Laurence Tribe's theory about the Mueller team's reaction to BuzzFeed story

Laurence Tribe

This seems to be why Mueller decided to get people to chill about the Buzzfeed bombshell. Note that Mueller’s rare statement did NOT deny that Cohen lied to Congress about the Moscow project at the direction of Individual 1. Congress must begin investigating this NOW.

Listen, if Mueller does have multiple sources confirming Trump directed Cohen to lie to Congress, then we need to know this ASAP. Mueller shouldn't end his inquiry, but it's about time for him to show Congress his cards before it's too late for us to act.

It's also possible that this atypical statement is in response to today's outcry that Mueller must do something about this RIGHT NOW. Seems like a pretty easy way to shut that hyperbole down, especially since it's so non-dispositive.
