Mueller's office has come out and rebutted the Buzzfeed article.. Not certain which part they're rebutting. Whether or not Trump directed Cohen to lie to congress about the Trump tower in Moscow, or the timing of it, and or when the Trump tower was discussed.

Buzzfeed is asking for clarification of what Mueller's office is rebutting, and are standing by their story until they get clarification.

Regardless Michael Cohen will be testifying in an open public hearing on February 7th. Should be very interesting. Be assured that FOX NEWS will NOT be covering his testimony, so turn the channel, if you're a FOX NEWS watcher. As we know Michael Cohen was sentenced to 3 years in prison, and probably has a lot to say, being Trump's personal attorney for the last 20 years.

Which means it’s not true. Which means it’s bunk, phones, fake.

Please look up synonyms sometime

"Not accurate" doesn't mean the entire story is "not accurate". Do you have trouble with reading comprehension?

description of specific statements to the Special Counsels Office-
Not accurate.

characterization of documents- Not accurate

testimony obtained by this office- Not accurate

It's simple as that, if you know how to read.

.

Not accurate.

That's not the same as "false".

Something in that reporting is incorrect. Most likely the claim of evidence that Mueller was claimed to have had.

In one of Cohen's Court filings he has said he lied to Congress at Trump's behest. In others he said he did it because he thiught Trump wanted him to.'

But with that said...without evidence the claim is fairly useless.

Time will tell...

But Congress most certainly should be looking into this and that IS within their purview

Wrong again skippy, he said he tailored his congressional testimony to mirror Trumps campaign statements. If you noticed in his plea bargain he didn't plead guilty to conspiracy to lie to congress, which would have been the case if it were true.

You idiots can play the semantics game all you wish, but you're wasting your energy.

.

It's time for Trump to play hard ball.

As soon as Barr is confirmed order him to open an investigation into every single rumor of illegal activity by any Democratic member of Congress.

"Rumors"? Is that how the Right operates?

LOL that is EXACTLY what the Steel Dossier was full of, RUMORS

And everything else in this phony ass investigation into Trump. RUMORS started by Democrats.

Not according to the FBI. Everything they checked on, has checked out. No rumors so far. You are a liar.

Feel free to link to that .

Here's what's true in the infamous Trump-Russia dossier If it were full of rumors you would have posted them as rumors. You did not. You are still lying.

Great deflection.

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

Cohen pleaded guilty to failure to report personal income taxes for the five-year period beginning in 2012. He also admitted to making false statements to a financial institution tied to a credit decision around February 2015, to willfully causing an unlawful corporate contribution from at least June 2016 to October 2016, and to making an excessive campaign contribution on October 27, 2016, according to his plea agreement.

So were did he plead to a conspiracy charge of lying to congress?

I heard Obama found a new birth certificate and is thinking bout 2020. (-:

Seriously, there's not going to be any conviction for perjury, but I think McConnell is going to sink the SS Trump with hundreds of tiny holes under the waterline.

do we as a country really want this to be a direction EITHER party can pull at any time?

you want to dig into someones past this bad and crucify them for in the end simply being "the other party" who the fuck is going to run for office anymore?

McConnell is not of the "other party" to Trump. McConnell just wants Trump to send up the list of the judges McConnell didn't get to last year so he can finish stuffing the courts since Reid killed filibuster. And I doubt spineless Turtle has anything against RBG, if she should pass, I think he wants his 6th SC seat.

And the Obama birth certificate was a joke.

In 2020 McConnell will be minority leader You heard it here first

Or he may be retired.

Maine and Colorado are probably already tipped to blue.

Ariz, Ga, NC and Tenn are in the air.

tought to see how the dems keep Ala. I once told my daughter I was good with whomever she'd bring home ... unless he was from Ala.

Every State with Federal Employees, such as Texas and Kentucky, may very well go blue in 2020.

President Trump has done everything possible to discredit the Republican Party and no one seems real happy when they can't pay their rent, car payment and even have resorted to getting food from the food pantry. McConnell too, I doubt he'll even run when next on the ballot.

.

It's well known that he did indeed originally lie to congress, specifically about the Trump tower in downtown Moscow. It's very possible that Mueller didn't charge him with lying to congress, as he is a cooperating witness, on a plea deal. Cohen is going to do 3 years in prison already.

WASHINGTON – Michael Cohen once told lawmakers that he learned about the infamous 2016 Trump Tower meeting with a Russian lawyer only after he read about it in the press Now, after President Donald Trump's longtime personal attorney pleaded guilty to eight federal crimes on Tuesday, lawmakers are wondering if he told the truth.Senate Intelligence Committee leaders are questioning whether Cohen lied to the panel when he testified last fall that he had no advance knowledge of that meeting, which was meant to seek "dirt" on Hillary Clinton.Cohen could face more legal jeopardy if he lied. Federal law makes it a crime to "knowingly and willfully" give false statements to Congress. The penalty is up to five years in prison.

Did Michael Cohen lie to Congress? Lawmakers seek answers

Jeff Sessions lied to congress on 3 separate occasions but Mueller didn't charge him with anything. Redirect to this link to read all about it.

Thread burial in Conspiracy Theories may prove to be premature - especially before discrepancies have been fully resolved between BuzzFeed and Mueller.

Buzzfeed News Bombshell Reporter: No We Have Not Seen the Evidence Supporting Our Report

Anthony Cormier is one of the two investigative reporter at BuzzfeedNews who co-authored the bombshell report published Thursday night — a report which claimed President Donald Trump directed his former lawyer Michael Cohen to lie during Congressional testimony over discussions between the Trump Organization and Russian authorities about a Trump Tower Moscow project.

Cormier appeared on CNN’s New Day and revealed that he had not seen the evidence underlying his report.

The Dossier is bullshit. Mueller has never connected the DNA of any Russian prostitute (reportedly the finest in the world) with any ruined mattress in a Moscow 5 star hotel.

I doubt that is even what he is looking at.

[cnm]

I do? Who, other than Buzzfeed, is reporting that they have seen proof that Trump ordered Cohen to lie to Congress? The answer, of course, is none.

Buzzfeed does not say they've seen proof.

 

[Olde Europe]

Buzzfeed does not say they've seen proof.

That's the weakest excuse I have seen so far. If they didn't have sufficient supporting evidence for the claim Trump specifically directed Cohen to lie to Congress, they should not have said Trump directed Cohen to lie to Congress. Going out on a limb, thereby handing Trump an opportunity to besmirch "the press", certainly wasn't the smartest of moves.

Suing buzzfeed for a hundred million would be a lot more profitable

You think Trump wants that in any court of law?

I for one would love to see it

God you people are stupid. Trump loves going to court. .Look how many lawsuits he was involved in prior to going into politics.

Even after he got into politics- he sued the shit out of the British Fake News purveyor for calling his old lady a "whore". Collected too.

And he'll collect off of Mr. Avenatti and Ms. Daniels as well.

She did, and Clinton should of sued the NE.

I don't know who is excusing what in your story. Be that as it may, it's merely the way things are. However they did make it plain they were reporting the claims of two informants. Mueller has been careful and narrow in his rebuttal, he has not dismissed the claims out of hand as 'false'.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Mueller was disputing the whole damn thing.

Hmm, no, it doesn't appear that he was, as his vague, careful language avoided doing exactly that. Maybe someone else who isn't so terrified of losing his cult membership will step up and offer a guess .
