Cuomo: ‘Mueller Didn’t Do the Media Any Favors Tonight’

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo said Special Counsel Robert Mueller "didn't do the media any favors tonight" and handed President Donald Trump a gift when his office refuted a BuzzFeed News report implicating Trump in a felony.

BuzzFeed reported Thursday that Trump had directed longtime attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress, citing two anonymous sources in law enforcement, leading Democrats to say it would be grounds for impeachment if true. However, a spokesman for Mueller's office said in a statement the report was "not accurate."

Discussing the developments with former Obama solicitor general Neal Katyal, Cuomo sounded annoyed.

"Mueller didn’t do the media any favors tonight, and he did do the president one, because as you saw with Rudy Giuliani and as I’m sure you’ll see with the president himself, this allows them to say, ‘You can’t believe it. You can’t believe what you read, you can’t believe what you hear, you can only believe us,'" he said. "‘Even the special counsel says that the media doesn’t get it right.'"

To all the media I say - THE TRUTH HURTS!

Maybe you should tell the truth more and you wouldn't find it so painful!!!

Obviously Cuomo doesn't like the truth and he can't figure why people don't trust the liberal news media.

If mueller's office had not set the record straight on this supposed leak, mueller's investigators would be subject to "special council" investigations on themselves {which prolly isnt a bad idea really....

Too CNN, the truth sometimes can be a kick in the groin.
