Except that Buzzfeed has doubled down and defended their reporting, and Rudy Giuliani has basically admitted that Trump talked to Cohen about his testimony which pretty much confirms the basis of the story. It's more of a question of what in that report Mueller's office is disputing, and we don't know what that is.
Throwing the term fake news around constantly doesn't help your case that you are just looking for accurate reporting.

Thanks for answering. I don't care if you read Breibart or not, but I'm calling BS on you not watching Fox News... It is so sad that your worldview is governed by whether a person follows a particular media source. Whatever happened to gaining facts and forming opinions there on? You cannot conceive that a person can do this? My worldview? Ha! The only fact here is that your views align with Fox News at almost 100%. Since I was watching our game, I couldn't catch the 9:00 PM news programs so I cannot tell you if FN's position re: Covington HS kids aligns with your own. Sorry.

Which is it, as you cannot have it both ways. As far as Giuliani, I have no idea what he is talking about, and I doubt that he does. But speaking to someone about testimony, if true, is not necessarily the same as urging someone to lie. I submit that this will all come out in the wash, but your banking on the reporting of a "serial fabulist" who has been refuted by Mueller no less seems like grasping at straws.

Your obsession over whether another poster watches Fox News and insisting that he does despite repeated statements that he does not borders on obsession. For the thousandth time, I do not form my opinions based upon slanted cable news propaganda outfits -- not Fox, CNN, or MSNBC. Nor do I jump at "too good to be true" reporting like Buzzfeed/Cohen, or the false reporting of CNN with the "Vietnam Era Veteran Native American Elder Vietnam Era Veteran"!

How can you rail against fake news and support a President who tells 11 lies a day on average.
Part of the reason Trump can't make any deals is nobody believes a word he says. The biggest source of Fake News lives at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue.

Which is it, as you cannot have it both ways. I realize nuance might be tough for you, but Mueller's office statement says two things are inaccurate : - description of specific statements to the special counsel's office - characterization of documents + testimony received by SCO There's ample room in there for both Mueller and Buzzfeed to be right and for this to be tied up in semantic questions. Then why is he the President's lawyer?

I think Rudy is way over the hill and think that he does more harm than good ("good", from his client's perspective).

Yeah, this falls more under the category of "Republicans will throw anyone at all under the bus to try to protect Donald Trump".

Stick to being an attorney because your armchair psychology game is not strong. You're the one linking babylonbee and saying that it made you think of those here. What did I read into that? The link is to show how you all fall for fake news. I don't think you know what "all" means.

What is Trump's end game here? Does he think that Pelosi and Schumer will change their minds about border wall funding if he unilaterally shuts down the government (even if partially) after a bi-partisan bill was approved in both houses of Congress? Doesn't he see that it won't be any better for his chances once the Democrats take control of the House of Representatives in January? I know this is a rhetorical question. . .but just how stupid is he? Five weeks later, we know the answer to my question. He had no end game.

The nation's senior-most intel officials are making clear many of Trump's claims are not based on intelligence: - ISIS is not defeated - North Korea is not denuclearizing - Russia still interfering in US elections - Climate change is real & endangers US national security

The same goes for anyone who will admit they supported and voted for the malignancy occupying the White House: There was a window of time during which giving Trump a chance was justifiable out of a sense of duty to country. You might have been vindicated for doing so if Trump had surprised us all and made good on his boast that, “with the exception of the late, great Abraham Lincoln, I can be more presidential than any president that’s ever held this office.” But that window closed. You had ample opportunity to see, up close, the capriciousness, vainglory and allergic reaction to facts that the rest of us saw from afar. If you’re just now disavowing Trump, or explaining away your support for him, don’t bother. You own it. Leaving 2016 to 2019 blank on your LinkedIn page won’t save you from disgrace. www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/02/01/if-youre-still-working-trump-his-stink-wont-ever-wash-off/?utm_term=.de958243f8bd

I thought I retired 5 years ago this month. Little did I know I am actually in extended "Executive Time" - watching TV, reading newspapers, and playing golf.

Next time, try employing dozens of undocumented workers in your businesses for a couple decades and falsify their work permits. Oh, and aim higher than UN Ambassador. 😶
