    An interesting aspect is your comment “without being able to prove”. On the other hand kelly conway excoriated the “law enforcement” leaks from the investigation.

    So on one hand there is no public proof, otoh if the investigation has proof it should not be leaked.

    Fwiw, it seems to me that many people testified to similar false stories. This leads me to believe there was some coordination if false testimony...which likely came from the top. And it is likely that in all this there will be further evidence beyond the word of Michael Cohen.... which is what the buzz feed article alleges to be true

    Counsel

    And not quite.
    "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," said special counsel spokesman Peter Carr in a statement.
    https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/18/politics/mueller-statement-buzzfeed/index.html

    It remains to be seen exactly where the inaccuracies lie.

    I have no need to calm down that facts are on my side. You have seen the breaking news tonight, perhaps you can calm down now.

    Yeah, blah-blah, but I noticed that you couldn't create a FACTUAL refutation of anything I said. Honestly, after re-reading your drivel, I doubt that you even know what a 'refutation' is....

    Exactly. Perhaps the inaccuracy is that the statements were made to the SDNY office, and not Mueller's office.

    Honestly Lefties? When does this ridiculous crap stop? When do you return to being Americans that accept the results of an election?

    A collective national slap needs to happen across the faces of our corrupt Mainstream Media. You Leftists need to stop with the hysterics.

    Good grief CNN and MSNBC are STILL trying to claim it may be true, almost claiming the Mueller office is lying.

    What "facts" did you cite to my law-challenged chu?

    You cited to your own notion of what you think the law ought to be, not what it is. And, no--I won't get off your lawn.

    You obviously know nothing about national security regulations as they pertain to classified information -- whether 'military' or not! Got any friends in the NSA? Ask them! Don't take my word for it! The 'military' departments are not the only federal organizations with security protocols -- not by a LONG shot.... But, if you've had no experience in any of these matters, how would you know...?

    Another epic defeat. Licking his wounds, again. He'll be around with more fake news as soon as he can.

    I'm on a phone and don't know how to link on a phone (just from my PC).

    All three cable networks are reporting it on TV and their websites.

    "Regulations".

    Exactly.

    Do you still fail to comprehend why you're wrong?

    BTW, the military regs that you're citing to don NOT apply to the SOS. Were you unaware of that?

    Go educate yourself concerning what a "SCIF" is, and why it is required for all transmissions that contain classified information. After you do that, we may be able to have an intelligent discussion regarding the crimes that Hillary got completely away with, thanks to Comey, Lynch, and that America-hating moron both of them worked for....

    But, again, as far as Trump is concerned, let's see the evidence, let's see the proof, let's see charges filed against him, either in Congress or in a court. Hold nothing back! Let's get the TRUTH out where the entire public can see it -- not hidden, manipulated, and completely mishandled, like Hillary's criminal malfeasance was!

    How about Mueller saying the story is false, does the equal Jesus Christ and Gandi debunking the story for you?

    Mueller does not clearly say that the story is false!

    It's like you haven't read the Mueller office debunking the story.
