    Mueller had to refute it if it wasn't true because when Barr becomes AG, Bill Barr would have asked him if it wasn't true, why didn't you refute it.
    Barr would have fired him on the s

    There is so much slime going around and media isn't no longer a platform for unbiased news, but a propaganda machine for political and corporate gain.

    The whole area is a zoo now. Driving in and out of Concord is brutal. If you live in Concord and work in Oakland or SF you are looking at a couple hours of commuting.

    Nope. Mueller has made shit up before. The guy is a globalist stooge. His task was to find anything to get Trump out of office.

    The buzzfeed story was easy to see was BS, as has been done so many times with unnamed sources.

    U R mean. I was all empathetic that they didn't even get a weekend of this and you just rub it in.

    I gotta say though that the "Fox News Lol" gang getting all excited over Buzzfeed is kinda poetic.

    This could still be partially true though. Let's all wait and see.

    Mueller team disputes BuzzFeed report claiming Trump told Cohen to lie

    By Alex Pappas, Brooke Singman, Jake Gibson | Fox News
    Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office on Friday issued an extraordinary statement disputing a bombshell news report that claimed President Trump directed Michael Cohen to lie about the timing of discussions over a proposed Trump Tower project in Moscow.

    “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,” Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mueller’s office, said.

    The statement is remarkable in that Mueller's team rarely issues statements in response to news stories. But BuzzFeed's story sparked immense interest from Democrats, who called for renewed investigations and even suggested the allegations could be a basis for impeachment proceedings.

    "Remember it was Buzzfeed that released the totally discredited 'Dossier,' paid for by Crooked Hillary Clinton and the Democrats (as opposition research), on which the entire Russian probe is based," Trump late Friday night. "A very sad day for journalism, but a great day for our Country!"

    The report, which was not been confirmed by Fox News, was immediately dismissed by President Trump’s legal team.

    "Any suggestion – from any source – that the president counseled Michael Cohen to lie is categorically false. Michael Cohen is a convicted criminal and a liar," Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani said. "... Today’s claims are just more made-up lies born of Michael Cohen’s malice and desperation, in an effort to reduce his sentence."

    After the special counsel's statement on Friday, Giuliani praised Mueller's team "for correcting the BuzzFeed false story."

    "I ask the press to take heed that their hysterical desire to destroy this President has gone too far," he wrote in a tweet. "They pursued this without critical analysis all day."

    Earlier Friday, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., whose committee is already investigating the president and his ties to Russia, called the allegations in the report “the most serious to date.”

    “The allegation that the president of the United States may have suborned perjury before our committee in an effort to curtail the investigation and cover up his business dealings with Russia is among the most serious to date,” Schiff said in a statement. “We will do what’s necessary to find out if it’s true.”

    Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., said the House should begin to “establish a record” of whether Trump “committed high crimes,” repeatedly hinting on Twitter at the potential for impeachment proceedings.

    “Based on the Buzzfeed report and numerous other articles showing @realDonaldTrump committed Obstruction of Justice and other possible felonies, it is time for the House Judiciary Committee to start holding hearings to establish a record of whether @POTUS committed high crimes,” Lieu tweeted.

    Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, called for Trump to leave office or face impeachment if the report is accurate.

    “If the @BuzzFeed story is true, President Trump must resign or be impeached,” he said.

    In November, Cohen plead guilty to lying to Congress.

    Cohen entered into a plea deal with the special counsel to cooperate on “any and all matters” deemed relevant. The maximum prison sentence for Cohen is five years, plus fines of up to $250,000.

    In a separate case brought by federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York, Cohen pleaded guilty to breaking campaign finance laws by helping orchestrate payments to former Playboy model Karen McDougal and adult film star Stormy Daniels in exchange for their silence about alleged sexual encounters with the president years before he took office.

    Cohen is slated to appear for public lying before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Feb. 7.

    Whether you think he focuses on imaginary bullshit or not, how about relating that to his post rather than mentioning him?

    This needs further explanation. I'm going to presume they can't reveal the extent of their dispute nor exactly what they take issue with for fear of revealing too much to a potential defendant at this time. I'm confidant that it will all come out in the wash.
