Robert Mueller: Establishment Media Are Pushing Fake Trump-Russia Claims
breitbart.com ^ | April 17, 2018

Posted on 04/17/2018 10:11:50 AM PDT by Helicondelta

A spokesperson for the office of special counsel Robert Mueller has released a warning about the media’s “many” fake news reports regarding the investigation into President Trump and Russian collusion, reports the Washington Times.

“What I have been telling all reporters is that many stories about ohur investigation have been inaccurate,” the Mueller spokesperson said. “Be very cautious about any source that claims to have knowledge about our investigation and dig deep into what they claim before reporting on it. If another outlet reports something, don’t run with it unless you have your own sourcing to back it up.”

The speculation is that while the Mueller statement references “many” instances of fake news, it was prompted by a Friday McClatchy report that claimed Mueller had uncovered proof that Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen, had, in fact, visited Prague in August 2016.

Unless you have a story about Mueller corruption. Those are all true. Run with them.

A caution about Friday’s stories, or about the direction of the entire investigation, as you have discussed?

Mueller, Andrew Weissmann, the FBI and the Mob, by Sara Carter.

“Many have suggested (Mueller) never should have been FBI Director, a position in which he then hired Weissmann to be his counsel – and, of course, Weissman presided over the No. 1 most corrupt relationship between an FBI agent (Lyn Devecchio) and his informant (Greg Scarpa, Sr.),” Schoen said.

Just a guess.

Mueller’s part of the mission is almost done. He will hand the witch-hunt baton to someone else. Probably the Attorney for NY Southern District.

Yes. Cohen vehemently denied that. They figured out that they pushed it too far and had to talk it back. Fortunately, this can be used to discredit ALL of these sorts of stories.

Mueller’s spokesman told the media any future fake claims will come from Mueller himself.

Absolutely! He wants to get out there and write that book while the subject is still hot! Why should Comey be the only one making money?

I hope we will all be able to read Comey’s book for free (if you have a strong stomach) once it becomes part of the FBI evidence package for his prosecution. We need to wake up Sessions and have Wray arrest Comey first, though. Ask Larry Sinclair how your ‘bombshell’ book makes no money once it is published by the court.

I agree....he's right at the tail end. I wouldn't be surprised if we were just a week away. He wants out....and has nothing.

Mueller's big achievement was the indictment of the Russian facebook contributors which the twerp Zucky flagged with his "No Freedom of the Press" policies. I'm betting they NEVER said one thing that the Press hadn't said first.

Thanks Helicondelta. How fast will the implosion come? How much will the society have to spend on mood-stabilizing prescriptions after the leftists' and Demwits' delusional bubble collapses?
