Everyone needs to calm down a bit and see where the reporting by a range of organizations goes. There are many ways to square the Mueller statement and the gist of the Buzzfeed story. Just for instance, what if the precise nature of the lie Cohen ostensibly told is misdescribed?
Or what if the documents supporting the story come from sources other than those described? The point is that the Mueller statement is far from a flat denial of the gist of the story, and the authors of the statement surely know how to write clearly when they want to.
Cable television needs always to tote up the score in real time, but I’ve been reading a good bit about Watergate lately, and history makes a lot of judgments about who “won” a particular news cycle look awfully silly.
