Russia investigation. The question of impeachment seems to now be a question of timing. This is a very strong argument which impeachment may be a possibility. Obstruction of justice and congress, right there in the heart of impeachment territory. Della line to impeachment, Michael Cohen once again puts another nail in the coffin for the president. David just this morning, the lead reporter on the case was saying this. How confident of you that they actually exist that this is true . I dont think that we said that we havent seen them. But i will say that im very confident. David 100 . Tonight, special counsel bob muellers office took the very, very rare step of publicly commenting on the story for the latest details and we are joined by Tracy Gallagher life in the west coast newsroom, tracy. Good evening, Robert Mueller special counsel as you said issued statements about haleys, and an urgency to quickly knock this down saying and im quoting here buzzfeed description of specific statements to the special counsels office and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office regarding Michael Cohens congressional testimony are not accurate. That is critical because buzzfeed literally laid this at the door of the special counsel saying the special counsels office learned about directive to lie to congress through interviews with multiple witnesses from the Trump Organization and internal company emails, Text Messages and cash of other documents. One of the root reporters admitted he never saw alleged documents. But he did say the special counsel is the one who brought this to Michael Cohen. Watch it. It is hard to see, and we will begin asking questions based off of it. He acknowledged in an interview yes, indeed i was directed by the president. Tonight buzzfeed is saying quote we stand by the reporting and the sources who informed and we urge the special counsel to make clear what he is disputing. Tonight, the editor in chief of buzzfeed was on cnn. Listen. I do think what they did here is extremely confusing. Speak confusing in what way . To all of us, confusing that a day after stories published they come out with this very detailed and very opaque statement. I in the meantime michael kelman commenting that earlier Collins Legal advisor lonnie davis steering clear of buzzfeed altogether, watch. Mr. Cohen and myself, neither deny nor confirm, we are just not commenting on the story and today, another comment. He had nothing to do with the writing of this story. He didnt initiate the story. It was done by independent reporting. So the story stands on its own. And buzzfeed has long had credibility issues including multiple accusations of plagiarizing and stealing original content. Buzzfeed also published the cooperated an end salacious still dossier labeled unverified smear of President Trump. And Jason Leopold the other reporter who wrote this piece is the same person who back in 2006 wrote that then deputy chief of staff karl rove had been indicted by a grand jury. Here is carl. Sensational story that proved problematic but Jason Leopolds name on it, a particularly Anonymous Sources and strikes me as something that we ought to wait and dont make a judgment about until later. Even democrats eager to impeach the president had qualified their comments earlier saying, if the information is true, which apparently, it is not. In 24 hours after buzzfeed ran the story, nobody, not a single media outlet match the reporting reporting. And now, we know why. David. Speed to come a great reporting, joining me now wisconsin congressman sean duff, Kimberley Strassel member of the wall street journal editorial and fox contributor ar advisor to barack obama 2008 president ial cam bait campaign. David let me go to you this first. This is a track record of problematic reporting and it was the breathless reporting by many on the left, congressman, the pendants today, National Security analyst on networks already for impeachment and here we are. What happened . David i would say earlier today i was telling the folks on msnbc to slow down. I will say to the friends on fox news to slow down as well. Listen, this is a cautionary tale. We have a long way to go to see what Robert Mueller has and doesnt have. Remember the reporting from dan smith, buzzfeed said we will stay tuned. We will report the story but no other independent journalist outlets have been able to cooperate the story so lets see if they are able to do so as we dig deeper. I suspect one of the reasons that the meal or team said something, concerns a little bit more about the sourcing than substance. There was an illusion mueller team talked and quoted in the article may be something not attached to the mueller team. I would make one more point the Southern District much more aggressive about what the president did or didnt work versus the team, but this underlines we better wait for the Mueller Report to come out. That is the pivot point here. To you, they have not been waiting. Reporting the end result and then rarely a refraction. Laura i only wish people were waiting. Look, im still waiting for him shep two years ago who claimed the commedia the committee he is on the Senate Approved prompt engaged in collusion but weve yet to see it. We have reporters out there claiming that Michael Cohen was in prong even though Michael Cohen said he had never been there and special counsel documents such as they found no evidence that he ever was. So yeah it would be great of people slow down but look why did everybody jump on this . This is important and the reason people got breathless, there were claims in the story that there were Text Messages and evidence, something that went beyond Michael Cohens word. The belief this was a new bite at the obstruction apple given the whole hope obstruction for firing call me doesnt seem to be panning out. So i think that inspired everyone latching onto this but cautionary tale, indeed. Why dont we sit tight and wait and see what bob mueller has to say . David that would be a great wish, kimberly and i wish people would wait, by the way the president tweeted about this and sean reacted to this, the president tweeting remember, totally discredited dossier paid for by cricket Hillary Clinton and the democrats as Opposition Research in parentheses in which the entire russia probe is baser journalism, but a great day for our country. Sean coming down on the hill and you have seen this play out. Respond to the president s tweet. Day but i dont know a lot of viewers go to buzzfeed to see whats on this website so they run these fallacious articles. And they turned out to not be true, but just as today commit david on buzzfeed, your team dogs from this team you will treasure forever. Another one, who graced the internet with their presence. A third one, 19 absolutely beautifully poached eggs, i literally want to marry. That is what you get from buzzfeed. And that who cnn, msnbc and all the other outlets are sourcing and running all day long about how donald trump, it is true, will be impeached. The bottom line, the leftwing media left the step because they want to impeach donald trump. They hate his voters. They cant impeach him but what they will do is make sure he doesnt get reelected in 2020. Kimberly antibut i will get back to you on President Trump but kimberly is buzzfeed about client unsourced and unnamed sources . Kimberley this is the problem come i think a lot of the journalism industry goes ale way back to even before donald trump came in. I think the journalism sector has really lowered the bar on what used to be basic standards. Even going sometimes when they would say they are Anonymous Sources, they would at least say, for instance, what branch they belong to and what department they were talking to. Whether or not retired officials they were speaking to or current officials. Now we get according to officials, we dont know who, what, where officials at the dmv or officials at the Justice Department . May be theyve been out of politics ten years. We dont know. It really does diminish the ability for people to judge the credibility of stories. One of the important things david one of the things they care about, david to kimberlys point, do they care about credibility . David i think people are searching and hungering for credibility, looking where they can get truth and there are examples on the far left and far right if not finding the truth spending. We have to be diligent. This is a rough day for journalism. Lets see how it plays over the longterm. A call to go higher than standards to double triple checked multiple sources. We have our Favorite Places to go to get truth. They all have to step up their game. We have to slow down and not celebrate muellers report and when it comes to bob mueller i dont want to tell them what to do but you can speed up and lets get this thing going here. Sean request for speeding up reports, request pfizer and there has been activity in washington related to all of this. But yet, we are two years plus into this. David i agree with david, listen, lets get this investigation done and get the report out and have the media pump the brakes a little bit and be a little bit more cautious on the reporting period that would serve the media better and the American People better, but i think the message from what happened today is there will be more fake mainstreaming stories out about donald trump and my fear is bob mueller now doesnt come out and discredit those stories, then left media will see stacy david, it must be true because bob mueller is discredited and that was the gay moving forward. Chris cuomo speaking of the media on cnn tonight saying that Bob Bob Mueller did a disservice so where does this go from here . Sean that is new criticism on bob mueller. David throwing under the bus and attacking it. Sean kimberley here is the highlights that gets to e comments, we need to wrap this up, okay . In my view, a lot of what has happened and special counsels probe has been very disruptive and problematic. The longer it goes on and democrats in congress, look, that is an fundamental change in dynamics. Because i have no doubt when rhys and bob mueller decided he needed to issue a statement is because democrats immediately said that they would investigate this. And that is a serious question. So that will continue. Every time there was another one of these untold stories, here is the attorney general and he sets the deadline. He doesnt say he will impede. He doesnt say you cant do this or that. But look this needs to be finished by this date. So lets finish this up and move on. David well, we can all hope for that but i dont know if we will ever see it. Sean, kimberly, david, thank you. This is just the beginning of the next cycle panel, thank you. I want to drill down on one of the offers in this piece Jason Leopold. You heard what we played earlier, that he is confident, this bombshell, bombshell report was from buzzfeed who stood by him. Jason is one of the best journalist in the world and he has proven it. Buzzfeed news, stands by this story 100 . You probably want to walk that back down to. Buzzfeed wish casting so hard on this story, but before coming out with that statement, they should have checked into his troubled past of making up sources. It goes all the way back to the Bush Administration in his word then, his problems were so bad, even in the journalism review recognized and respected and wants to accuse leopold of being a fabulous, one of the targets of shoddy reporting for murder george w. Bush karl rove sounded off earlier today to my colleague dana perino. David Jason Leopold ran a story for buzzfeed said i had n indicted by a grand jury and recreated cheerful moment in the oval office in which i told president bush i was about ready to be indicted. Said that i told members of the white house staff that i was soon going to be indicted. And all heck broke loose. It was simply not true. There is not an element of truth as to the indictment, grand jury, meeting with the president , you name it. David now, here is a guy i trust in media and hes here to break it down for us. Media reporter and columnist for the hill, joe, quick bay is what im calling it but where does buzzfeed go from this, its a huge blow or is it a huge blow . Speak at six i dont see how they get from the tank count, ag term not only now the special counsel whom never has weighed in on a news report until now, refuting this story, but even i thought about going down this road but given the source buzzfeed appeared to have abused here i walked away from the story. Then even the New York Times said that they were sources tell them that donald trump never instructed, never instructed Michael Cohen went to live. In this situation. So it is really falling apart at this point. You know what it is for me, david, earlier today and you play the clip before before anthony cormier, reported by all accounts telling cnn he didnt see the damning evidence used in this story and then you have Jason Leopold on msnbc telling holly jackson, no, reid seen the evidence, the tube reporter so it so somebody is lying here, obviously. And now its all falling apart, look at another hotel as well, Law Enforcement officials in the story said they are in the fold in an investigation by Anthony Mccarthy on the carlson show. Maybe not the Russian Investigation but some other investigation but to kimberlys point, we dont know the Law Enforcement officials are. Are they at the top of the ring or outside the loop . We dont know. It is a matter of thing first instead of accurate and treating gossip bit gossip as gospel in one of the biggest black eyes and journalism and this remindsa lot of the Michael Flynn story y then abc News ReporterInvestigative Reporter brian ross using one source saying that donald trump during the campaign had directed flynn to reach out to the russians. Brian ross no longer with abc. Boy, this feels a lot like that, david. David joe, it keeps repeating out over the years, you have talked about this and we have covered these issues across the spectrum. And it keeps happening. Is there a lesson not being learned here, or is this really so badly aligned against donald trump that they will put anything out there knowing that they will feed the beast . Joe that is the thing. When these mistakes are made they go one direction, dont they, david come always negative towards this administration. You never see any positive mistakes being made about the Trump Administration where this president. I will leave you with this. Actually surveymonkey, 65 in this poll said that fake news is usually reported because people have an agenda. That is what the American People think 2 out of 3 think that fake News Reporter because people have an agenda. 3 think it happens by accident. So the Public Perception of media not just republicans, but the American People in general outside of the partisans, think that News Reporters not only making things sloppy but actually have an agenda and are making things up. It is incredible. By the way, david congratulations to you by the wait for having the host despite the benefit of White Privilege. That is remarkable but here youre sitting here as a beneficiary. David for the record, joe was one of the first people to hear that story when it happened on my show. I know you got a call from a mutual friend dave. We will see what they do with it, joe, always good to talk to you. Joe i will reveal the source, i went to high school with my friend dave. David david and now we red properly. [laughter] david we need a laugh in this environment, folks. Coming up or of words between donald trump and nancy pelosi intensifies. What she accuse the president of. That is next.
