"This story is accurate."

[NeverTrump]

Buzzfeed unequivocal on Cohen story.

The exchange

Cormier: "This story is accurate."

Stelter: "What if the sources are just wrong?

Cormier: "They're not."

Stelter: "Not intentionally. Not trying to hurt you, but what if they're wrong?"

Cormier: "They're not. They're not. I'm confident."

Buzzfeed says they cannot or do not understand what Mueller is talking about. The Buzzfeed guys say they are sticking with the story, and that there is a TRANSCRIPT of the alleged conversation

BuzzFeed reporter: "I'm confident" our sources are correct on Trump-Cohen


Perhaps Mueller was only disputing emails/texts?

 

[Rexedgar]

Like another poster noted, Rudy is already building the foundation for this to be accurate.

Mueller could have been trying to fix information that might tip off Trump and allow Trump an advantage. hard to say without any real information to go on.

But either way that is a strong position that will either show Buzzfeeds integrity or destroy them if they turn out to be wrong. But I remember reading about the same opinions about The Washington Post, Time, and The New York Times reporting during Watergate.

Question? Was Washington Post considered Buzzfeed level of journalism before Watergate?

Hard to believe that someone could be so stupid as to order a transcript made of their commission of a crime, but then, I suppose there are people stupid enough to put videos of themselves breaking into houses on Facebook.

I guess we'll just have to hurry up and wait to find out exactly what it was about the story that was "inaccurate." I do hope this is wrapped up before the 2020 election, so that if Trump really has personally done something worthy of impeachment the GOP will have to go on record voting to acquit.

Remember, Michael Cohen recorded everything.

There’s a good film on PPV. “The Post.” The Pentagon Papers story put them on the map and the Watergate story cemented their position as close to the NYT. I’ve never really heard of Buzzfeed before this.....

 

[MovingPictures]

While I do believe Trump probably was aware of Cohen planning to lie to Congress (which could be an impeachable offense), I seriously doubt Mueller would sit on an episode like this, where he had the President of the US dead to rights ordering perjury and obstruction of justice.

He would be free to file a complaint to Congress and argue Trump needed his authority stripped to prevent him from further crimes.

I have no idea. Why you ask?

 

[Helix]

like i said in the other thread, my guess is that the investigation is ongoing and that the leaked story is probably accurate. if i had to guess whether Trump told Cohen to lie or if he didn't, i know which side i'd bet my twenty bucks on.

Hard to imagine Cohen lying for Trump w/o Trump’s knowledge/instructions. Rudy has said that the Trump Tower was still being discussed in OCT/NOV 2016.

What is the procedure for the bolded?

Why would any reporter not try to defend what they have reported? The problem, of course, is that anonymous sources can't be held to account one way or the other. If a reporter said they had "trusted sources" who had confirmed evidence of bigfoot or alien abduction then the reporter has every right to assert reporting of that "fact" was proper.

Buzzfeed knows they're ****ed. Therefore, there's nothing to lose by insisting the story is accurate. They probably think it's better to look crazy, than to admit they lied.

What advantage? If it's true, it's true. If it isn't, it isn't. If there's a trial, there will be discovery. It isn't like Mueller can keep it a secret until after a trial begins (if there is one).

If it's true, why not let Buzzfeed's story stand and posdibly force President Trump to resign?

Just trying to find out where Buzzfeed will be when this is all said and done. My guess a new reputable news organization

i'll wait for Mueller's report. also, what's a "posdibly?"

Is that what Rudy Ghouliani is doing?

If Mueller had information that corroborated the BuzzFeed story or if he had no information regarding what BuzzFeed was reporting he would not have commented. The fact that he did comment means that he believes the BuzzFeed reporting to be inaccurate and provably inaccurate.

It's a typo. Ever heard of a typo? Probably not, since you're unable to use caps.

But Rudy said Trump spoke to Cohen about his testimony. He already confirmed at least a part of Buzzfeed's story...
