Chuck Rosenberg is saying he thinks the wording of the Mueller statement is that the Buzzfeed report is likely true at its core, based on court filings but they're trying to keep some of it under wraps for investigative purposes.

1. I was watching and what he said was reassuring.

2. YEP. Some of the threadmakers around here need to watch that segment.

Chuck said his interpretation is that the core of the Buzzfeed story remains intact.

3. So today's statement was more about discouraging leaking

than anything else? Let's hope so.

6. They should have just published the core and left out the not accurate parts

4. My reading - and fact Mueller's team said anything at all -- is that it's more than minor inaccuracy

It did not help the cause of removing trump.

7. Why would Mueller issue a statement over a minor inaccuracy?

[agingdem]

8. not accurate doesn't mean it's bogus

and Mueller's statement leads me to believe there is much more to the story

[oberliner]

9. It means they should not have published the story

5. Mueller wants us to know that he didn't leak the story to BuzzFeed

The BuzzFeed reporter got the story somewhere else, not from Mueller. Maybe he got it from SDNY, who knows? Mueller doesn't deny the story, he just wants to make sure nobody thinks he leaked it. Also it looks to me like he might be trying to take some heat off of Michael Cohen because Cheeto is threatening his father-in-law.

Everybody calm down and have a glass of wine.
