That's one of the basic fundamentals of journalism.

fairness.

They (Buzzfeed) believe what they have reported is accurate, so how, exactly are they supposed to only publish the "correct parts and taken out the inaccurate parts" when the OSC did not tell them what was inaccurate? Nor did OSC correct anything when given the opportunity PRIOR to publication...


That has to be the most ludicrous statement on this I've seen.

stated the objective might have been only to make clear that OSC was not the source, given some Congressional Reps were taking this and running--even to the point of suggesting Mueller was inappropriate in not contacting Congress of this finding. Well, the finding (whatever it is or is not) may be still be the subject of further related investigations.

We shall see, but I neither discount 100% nor am I willing to run with it as the "smoking gun"--both extremes having been at play the past 18 hours.

to push back, discussed Whittaker and that it remains unclear if he is overseeing the day to day--the implication being that if he is that he may have made this decision. It was a brief discussion, given it is merely speculation.

paying attention vis-a-vis Whittaker and the controversies surrounding him?

You can't make this bullshit true by constantly repeating it. Watch Chuck Rosenberg on Rachel tonight. He destroys this bullshit.

Another office leaked it - maybe SDNY - who knows? Mueller is not denying the story, and to me it looks like he's trying to take some heat off Michael Cohen. (Cheeto is threatening his father-in-law!)

You guys need to just take a breath and calm down. Have a glass of wine and chill out.

Which is pretty amazing really.

Mueller never said the story is false.

If something is not accurate, you shouldn't publish it.

If OCS does not correct them when asked prior to publication, how exactly do they know it is incorrect so as to not publish. this makes NO sense whatsoever.

Even worse is your conflating of error with FABRICATION.

We all bristle when a certain someone and his RW ilck constantly accuses the MSM of "fake news". Mistakes or inaccuracies occur. That does not equate to FABRICATION" (unless you are talking about our National Propaganda network--Faux News or their RT Russian counterparts-- or the White House Press Office).

Things haven't changed.

I do not recall seeing one message regarding his history of lying until Mueller released his statement.

As another poster said, he was a hero this morning.

I have to admit, bu I didn’t remember he was the one with the Rove story.

When I looked him up - what I learned isn’t good.

Several posters mentioned it when the story originally broke.

Jason Leopold is the co-author of the Buzzfeed article everyone is talking about

and it was starting to look like the House might seriously take up impeachment proceedings prematurely. For sure Muellar has alot more on Trump than what Buzzfeed disclosed and he wants all of that available to Congress when the impeachment starts. Thus the warning shot to the bow.

whole lot of other things on the Don and his crime family. As Rachel pointed out, there must be a reason Mueller took the time and effort to get a guilty plea out of Cohen on perjury and then didn't ask for an additional sentence. It's now on record the perjury happened. There must be documentation behind it as well as other witnesses. Trump is toast and we have to remember that. The problem is that this has gone on for so long we're losing hope justice will eventually win out.
