      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.

          Again, I mostly agree. But why would Mueller’s team decide to anonymously reinforce its own denial? And I saw more than one person say similar things about the reliability of the Buzzfeed reporters before Mueller’s denial...

          Probably because the denial was being construed by some as “vague” or “narrow” when in fact it was intended to be comprehensive and categorical
