Washington Post reports that Mueller's statement about BuzzFeed's report is aimed at the entire report, "to make clear that none of those statements in the story are accurate"
I know many liberals are trying analyze what Mueller''s team wrote, and believe a piece of info may be wrong, but not the whole story... I guess this settles it now.

Few things,
the SCO doesn’t say the report is out right false, just that some inaccuracies about what the SCO knows and information it has. Which is odd because they could have called the whole story false, but that doesn’t mean the “story is true but details are wrong” either.
The buzzfeed news’ source could be from SDNY’s team which is why there are inaccuracies regarding the SCO investigation. SDNY could have similar testimony from Cohen but they are not keeping their cards close to their chest like Mueller’s team. Thus Mueller’s team comments.
Buzzfeed news is doubling down on their story and requesting clarification from The SCO office about errors and why they were not addressed before when they sent them a story summary.
Maybe buzzfeed news got played by an insider pushing knowingly false info like Dan Rather and the Bush ANG files that stopped cold all other news groups from going after that story.
Or buzzfeed news made it up. Which I find unlikely given their history. I would bet on bad sources before saying the made it up.
“BuzzFeed’s description of specific statements to the Special Counsel’s Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen’s Congressional testimony are not accurate,” Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mueller’s office, said.
Read that more carefully:
"BuzzFeed's description of specific statements to the Special Counsel's Office" are not accurate.
"BuzzFeed's characterization of documents" are not accurate.
"BuzzFeed's characterization of testimony obtained by this office" are not accurate.
There may indeed be some accurate parts of the article. Like the date and the by-line. Although there's even some inconsistencies in that. One of the authors said at one point they had both seen the "evidence" that backs up their anonymous sources, while the other said he hadn't seen any such evidence.
It's a garbage story no matter how you spin it. The very definition of fake news.

It was even reported on my Local News site. They immediately got called out for using BuzzFeed's story by the people.
I don't trust anything they report. They're CNN only worse.
When I read it, I didn't believe a word of it.
Regardless what the left wants you to believe, Trump is not stupid. He's played the law game, one way or another, his entire adult life.

it took the Mueller team coming out and actually making a statement to shed any light on this.
Lol no.
It was actually fun watching CNN yesterday where almost every reporter went "Well, I had a FEELING something was off! Unnamed sources and all that!".
Even both Leopold and Cormier contradict eachother, one explicitly saying they personally saw all the documents and other evidence and the other explicitly saying they didn't. Doesn't take a genius to see that's a BS story to begin with.
So yeah CNN was REALLY fun to watch for a change.
Also LMAO @ poor souls still defending buzzfeed with semantics. Your hopes must have been shot down so hard, it's incredible you're not getting tired of it.
Maybe you should go work for buzzfeed yourselves seeing as you share the journalistic integrity that consists of orange man bad.

You guys realize that Mueller has not disputed that trump told Cohen to lie right?
Its in the charging documents that he did what he did at the request of client #1.
The only thing Mueller is disputing is the claim of some documentation.
But do run with this.
Of course it means that Mueller has nothing and trump is innocent of every accusation right?
too funny.

This entire Buzz-feed fiasco should wake a lot of people up to how the Media is currently working in the United States....however....it won't.
The US Media is not your friend. They are not their to help or support you. They exist for: No. 1 for profit and No. 2 in order to support No. 1, they need you to believe what they are saying even if they have to outright lie, steal, cheat, deflect, manipulate and coerce you into believing their narrative.
I always think of the Song "Dirty Laundry" by Don Henley when it comes to the US Media.

This is a great theory until you consider their tanking ratings. The "GET TRUMP!" strategy hasn't been making them money. Many of them are more interested in pushing a political agenda than they are in profits.

Buzzfeed should come clean on their sources. At this point, they lost all credibility. They were played as a chess piece. May as well call out the lying source.

I wonder if the one of two "journalists" will lose his Pulitzer.
It's a solid question, right?

The words of a truly deluded fanatic.
Even when presented with incontrovertible refutation, they still refuse to acknowledge the truth.
Yet, their cult-like belief in Russia-something-conspiracy is completely without evidence. They've never been given even a single indication by those who actually matter (ie: those who don't lie for ratings/money), yet will parrot this fake narrative as though it were fact (when it is actually fake - a lie folks like the poster above makes up to fill in the massive gaps in their own ideology)
If the story was only slightly off, Mueller would simply say nothing. He's not obligated to correct press reporting. Further, Mueller has only released a handful of other statements which also criticize exclusively lyin' left wing news sources
Wake up. No one here or elsewhere is buying your lies anymore. Take your broken, tainted, corrupt, morally bankrupt belief system elsewhere. BTW, one last thing.... care to make any more predictions? They've been so accurate this far....... Leave that cultish BS for Tom Clancy novels and washed up cable news reporters.
