OT: Buzzfeed WRONG again

[orangelvis]

Very interesting that the Special Counsel released such a vague statement. Important to note that they don't specifically dispute the actual content of the Buzzfeed report-that Cohen was instructed to lie by the president.

I'd hold off on the victory parade for the president just yet. Have to wait and see...

Sounds like your boys were the ones running a victory parade:

What is vague about this?

It doesn't say how or why the statements are not accurate. It also doesn't say that Cohen didn't say that the president instructed him to lie.

It is saying that the corroborating evidence is not accurately reported--not that there necessarily isn't any, but that the characterization by Buzzfeed is incorrect, but again not spelling out how or why. If the office isn't going to say anything to the public and then intervene here--I would like a bit more clarity.

They could have also told Buzzfeed this when they were asked for comment on the article before publication.

Cormier has been pretty solid so far with his reporting, Leopold not as much. But these are the same guys who broke the Trump moscow story the president denied until and then changed his story to say it was an unfunded letter of intent and never even a proposal or draft contract. But then, oops, there was a signed letter by Trump where he had, in fact, signed a letter of intent to move forward with negotiations.

So I am interested to see how this unfolds since they aren't backtracking...

Grasping for straws. This is the same outfit that published the discredited dirty dossier.

It's also contradictory to basic logic. The reason they knew he had lied is because Don Jr had given testimony that the tower dealings had stretched out to June '16. There is nothing wrong with that. The Trump organization never tried to hide any of this. Also, what lawyer in his right mind would take advice from a client/former client, especially advice to break the law. Makes no sense.

What? Look back at the multiple political threads you tagged me in yesterday, you will see no mention of the Cohen story from me. I don’t take media stories as facts. I will wait for mueller’s report with evidence to assess trump’s crimes.

This does make you wonder though... why would the “mueller crime family deep state cabal” discredit a negative story on trump IF they are really deep state operatives bent in destroying the pious and innocent trump? Doesn’t make sense does it? And if this is the only negative media story that they have discredited, does that mean the rest are true?
