(4,575 posts)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.

(4,484 posts)"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.
