"BuzzFeed's report... as written, was as clean as it gets: Trump directed Cohen to lie about the Trump Tower in Moscow project, and there’s tons of evidence to support that."

"Very rarely has a story been so unequivocal — usually there are more hedges and acknowledgments of what isn't known. And unlike most other reportage in this saga, this accused the president of a felony — a very different bar. Democrats read the story and began immediately dreaming up articles of impeachment. Even some conservatives joined the 'If true' chorus...."

Writes Axios in "A reckoning for political journalism" (also reporting that BuzzFeed Editor-in-Chief Ben Smith is standing by his story, saying "We literally don't know what the special counsel is referring to" and "This is a line of reporting that has been repeatedly vindicated").

We’re just going to have to wait and see when the Mueller investigation is over as to what has been accurate reporting throughout this whole thing. In the Nixon debacle there was also an instance of erroneous reporting, didn’t matter one way or the other in the outcome.

An instance?

Only 1?

Absolutely no possibility for more than 1 instance?

FIDO said...

Anyone want to start a counter on how many news stories had to be retracted by the MSM because of fraudulent reporting?

Tim Pool just did a video and going by memory, there are something like seven major stories not counting this one which were pure fabrication about Mueller's report and were duly retracted, but it was certainly wonderful fap material for Democrats to sell papers with.

I suspect several of them were put up by the Initial Poster. (Please note that my statement had far more professionalism and equivocation than Buzzfeed used)

“If true” it’s a process crime that never would have happened had Hillary and Obama not sicced the FBI, CIA, NSA, and finally a Special Counsel on Trump with zero evidence, that’s what “if true” means.

Inger: "...didn’t matter one way or the other in the outcome."

And there you have it right from the horse's mouth: the only thing that matters to the Left is the outcome they want. Whatever lies, suborned perjuries, prosecutorial misconduct or other crimes must be committed by the Deep State to achieve the removal of President Trump will be excused, as long as they effectuate the right outcome.

There is zero chance Mueller knocks this down if Whitaker and Barr were not taking control of the oversight of this hoax dossier/weaponization of law enforcement/intelligence agencies against a domestic political opponent.

Zero chance.

That is clearly Schumer's fear from late last week wasn't it?

The lefties problem is that Barr is likely to rigorously follow dept guidelines (for the first time in 3.5 years vs the weaponized FBI/DOJ lefty/LLR's) and mere rumor and innuendo will not be allowed out as part of the final Barr-reviewed report.

Not to mention that no underlying crime has ever been specified or outlined on top of this whole charade which was begun as in (improper) counter-intelligence investigation cover story designed to hide the weaponized targeting of a domestic political opponent.

Right now the ghost of Erich Honecker is saying: nice job lefties/LLR's!

I'm sure Buzzfeed, like the others in the Corrupt Liberal Media ("CLM"), will eventually say it was all a "mistake." It will be added to the chronicles of the other "mistakes" that, for some reason, all go against Trump and Republicans. See the lists compiled by Glenn Greenwald, Sharon Atkinson, et al. Let's say the CLM has a 50/50 chance of making an anti-Trump mistake or an anti-Democrat mistake. The odds of 10 of 10 mistakes going against one party are one in 1,024. The odds of 20 of 20 mistakes going against one party are one in 1,048,576. The CLM has made easily over 500 "mistakes" against Trump and Republicans. What's the odds of that?!

Inga now pretends she understands the actual DOJ guidelines about what is allowed in these final reports!

Can you imagine being Inga? Just 24 hours ago she was in the middle of the 9,593rd "thing" which was sure to bring Trump down....and then, within 12 hours.....poof!

But we are supposed to take this non-thing and pretend the non-thing which was knocked down is actually a possible thing and to proceed as if this possible thing is a likely thing and therefore all you Trump supporters better get ready for that likely thing to rock your world!!

Even though every other time its been exposed as another lefty/LLR lie/smear.....this time...it's gonna be different!!

On the plus side, it's been at least several weeks since Inga pretended to read the minds of the Mueller dem hack team to warn us about what was coming.

Today is a new day! Which means all previous days actions by Inga are long forgotten and she gets to lecture everyone else again!

Which is nice.....

The sound of goalposts being moved!!

Because dummy, the Mueller investigation notes, like background checks for security clearances, includes innuendo, false charges, assertions by enemies of things that can never be proven, etc etc etc.

The DOJ has guidelines as to what can be produced in a public report in the same way that DA's have guidelines not to float rumors and unverified gossip. The same guidelines that have existed forever.

But we get it. Team Dem knows the collusion lies cannot be backed up, because...lies...duh, so they need the dem/lefty provided innuendo to back themselves up.

Big media like NPR are reporting this as a dilemma, they really aren't sure who believe - Mueller or Buzzfeed. So clearly the Mueller report is a YUGE waste of time since even those who are telling us Mueller is a trustworty stalwart of bipartisan government refuse to believe Mueller if they don't like what he has to say.

As I understand it, there was absolutely nothing improper about Trump discussing a potential development project in Moscow, so there was nothing to "lie" about.
Perhaps he told Cohen to tell them it was none of their business?

There is one out for the Buzzfeed story. As I understand it, the article did not specify that it is Mueller's group that is "investigating" this, so it may be a district attorney in Hawaii or something like that that is the source for the brouhaha.

"Now why wouldn’t you folks want to know everything that’s in Mueller’s report?"

Because it has been a sorry, criminal miscarriage of justice from the moment the justice department and FBI decided to deep dive in the political sewer. Only the most shallow, partisan, treasonous sewer rats give a whit about what Mueller reports. The process followed in this sorry episode is so despicable that it really doesn't matter what the process eventually alleges. The Dems, the intelligence community, the Obama justice department and the FBI have done unconscionable damage to the fabric of the union and the rule of law. You and yours are going to have to live with that damage and hope it doesn't come home to roost. I believe it will.

At that point, there will be actual facts on the table. I change my position if new facts come to light that undermine my old one, what do you do? If Trump is genuinely guilty of something beyond minor conflicts in testimony in a wide ranging investigation that only exists because Hillary was mad she lost, I will probably be disappointed, but I won’t defend him.

That’s probably a mistake. Obviously the Democrats in the last election gave money to a British spy, who then spread it around among Putin spies, to dig up dirt on Trump and “No problemo!” But I have higher standards than that.

why is it legal for The Clinton Foundation to receive Russian cash for "speeches from Bill" and Russian money in general, all while the Obama-Clinton administration opened up the Russian Uranium project for payout.

The New York Times reported in 2015 that "shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, [former President Bill] Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock." In total, $145 million went to the Clinton Foundation from interests linked to Uranium One, which was acquired by the Russian government nuclear agency Rosatum.

"Why is it legal for Hillary Clinton campaign to pay for a bogus dossier "

It is illegal for a campaign to file false campaign expenditure reports with the FEC by laundering unsavory expenses through law firms.

In this case Mueller has chased the Trump/Cohen angle, but ignored the huge Clinton/Perkins Cole / Fusion GPS / Steele crime

In truth, the only campaign / foreign and corrupt intelligence story involves Hillary and a Brit spook. (e.g. Steele) trying to impact the 2016 election.

Chuck said...

I say again; I am always happy to hear/read anything from Mueller's office. I care very much about what they are doing. I like the idea of Mueller being exacting, accurate, and credible. No matter what the media say. And I don't care if Muller says nothing. But I would like to note that in the Buzzfeed story, they report that they asked Mueller's office for comment before running the story, and Mueller's office declined comment. So the OSC declined comment before the story, but commented on the story after publication.

And I don't really care much one way or another about BuzzFeed. Before this story, I cannot ever remember actually going to Buzzfeed's home page for anything. I have now, and it is amazingly trashy with celebrity news, gossip and nonsense.

I further state again; if Buzzfeed is exposed and humiliated, it won't matter to me. I've never cared about, or vouched for, Buzzfeed. The Mueller investigation will go on, unscathed.

If alternatively, Buzzfeed's story is somehow correct, I'll be delighted. On the substance. Presumably, we would find out that Buzzfeed's sources were law enforcement sources apart from the OSC; or that the OSC press release from last evening was only a technical denial. I don't know. It doesn't matter to me. It seems to be very much of a temporary issue, that will be resolved next month, or in the spring, or this summer.

And we might not even have to wait very long to figure it out. Cohen testifies before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on February 7. I love testimony under oath, although House committees are some of the worst places and least efficient formats for the examination of witnesses.

I'm reminded of the time that Justice Gorsuch was meeting with Senator Blumenthal before his confirmation hearing and after the meeting, Senator Blumenthal said that in the course of the meeting, Gorsuch had said that it was "dispiriting" and "disheartening" that Trump had spoken disrespectfully of other federal judges. Then arose a great kerfuffle when Trump challenged Blumenthal as somehow having "misrepresent[ed]" Gorsuch. Even though former Senator Kelly Ayotte and others confirmed the reporting.

What I said at the time was essentially, Just wait; in a couple of weeks, Gorsuch will be testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Blumenthal sits on that Committee. No doubt Blumenthal will ask Gorsuch about it, on national television, with Gorsuch under oath. Then we will know for sure, one way or another... Blumenthal did exactly that, of course, and in his answer under oath in the hearing, Gorsuch used the exact same words; "disheartening" and "dispiriting."

I am far less confident that "Buzzfeed" will be vindicated in the Cohen testimony than I was confident that Trump would be shown up in the Gorsuch testimony. But what I do say is let's just wait to see what Cohen says, and what Mueller does.

Earlier this morning I sarcastically asked Meade if all of this means that Mueller and His Thirteen Democrats are no longer part of The Deep State Club, trying to destroy PresidentDonaldJTrump? Anybody know the answer to that? And is the race to condemn Buzzfeed a symptom of Trump Derangement Syndrome Derangement Syndrome?

Drago said...

Original Mike: "The reason I want the Mueller report made public is so they can't lie about what's in it"

That's irrelevant.

We already know from Ohr's testimony under oath that the entire obama FBI/DOJ leadership has lied to investigators about what they knew and when they knew it re: the hoax/Dem/FusionGPS/Nellie Ohr "dossier".

We also know from that Ohr testimony that Adam Schiff-ty, a "bigly" LLR Chuck dem fav, also lied about everything in his alternate memo. Conversely, the Ohr testimony aligns perfectly with what the Nunes memo laid out.

Has that changed the dems actions one bit?

Nope.

Mueller had to issue a correction on this latest lefty/LLR smear because his old buddy Rosenstein isn't there to provide complete cover and the last thing Mueller wants is for Barr to walk in next week and say "why didn't you knock this obvious lie down" and "gee, perhaps its time to do a little investigation on who is leaking from your team".

OM: Probably (my remarks were intended ironically) but with the Left, you never know: I get the impression everything they say on CNN or MSNBC is bullshit: said for political effect, without any regard to its truth value. "Literally," "treason," "criminal" are terms politically useful because they have traditional objective meaning to folks like us and even in the independent middle. But, as with journalistic standards of objective reporting, they never seem to restrain MSM from any story that might advance their socialist narrative.

On the underlying topic, I found this WaPo quote especially revealing: Mueller’s denial, according to people familiar with the matter, aims to make clear that none of those statements in the story are accurate."

The value of Michael Cohen's forthcoming testimony to Congress is exactly zero. He has already admitted he lied to Congress before--that admission is part of his deal with Mueller.

It's the old "Were you lying then or are you lying now?" conundrum.

The charges to which he pleaded guilty in New York included tax fraud and making false statements to a financial institution.
Once you are convicted of, or plead guilty to, fraud, your credibility is shot.

Once you plead to lying to Congress, your credibility is shot.

So ... his credibility is shot.

Which insane and debunked Lefty/LLR conspiracy theory over the last 3 years did you not bite down hard on?

None.

The funny thing is that it’s an open question as to whether what he did in the Stormy Daniels case was illegal or not. He confessed for Trump to a campaign finance violation. He was Trump’s lawyer, someone should ask him if he gave his legal opinion on making payments to Daniels, or if he was specifically told to pay her off in an illegal way and he objected, as an officer of the court, and was again ordered to do it, not just ordered to do it, but to do it illegally. That must be how it happened. BTW, how is it worse than laundering the money paid for the dossier as “legal expenses”? Shouldn’t someone be going to jail for that? Is misreporting campaign expenses a jailable offense or not?

Well, it depends on the political party, like everything else.

The irony of the entire matter is that the retired nurse will get exactly what she wants out of the Mueller report. His job is to do one thing and one thing only - protect the government. No one connected to Hillary, Democrat Party, FBI, DOJ, Obama Or Holder will be pointed out as a bad actor. The payout is what we have: Trump rumors and innuendos. For reference see the Benghazi report. For my money, Jeff Sessions turned out to be another flake.

Cohen testifies before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on February 7.

Where he will say nothing of substance. Anything pointing to details Mueller has for his case will be buried.

He might say something stupid that destroys Mueller's case.

Another recent development is the court ruling in the 5th circuit which proved that Inga's lies about the Planned Parenthood videos being "selectively edited" were, of course, after court-overseen forensic analysis, were just that lies.

The videos were not selectively edited.

But Inga lied about that.

And Inga wonders why we say its irrelevant what the facts or even straight video evidence proves... she and her pals will lie anyway...with lots and lots and lots of help from the LLR aligned corner.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Didn't Ben Smith used to edit Politico? I was always under the impression that that was a conservative or at least moderate-right publication.

Anyway, these rushes to judgment and fake reports and over-interpreting are damaging. Decent folks need to distance themselves from outfits that are doing reporting like this. You can even be incredibly biased like CNN and MSNBC but you need to separate out reportable fact from speculation - especially if you're going to report on controversial political topics with the import of whether Trump is impeachable in terms that much of the Congress and population would agree to. This shit just needs to end.

Brian said...

You have to learn to read these things. It's worse than Pravda sometimes. YOu have to look for what's MISSING. And who benefits from the story. Especially a story like this that relies on anonymous sources and no other media outlet runs.

From the buzzfeed report (paraphrased by paragraph):

1. Trump directed Cohen to lie to congress according to 2 federal law enforcement officials involved in an investigation of the matter.

This is a crime of course. Can't suborn perjury. Interesting that the "2 federal law enforcment officials" part doesn't say "current investgiation" just "an investigation". This is code for "not Mueller". This is code for "FBI". It might be that theya rent' even "current" feds either (McCabe anyone?). I suspect this is what Mueller had to get in front of by releasing their statement. They can't have congress rushing the investigation. WHich they would have to if this paragraph of the story is true.

2. "Make it happen", Trump tower. Nothing illegal about Trump Tower, so even if true, it's moot.

3. Trump told the public (even underlined) no business deals, but got regular updates. Again, not illegal! Fluff! Innuendo!

4. Cohen pleaded guilty Public knowledge.

5. Cohen told the OSC that Trump personally told him to lie. Note that this pararaph DOESN'T say that he told him to lie to Congress. Just that he told him to lie. It's not a crime to tell someone to lie to the public. Mueller specifcally debunks this paragraph in his statement. My guess is that Cohen was told to lie but not told to lie to Congress.

6. How the OSC learned of trump telling Cohen to lie (text messages, etc). Also debunked by the OSC statement.

7 and 8. Not the first time Trump has interfered Hyperbole and not "news".

9 and 10. Trump said something on the campaign trail. Haha, welcome to presidential campaigns.

11. and 12. Attorneys "close to the administration" helped Cohen. This is an example of twisting words. On first glance you think the White House Counsels office, which means you are in the WH and close to the president . But note that they don't go as far as to accuse the attorneys of suborning perjury or even being aware! Nonsense paragraph. McGahn then specifically denies the speculation. Didn't happen.

13. Cohen was a good boy to Mueller. So? Cohen is not even a source for this story! It offers nothing but more smokescreen.

14-16. Denials of involvement More fluff.

The rest of the story... Concerning Trump Tower negotations. Again, nothing illegal about this, since Trump wasn't President. If we want to get into relationships with foreign entities prior to running for office, perhaps we can look at the Clinton Foundation? Or is that just Bill's baby?

My take is that this story was a last ditch attempt by someone outside the OSC to block Barr's nomination to be AG. His nomination appears to be assured, and they needed to throw a wrench into that. They didn't expect Mueller to debunk it so quick. It was to flip a few Republicans and deny Barr the AG slot.

Yancey Ward said...

To paraphrase a previous version of Inga- Even Robert Mueller doesn't know what Robert Mueller knows.

This is some serious high-level stupidity going on at Buzzfeed and other outlets who won't admit they got caught/had. The only things in the Buzzfeed story were the accusation that Trump directed Cohen to lie and that the charge could be backed up with e-mails and texts. Mueller's released statement contradicted every part of that, and in an extraordinary way. If only some minor detail were wrong, Mueller keeps mum. The fact that he felt he had to torpedo the story is because of the accusation wasn't true based on the evidence that his own team has.

Yancey Ward said...

Well, if Ben Smith wants to make his case, he can tell us who the sources are- that is the only way anyone is going to believe his reporters and not Mueller himself.

Drago said...

Since Hoax Dossier-reality based dude showed up, what if we figure out a way to blame this alleged, hilariously false directive to Cohen on...
(Wait for it.......wait for it...)..Brett Kavanaugh!!

Surely he had time to pull that off in-between leading gang-rape operations across the Maryland country-side for decades.

Plus, it would be a two-fer for the left and thats always fantastic motivation for a new string of lefty lies.

Quick!!! Someone check to see if Kavanaugh ever traveled to Prague or Moscow!!

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Says the lefty guy with a handle of a hoax dossier.

Do I run a newspaper?

Trump has supported false reporting about himself since the beginning of his real estate nepotistic career. Feeding lines to the Enquirer, etc. I think early on a report made him out to look like a gorilla. He loved it. Omarosa has since said that Trump spends hours in the WH watching documentary videos on gorillas, and asks his staff to improve the ratio of videos where they're fighting each other. He becomes affectionate toward the most brutal ones and and talks to their on-screen images, offering praise of the sort that a WWE ambassador might be expected to.

Anyway, point being that I have no personal interest in respecting the reputational needs of Puppet Trump insofar as they concern truth - even if journalists should. But for me that ship sailed when he sent Baghdad Bob Sean Spicer out the day after the inauguration to proclaim his inaugural crowd the largest ever attended in history. PERIOD!

Yeah, you go ahead and pretend that ordinary citizens have an interest in separating truth from fiction when it comes to so-called billionaire populist, the one who disseminates more lies on the record than any other president by far.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

The story, as written, was as clean as it gets: Trump directed Cohen to lie about the Trump Tower in Moscow project, and there’s tons of evidence to support that.

I've been wondering what Axios means by "as clean as it gets." When one of the authors says he has not seen the evidence, and the other has been known to fabricate evidence, that seems very unclean to me.

Drago said...

narciso: "why did they chose prague, "

Because Nellie Ohr, FusionGPS employee had full FBI/Comey approved access to the FISA 702 database (raw electronic intercepts of every single American citizen) and ran a query that identified a "Michael Cohen" if NY as having traveled to Prague.

When this info was packaged together at FusionGPS by Glen Simpson and gang and then handed to Christopher Steele to launder this oppo research he reached out to his Putin pals who all played along because Simpson/Steele were spreading around Hillary/DNC cash (via PerkinsCoie) to these russian contacts and its always nice to receive US currency from the dems.

One big problem for the lefty/stasi liars...it was the WRONG Michael Cohen!!

How funny is that?

How is it possible for the russkis working with the dems to get THAT wrong??

They didnt. They just said yes to whatever...for cash.

The only possible way to get that wrong is having access to the FISA databases..
And screwing up.

This looks more and more like a mole hunt to me if the reporters themselves didn't fabricate the whole thing themselves.

Typical Republican ADHD-addled maniac. That's what it looks like to have no principles while cracking oneself up on partisan mania.

In the meantime, neither his president nor his lockjawed senate majority leader can lead. And so he's left with a party led by Rush Fattie Limbaugh and Ann Bony Coulter. Just wonderful, amazing, highly admired folk heroes that everyone loves.

Very admirable stuff.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

The beauty of having a Republican president and senate majority leader too chickenshit and full of shit to lead, is that Nancy Pelosi could always deliver the invitation for a SOTU address to the true leaders of their party: Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh.

You soil yourself every time you LOL at them thinking in some way your antiquated reasoning will prevent most unlaughable things.

When people tell you they want you gone forever consider maybe laughing is perhaps in the vast majority of cases the emotion they aim for you to have. Why?

We know you can't figure it out, us here Althouse commenters, so castratedly we just hope at the end you look at the opportunity cost and say "yeah LOL owning the bots/Progs on Althouse was worth MORE than the expanded time I spent on them."

If you don't feel that way fine. My aim is convincing the people who read Althouse comment sections which is a unique group.

And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love

One life

One life
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other

The thing is, even if PDJT had not been elected and the Trump Tower in Moscow had gone through, it was chump change.

Techno_fog is pretty interesting to follow for a bunch of reasons. One of them is an analysis, with screen shots, of the letter of intent for the Moscow tower.

1) It was not a real estate deal as much as a licensing deal. Donald Trump's company would license the Trump name and some expertise to the Russian company. They had no ownership of the tower.

2) Total revenue to Trump would have been, at most, about $35 million. That assumes that all condos are sold at list price, and hotel rooms and commercial spaces are fully rented at list price.

@Techno_fog also has some interesting stuff about the Concord case. This is the Russians Mueller indicted, never expecting them to show up and did, really throwing a monkey wrench in the works.

Some real shenanigans going on their on Mueller's part. They are being charged with a conspiracy to do something that is not a crime.

Nobody broke any laws, nobody even conspired to break any laws. But they conspired which Mueller claims is a crime in and of itself.

Calling on Inga for greater civility when PPPT/Ed Hominem was soon to appear.
Sad!

We're just going to have to wait and see if disgusting hag Inga's grandsons are in fact rapists. The burden is on them to prove they aren't.

It doesn't really matter what Mueller comes up with at this point. The entire investigation is tainted by the fact that it started under false pretenses. Lying to a judge so you can go on a fishing expedition makes a mockery of the justice system.

Those charges against Biden that he is a pedophile? I heard that the accusation is unsubstantiated.But I've seen video of him around kids. Who wouldn't believe that he diddles that every chance he's got.

U2 - "One"

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say

"In the Nixon debacle there was also an instance of erroneous reporting, didn’t matter one way or the other in the outcome."

Mark Felt.

"The Washington Post created a morality play about an out-of-control government brought to heel by two young, enterprising journalists and a courageous newspaper. That simply wasn't what happened. Instead, it was about the FBI using The Washington Post to leak information to destroy the president, and The Washington Post willingly serving as the conduit for that information while withholding an essential dimension of the story by concealing Deep Throat's identity."
