Buzzfeed’s Cohen story would be perceived as a leak from inside Mueller’s gang. Mueller had 2 choices, 1 ignore the article or 2 call it BS. If he opted for 1 he was indirectly admitting a leak which very possibly come back and bite him, DoJ has started to investigate previous leaks to the press. If he opted for 2 he would be covering his ass even though it meant letting Trump off the hook, he opted for 2 Mueller wasn’t being truthful, decent and upstanding, he is still a dirty cop.

Here's the actual statement for those interested:
“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.”
Fwiw, BuzzFeed is standing by its reporting and asking the special counsel to be more specific about which facts it's disputing.
Maybe the BuzzFeed story is totally wrong. I don't know. But this statement is not exactly a clear denial. It's more saying they quibble with particular details. Unclear which details those are though or how important they are.
So I'm withholding judgement until we find out more. But if this does turn out to be true, it'll be interesting to see all the Trump supporters arguing passionately about how there's nothing wrong with directing people to lie to Congress.

Rubbish, they were caught red handed and are trying to fudge the way out of looking like disingenuous assholes. Mueller clearly stated their story is crap. He did it to cover his ass , he doesn’t want to be seen as a leaker which the fake Buzzfeed article implies

Ok, just tossing this out there in case it ends up being true, but what if this is a hail mary pass by the dnc because they know Ginsburg is toast and they need to justify some urgent action to prevent another Trump appointment to the Supreme Court?

Media was full of "IMPEACH NOW" shit today due to this shit. Obviously it was so fake that Mueller, the man who wants to bring down Trump, had to say it was all wrong. Think about that, he could have allowed it to sit out there and pressure to build but even he said enough is enough on it.

Don’t agree with the reason Herr Mueller call BS Buzzfeed’s Cohen story would be perceived as a leak from inside Mueller’s gang. Mueller had 2 choices, 1 ignore the article or 2 call it BS. If he opted for 1 he was indirectly admitting a leak which very possibly come back and bite him, DoJ has started to investigate previous leaks to the press. If he opted for 2 he would be covering his ass even though it meant letting Trump off the hook He opted for 2, he wasn’t being truthful, decent and upstanding, he is still a dirty cop.
