You may have noticed that ever since the Inspector General’s report came out last week the media has completely stopped covering the Robert Mueller witch hunt. Even those left wing partisan hacks at the New York Times and Washington Post know Mueller’s game basically ended last week. Now Mueller is fighting back and calling out the New York Times and Washington Post for ‘irresponsible reporting.’ This is of course the same New York Times and Washington Post that Robert Mueller routinely leaks information too which makes it all the more funny.
Sometimes the stories you really care about start out as mere footnotes to government business.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his office just wanted to set the record straight about how former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort came to be arrested by the FBI. Articles from the New York Times and the Washington Post were both cited in a footnote of a filing as examples of “not responsible” reporting, particularly on the claim that authorities picked Manafort’s lock.
Mueller and his prosecutors took issue with reported details that FBI agents conducted a no-knock raid and picked the lock of Manafort’s front door. In the footnote, they quote the court: “But, I do question the publication of the completely unsupported speculation that this revelation was an intentional leak by the Office of the Special Counsel. No reporter had any facts to base that on, so I’m not sure why anyone printed it. It’s not responsible.”
In other words, the leak about this didn’t come from the special counsel’s office and it didn’t happen.
Mueller, et al. pointed to two links to say there was incorrect reporting that “federal agents who executed search warrant a Manafort’s residence did not knock on the front door and picked the lock to enter.
