    Saying only 50 people were killed in the Las Vegas shooting is false. It's also inaccurate to say the shooter didn't use a high powered rifle.

    Thanks for proving our point. LOLOLOLOLOL.

    So all of them are factually true. You're just spinning them. Not "fake news" at all.

    Got it. So you say the facts I presented about each of these incidents which provide context and clarity was "spin" but his ignoring the vital facts about each of these incidents while implying they were collusion is "true". I guess it is also true that Britain was bombing Germany in WWII under a heading of something like "Britain's atrocities". Context and facts matter. Fake left wing news and omissions does not.

    Mueller's office disputes parts of BuzzFeed's bombshell on Michael Cohen's congressional testimony as 'not accurate'
    • Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office issued a rare public rebuke on Friday of elements of a stunning report that alleged President Donald Trump directed his former legal counsel to lie in sworn Congressional testimony.
    • "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," a spokesperson told CNBC.

    "The special counsel’s office reviewed evidence to determine if there were ANY documents or witness interviews like those described (by BuzzFeed), reaching out to those they thought might have a stake in the case......They found NONE......People familiar with the matter said the special counsel’s office meant the statement to be a denial of the CENTRAL THESES of the BuzzFeed story."

    You did not listen to him in his testimony? YES there are laws and protections for being who have been invested and he repeatedly under the Democrats repeated questions about it said he will release what he is able to release "under the law".

    AGAIN if you come under an investigation by your local or state of federal DA and they go through everything in your life and then they do not charge you with a crime they do not release all that information to the public, that would violate any right to privacy you have. The process is that Mueller submits his findings to his superiors, the Attorney General, and it goes from there what if anything will be released in the AG report which most likely will cite certain relevant portions.

    And again ABC is saying don't get you hopes up too high.

    Wrong Russia it is alleged hacked DNC emails and got into Hillary campaign emails. The emails Trump JOKED about at a campaign rally were the 30,000 State Department emails Hillary had tried to destroy and the FBI was trying to recover, emails that belong to us the taxpayers and should have been archived for the public to have access except for any containing classified information which some did. It was a joke because the FBI had those servers then they were not online where they could have been hacked. His joke was maybe the Russians could help recovery them.


    Donald Trump 'encourages Russia to hack Clinton emails' BBC News
    Donald Trump has "actively encouraged" foreign powers to hack his presidential rival Hillary Clinton, her camp says. Mrs Clinton did not hand over 30,000 emails as part of an investigation into her private email server as they contained private details "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing ..."

    Yes, of course, but I like the primary definition of Webster's that says "imperfect."
    Are you trying to say Cohen didn't lie to Congress?
    Or are you trying to say he lied to Congress just for the hell of it?
    Do you think the lie was his idea?

    Well no... Mueller said it was inaccurate.
    But give the 3 questions a try anyway.

    So if anyone with a brain pays attention. The latest reports, some misleading, unverified, or fake, all have a purpose. They were needed from the friendly democrat media to start the House investigation into Trump by the three headed snake, Cummings, Schiff and Nadler.

    They have now sent a letter to Whitaker demanding all sorts of things based on those media reports.

    Another word for inaccurate, according to Webster is false.

    I think Cohen lied to Congress. He plead to it...but that’s not what the false buzzfeed article was about. I have no idea why he lied, and yes he was the one that lied, it was his idea.

    I don't think Cohen is that smart to make up a lie like this, but we will see pretty soon.
    Oh, almost forgot.

    Well maybe not...but we do know, based on Mueller's report that the Buzzfeed article saying Trump told him to, was false or inaccurate.

    You voted tRUMP? You support tRUMP?
    Everything in the list is tRUMP and accurate.

    The low IQ of the electorate voted and support the biggest liar in the history of the Prez. Lies so much, he had to partially shut down his own gov't.
    Are his supporters liars also?

    We do know Buzzfeed is a liar...and we also know that the media that ran with the false story about the Catholic High School kids are liars. We do know that...no need to speculate on that.

    true

    So what, he still asked for Russia to do this in a public debate.

    There is no such thing as coincidences. Especially at high levels of campaign or even at a company. Vetting is very thorough. Unless you think tRUMP is a baffoon. A likely excuse.

    Again, are they that stupid in the tRUMP campaign? If so, no one should support such a criminal campaign that was being run. Just look at all those around him that have been convicted. Again, there is no such thing as a coincidence.

    He lies multiple times a day. Everyone knows Comey was fired to thwart the investigation. tRUMP as much as admitted it in one of his rant tweets a few months later.
    At least admitted his firing had nothing to do with hilary or her email.

    Any questions?

    Then Giuliani comes along a few days later and admits tRUMP had contact up to and perhaps through the election. Giving some credence to the story.
