@BuzzFeedBen @BuzzFeedNews Not his responsibility. That's the risk when reporting is not 100 percent accurate, because Mueller's office is not going to get into a "this part is true; this part isn't" nor should it. This is hugely serious business and reporters on key pieces have to get it 100% correct.

@sf_paladin @BuzzFeedBen @BuzzFeedNews I'm no fan of the president, but I care about journalism and truth. It doesn't get more important than this. Journalists have to get it right - especially when talking about evidence.

@MSNBC It's not Mueller's responsibility to specify what exactly it is he's disputing. A dramatic story of this importance has to be 100% accurate. It's that important.

@stevesi I'm co-chairing Search committee now. The executive we want to hire needs to be focused, have a life, and be friendly and warm, instilling a belief that that there's no other place you'd rather be than here with family and friends having fun. Fun to think about the contrast.
