I’m sick of rehashing this story, but it’s one of the main news stories of the day. We have to deal.
BuzzFeed wrote a story, accusing Trump of instructing his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, to lie to Congress. The co-authors contradicted themselves after publication, which was awkward, and ultimately, the Special Counsel released this statement:
UPDATE: A spokesperson for the special counsel is disputing BuzzFeed News’ report. https://t.co/BEoMKiDypn pic.twitter.com/GWWfGtyhaE

There. That’s the super speedy recap.
The left isn’t sure what to do about the report. They’re scrambling.
In response to the statement tonight from the Special Counsel's spokesman: We stand by our reporting and the sources who informed it, and we urge the Special Counsel to make clear what he's disputing.

Um. Maybe it’s ALL of it?
Chris Matthews’ take is cracking me up. He’s in a severe state of denial.
MUELLER'S OFFICE: The BuzzFeed article is “not accurate.”
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Not accurate doesn’t mean it’s not true.

Facepalms all around.

Is this the new "Fake, but accurate"?

Is that going to be their new phrase?
The Buzzfeed story gave Matthews a thrill up his leg and he doesn’t want it to go away.
