They're disputing some of characterizations of it. Sounds like they may have been wrong about what type of evidence Mueller has.
Lanny Davis was on several shows yesterday and today and he didn't dispute any of it.

But this does give lots of fire power to trump and the right-wingers to discredit the investigation.

At this point I'm losing hope trump will ever face consequences.

never did anything like this for Clinton during the campaign.

At the end of the day Mueller is a Republican. Trump is like making sausage - you might hate the process but you love the result - Comey, Mueller, Rosenstein et al. Six Gorsichs on the Supreme Court is the goal. Also ever increasing the wealth of their buddies.

I suspect Whitaker forced them to put out this vague statement.
