‘NOT ACCURATE’: Even Mueller Denies Buzzfeed’s Michael Cohen Report
A Robert Mueller special counsel’s office spokesperson is explicitly denying the Buzzfeed article alleging that President Donald Trump instructed Michael Cohen to lie with regard to the Russia case.
The article –based on two anonymous sources– included no evidence or verifying information, and actually stated as fact that Mueller’s special counsel’s office was aware of Trump’s supposed instructions to Cohen. Now the credibility of the story is completely destroyed. Mueller obviously feels that the article’s inaccuracy is so vast that it damages his Witch Hunt against the president.

Buzzfeed editor-in-chief Ben Smith is defending the story amid Mueller’s backlash.
Big League Politics’ Peter D’Abrosca reported earlier Friday:
Thursday night, former click-bait site BuzzFeed released an explosive report claiming that President Donald J. Trump directed his former personal attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.
Citing two anonymous federal law enforcement officials “involved in an investigation of the matter,” the alleged news organization ran with the story, which, to be sure, accuses the President of at least one felony.
“The suborning of perjury described in the report, if true, is a federal felony and the clearest evidence of obstruction of justice to date,” said Mediaite.
This morning, one of the investigative reporters (using that term loosely) made a CNN appearance to discuss the “bombshell” revelations, only to admit he had not seen any evidence of the story that he broke.
CNN host Alisyn Camerota asked BuzzFeed’s Anthony Cormier whether he had seen the evidenced in his report.
“Not personally,” Cormier said. “The folks we have talked to — two officials we have spoken to are fully, 100 percent read into that aspect of the Special Counsel’s investigation.”
In other words, this is simply another anonymously sourced bombshell, of the variety that passes for “journalism” in 2019, but is really anti-Trump propaganda promulgated by the mainstream press, which is in charge of public relations for the Democratic Party.
The co-author of the story, Jason Leopold, was scrutinized for incorrect reporting which led to retractions in 2002 while he was employed at Salon, and in 2006 he incorrectly reported that Karl Rove had been indicted.
“He was in trouble for perhaps claiming to have sources he really didn’t have. His stories didn’t wash. Executive directors and editors have had to apologize after some of his big blockbuster stories,” Camerota said in the interview with Cormier.
Despite the reputation of the story’s author, and the flimsiness of the source, BuzzFeed hit the publish button.
“Trump also supported a plan, set up by Cohen, to visit Russia during the presidential campaign, in order to personally meet President Vladimir Putin and jump-start the tower negotiations. ‘Make it happen,”’the sources said Trump told Cohen,” the report said.
“Bombshell” news stories, including CNN’s false report that Donald Trump Jr. colluded with Wikileaks to obtain information that had not yet been made public, and NPR’s false story that Trump Jr. lied to the Senate abut Trump Tower Moscow, have a way of quietly being corrected after left wing news consumers get their dose of anti-Trump propaganda.
This is a calculated tactic, described at great length in my upcoming book, “Enemies: The Press vs. The American People,” which will be on sale on July 16, and you should all order when it becomes available for pre-sale.

Alan Dershowitz: George Soros Personally Requested FBI Investigations During Obama Presidency
If the claims are true, the corruption of the Department of Justice would be worse than feared.
Attorney and political commentator Alan Dershowitz claimed to have discovered shocking new levels of corruption inside the Department of Justice while speaking on Breitbart News Daily on Sunday, stating that infamous oligarch George Soros personally ordered President Barack Obama to investigate an anonymous individual.
“I have some information as well, about the Obama administration, that will be disclosed in a lawsuit… President Obama personally asked the FBI to investigate somebody on behalf of George Soros, who is a close ally of his.”
“President @BarackObama personally asked the @FBI to investigate somebody on behalf of #GeorgeSoros…” –@AlanDersh on @BreitbartNews Sunday with @joelpollak.

Such a development would shatter the credibility of much of the FBI’s operations during Obama’s presidency. The agency has already been reeling in light of an abundance of political scandals in which agents were caught engaging in naked partisan political behavior.
The information is apparently set to be exposed concretely in an upcoming lawsuit.
Career bureaucrats from within and outside the Department of Justice(some of them former department employees) are hectoring for Bill Barr’s resignation, claiming that the reforming Attorney General is damaging the department’s “credibility.” It’s hard to imagine what could harm the credibility of federal law enforcement more than a notorious oligarch personally arranging investigations of his political opponents, but the real scandal according to the bureaucratic elite is Barr overturning a draconian and politically tainted prison sentence aimed at Roger Stone.
Soros is set to funnel unprecedented amounts of his vast multi-billion dollar fortune into influencing the 2020 presidential election. If he proves successful in electing his chosen Democratic candidate, it’s certainly possible the oligarch could use his influence to demand even more politically slanted FBI investigations of those he deems his political enemies.
