    This is a good reminder (to myself) that nobody knows what the hell Mueller has, and we need to pump the brakes and wait for him to release his findings.

    Ben Smith, editor-in-chief of buzzfeednews on Maddow


    • ⁠They gave a summary of the article to the SCO for comment before publishing. The SCO responded with statements Cohen gave in court.

    • ⁠The sources are federal law enforcement involved in the Russia case.

    • ⁠The sources were given opportunities before and after publication to dispute what was to be published. There was no dispute.

    • ⁠Smith is aware the seriousness of the claims being made by the SCO. They would like to know what is not accurate. They continue to stand by the story.

    Exactly, there's no world where solid evidence of crimes committed by the president that could lead to impeachment while there is an active witch hunt going on isn't enough to get immunity from damn near any crime. Then again, people just want to believe I guess.

    If that was true, he wouldn't be about to head to prison. He'd have traded that for immunity. I'm sure if you think about it for even a second you'll realize that.

    Haha, my buzzfeed thread got moderated. 15 threads a day talking crap about trump duplicating conversation but the buzzfeed fiasco doesnt deserve it's own thread. I am out of here. It has been fun.

    Catch me in the GARM. I have enjoyed the conversation.

    The Buzzfeed reporter who broke the story says it's "rock solid."

    " . . . CNN asked Cormier if he has directly seen evidence that Trump directed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress, i.e. the emails, texts, and other documents mentioned in the story.

    "'No, I have not seen it personally,' Cormier said while adding that the two law enforcement officials mentioned in the report are 'fully 100 percent read in to that aspect of the special counsel's investigation.' Cormier said his sources began to compile evidence that Trump suborned perjury even before Cohen started to cooperate with Robert Mueller, and 'it's our understanding that this is rock solid information developed over the course of a long period of time.'"​

    Just want to say again how thrilled I am that the wingnuts have confidence in Mueller as a reliable arbiter of facts.

    I noticed that.

    First thread in the 9 years I've been posting in the D&D that got locked.

    Threads can have posts from as many sides as there are for an issue. It isn't like each thread is reserved for only one side.

    The house was threatening impeachment proceedings based on the buzzfeed article.

    If I'm Mueller, the last thing I want is for impeachment before my investigation is finalized.

    Is everything in the bf article 100% on lock? Probably not since articles by nature are a small game of telephone. But the people behind it have serious credentials. I trust their thesis.

    Mueller wants to throw the brakes on impeachment. And I don't really blame him.

    This will be a very, very short lived reprieve for Trump apologists before Mueller turns back into untrustable public enemy #1 for them.
