Mueller ALREADY strongly hinted at the claims in the Buzzfeed report

Read, again, what Mueller said in his sentencing memo for Michael Cohen. Reading between the lines, and knowing what Mueller can't yet say, strongly hints that the BUzzfeed story is true.

The defendant lied to Congress about a business project (the “Moscow Project”) that he worked on during the 2016 presidential campaign, while he served as Executive Vice President at a Manhattan-based real estate company (the “Company”) and as Special Counsel to the owner of the Company (“Individual 1”). The defendant admitted he told these lies—which he made publicly and in submissions to Congress—in order to (1) minimize links between the Moscow Project and Individual 1 and (2) give the false impression that the Moscow Project had ended before the Iowa caucus and the first presidential primaries, in hopes of limiting the ongoing Russia investigations being conducted by Congress and the SCO.
....
During his proffer sessions, the defendant admitted that this account was false and that he had in fact conferred with Individual 1 about contacting the Russian government before reaching out to gauge Russia’s interest in such a meeting.
....
Third, Cohen provided relevant and useful information concerning his contacts with persons connected to the White House during the 2017–2018 time period.

Fourth, Cohen described the circumstances of preparing and circulating his response to the
congressional inquiries, while continuing to accept responsibility for the false statements contained
within it.


Who are the "persons connected to the White House"? The gardner?
Who did he circulate his false testimony to? The White House chef?

as evidence. I want the US public to here the tapes of the fucking moron actually saying it. This is how and why Nixon's base finally turned on him and pressured their GOP reps to ask him to resign. Of course they already didn't care if he said on tape that he grabbed a woman's crotch so who knows where they draw the line now. This is an impeachable offense and brought Nixon down but his base loves Russia now, so they are so far out on left field they may say, "We love all the impeachable offenses, he is shaking up DC like he said he would do".

I do think the evidence is getting so weighty a preponderance of the deplorables will get it, eventually. But a significant number will accept this. It’s mind-boggling. So many have been brainwashed by Fox and RW radio.
