Maybe it is inaccurate because it is even worse than Buzzfeed portrayed it.

The leak came from somewhere, but not from Mueller or anyone in his office.

It's an important point because Mueller has never leaked anything, especially not on this investigation. The important message for us is that he didn't deny the story. Michael Cohen said those things and he's been corroborated in interviews with other White House employees. Mueller has texts, emails, phone calls, and 3rd party testimony saying the same thing. Mueller's been looking into all of this for over a year, ever since he raided Cohen's office.

Malcolm Nance has been following this story since before the election, and he knows many of people who spoke with Mueller.

If someone robs a bank and it's reported the getaway car was black instead of blue, that's "inaccurate," but doesn't make the thief any less guilty.

They seem to be under the impression that law works like a game of Clue where if you accuse Colonel Mustard of knifing someone in the dining room instead of the billiard room, you lose the game and the suspect goes free.

knows exactly what he's doing.

The central theme: Trumpy commanded Cohen to lie to Congress.

ITTMF!

central point of the Buzzfeed article is true but the details are inaccurate.

However, the fact that the Buzzfeed writers admitted they never saw the actual documentation should have set off an immediate alarm bell. Instead of waiting for additional corroboration, they took the word of two law enforcement officials they claimed were credible sources in the past. That may be absolutely true but without the additional source work there's no telling if the two officials were acting on real documentation or junk.

Whatever the case, a snafu like this--once it hits the MSM--discredits not only the story but bruises the hard legal work that's been going on for the last 2+ years.

Trump and his minions are circling the drain. They know it and everyone else knows it. Delaying and/or confusing the inevitable is a feature, not a bug. Discrediting journalism has been an anthem for the MAGA crowd. With the troubled Buzzfeed article, they've been handed a weapon, which they're already using.

Which means we and the press need to be careful that we're not spreading disinformation to be used against our own credibility.

Catching Donald Trump is a tall order, it is widely known that he does not use email, or write letters or memos. I hope that whatever proof they have on him is solid and unimpeachable.
