    I think Mueller put this out to make it clear that the leak came from SDNY, not his office. People keep forgetting that Cohen is working with both.

        while that makes a lot of sense, it seems as though we've reached the "negotiation" stage of the 5 Stages of Death and Dying. But maybe I'm wrong. but this whole thing seems a little too on the nose as a liberal fever dreamhttp://www.trumplandiareport.com/2019/01/18/v-log-why-i-had-a-hunch-the-buzzfeed-cohen-russia-story-was-bunk/ …

        Fuckit, here goes. Folks, as I noted in my post form this morning, the BuzzFeed story conflicted with what SCO had Cohen allocute to under oath. That raised questions for me last night. https://www.emptywheel.net/2019/01/18/about-the-buzzfeed-scoop-its-important-but-it-oversells-the-lying-part/ …

        Wouldn't the statement from Mueller's office then be, just, horrifyingly irresponsible? There is a gigantic proportion of people that now have a talking point for never believing anything about Trump and Cohen ever again.

        yeah this is seriously ridiculous. first of all, why would the reporters get this wrong? They would have been talking directly to the source and know which office they came from. Secondly, why would they release their only comment on an article to correct a minor error?

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        Folks are forgetting the content which doesn’t say it’s not true. They carefully referred only to the accuracy regarding type of evidence they have. So this may mean they have document A & Cohen said they had document B. But the actual situation was not disputed

        Related point. I think BF May have been loose/imprecise about who had learned. NY learned? SCO learned? Not a hugely significant difference for readers. But very big to offices involved.

        And also about how the suborning happened. Did Cohen circulate his testimony and get edits and sign off? Is that meaningfully different than Trump telling him to perjure himself. Mueller's sentencing memo more consistent with the former, but both are damning.

        This wouldn't be under SDNY jurisdiction though.

        Also, why would Mueller release his only ever clarification just to correct a minor technical issue? could have just ignored it like every other report.
