Rick Wilson analyzes Mueller statement:

Link to tweet

I'm totally calm about this.

The Mueller statement talks about the *characterization* being wrong, not the content. This isn't a sweeping "no."

They *declined comment* on the front end and issued a wordsmithed statement.

Breathe.

Good observation by Juliette Kayyam:

Clarity. For two years, stories, whether accurate or not, had no political consequences b/c Ryan didn't do anything. When House Dems start to take news stories as potential evidence to start essentially legal proceedings, Mueller's office has an interest in correcting.
