The underlying claim can be true while some of the other assertions are not accurate.

This is the way lawyers talk.

The part referencing the Special Counsel’s office. He did not dispute any part of MF45 instructing Cohen to lie. I thinks it’s okay!

Seems pretty significant since they don't usually issue statements.

with Jason Leopold. MSM should have thought long and hard before running with this story. Congress needs to influence Mueller to come forth with what he actually does have. I'm worried this investigation could continue into perpetuity. Like a second term where we are all encouraged to start learning Russian. I'm worried that he doesn't actually have anything on 45. Good lord.

"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," said special counsel spokesman Peter Carr in a statement.

Carr's statement is extremely rare. The special counsel's office has almost never commented on published stories.

This is a breaking story and will be updated.

Sorry, but that’s pretty damning.

People trying to twist themselves into pretzels here trying to believe what they want to believe.
