      Can’t get much more explicit than this. Mueller’s statement constituted a wholesale rejection of the BuzzFeed article’s central premise. So either Mueller is lying to the public, or BuzzFeed is toast https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/inside-the-mueller-teams-decision-to-dispute-buzzfeeds-explosive-story-on-trump-and-cohen/2019/01/19/d89dba5b-fa0f-445b-9fd3-72f0e911e28d_story.html …pic.twitter.com/dvQKMgZdNU

      Not defending Buzzfeed, but curious why *these particular* “people familiar with the matter” are the anonymous sources you choose to believe?

      Not “choosing to believe” anyone, simply noting that in order to believe BuzzFeed at this point, one must necessarily believe that Mueller took the extraordinary step of explicitly lying

          Unless I’m missing something, you said above you’re choosing to believe the anonymous sources in the Post story who are clarifying the intent of Mueller’s denial.

          There are no obvious red flags in this story, so it’s not a matter of “believing” these particular sources, but an overall assessment of reliability. One of the reporters, Barrett, is extremely well-sourced and has a flawless track record.

          I agree that is the most likely read. Perhaps I’m missing details, but wasn’t the initial Mueller-team denial slightly open to interpretation? And now this story, clarifying the Mueller-team denial, is anonymously sourced? I agree it’s likely, but don’t agree it’s that binary.

          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/ …

          Well, not if Cohen actually told it to the SDNY right?

          OR that the Washington post article is wrong. Perhaps they're trying to shiv their competition.

          The problem is Mueller's team lacks the balls to just come out and say this stuff so leaks it. But the sources the WaPo is using could be as bad as the ones buzzfeed is using. We don't know.
