Mueller issues rare statement disputing buzzfeed report

@Klaxton

Regarding the statement from the special council, I’m inclined to believe a former spokesman for the DOJ that I heard on MSNBC last night that the special councils office would not have made this statement unless there were problems with the main thrust of the buzzfeed story.

So while I still believe buzzfeed is reporting what they were told in good faith and that they have reason to believe their sources are strong it is certainly possible that the sources have bad information in this instance somehow.

But it is hilarious to see the trump bots glom onto this like it changes everything that has already come out about Trump and his campaign’s dealings with the Russians.

What’s also funny is how quickly the Trumpbots turned Mueller from a villain to a hero.

@Hexenbiest

Why would Mueller clarify his statement?

Lots of parsing going on but honestly it’s hard to say exactly what the clarification was all about. Hopefully he’ll be a little more specific.

So you’re not a law and order guy, huh?

[dubarry20833]

So trump doesn’t lie, he tells jokes? Like that knee slapper about 4000 terrorists at the southern border?

[Forcefield]

Lol at how giddy you turkeys are that they said part of buzzfeeds statement was inaccurate. Talk about hanging desperately to a tenuous thread…

[dubarry20833]

Embracing Bob meuller’s investigstion whole doing so too.

[dubarry20833]

Seriously. It’ll be like we didn’t have text messages and emails, we had written documents.

The apologists, defenders, and water carriers will all end up with a half baked ham and cheese omelet on their face in due time.

Once again you lefty’s desperately cling to fake news stories that are dismissed over and over…hahaha. President Trump is so far ahead of these media clowns it’s hilarious…2020 year of the trump.

[madasheck]

Hold on to that silly statement when the walls come tumbling down. And you Trumpheads are going to look so ridiculous. I’m already laughing at how silly the statements you guys are making. Completely divorced from reality.

@Rodeo

I came to this forum today to see what the reaction was, not just to Buzzfeed’s complete failure of journalism yesterday but the complete failure of many elements of the media to act responsibly in it’s wake.

The president lies on a constant basis and yet its the “media” that is a complete failure? Spare me the theatric, you should try holding the president to a higher or at least the same bar as you do the “MSM”

@BigBear

Your point is ? If Buzzfeed got it wrong, they got punked, clearly. ■■■■ happens. How many times has Sean Hannity, for example, got things wrong? Hey mods: Would it be a TOS to provide a list?

You can with this in mind: You can disagree with what Sean says, but you can’t attack or degrade him in any way.

OK, thanks for the reply.

@BigBear

We’ll see if Buzzfeed issues a retraction, if the story is wrong. That’s a test of a reputable news organization. A test which the right-wing sewers quoted here fail daily. Sean Hannity? Hard for me to say, here. Anyway, we’ll see.

In response, BuzzFeed said, “We are continuing to report and determine what the special counsel is disputing. We remain confident in the accuracy of our report.”

Buzz feed is doubleing down according to the CNN link I posted in the op

Alright then, we’ll see how this comes out, sooner than later I’m guessing.

Yeah. Like the liberal media and Dem posters in this thread didn’t think it changed anything when it first came out and they declared the Trump impeachment right around the corner. Sorry, its too late to downplay this probable hoax that me mainstream liberal media was involved in now.

And how many lies/hoax… er… I mean “jokes” can we expect from Trump today?

[madasheck]

We’ll see what happens when Cohen testifies.

@mollyBrown

Can we finally admit that Mueller doesn’t leak?

That’s pretty much it…Mueller is letting us know that that info didn’t come from his investigation. Is the WH trying to get ahead of it again?

@Roxiebelle

It was a witch-hunt and the beginning of leftist political corruption. Nixon resigned & there were no indictments of any kind because President Ford took preemptive action and pardoned Nixon of any crimes that the left could whip up.

I didn’t realize we had people on these boards who thought WATERGATE was a witch hunt and Nixon was unfairly tagged.

Wow…I always knew those people existed but thought they were rare.

Every day my eyes are opened more…

[JayJay]

“Mexico will pay for the wall” was a joke?

I’m so glad we’ve got the expert to parse these things to let us know what things we’re supposed to take seriously, and what are just “jokes”.

[GrandWazoo]

About as dumb as everything Trump says is just hyperbole.
