthony Cormier told CNN's Brian Stelter on "Reliable Sources" Sunday.

This is truly a double-down in the blackjack sense, when you double your bet in return for one hit, and that's something a knowledgeable player does when the play offers a greater average return than not doubling down. We don't know how this will turn out, but Buzzfeed is placing a huge bet on a very daring play and this is going to be a very exciting thing to watch.

It's easy to criticize anonymous sources, but they're really more credible than they might seem.

I still think it's possible Don Jr told Cohen to lie, that's what SCO says isn't accurate.
