Now that the Speical Counsel’s Office blowing the big BuzzFeed News scoop on Michael Cohen out of the water, here are a few libs responding to the news…
Chris Hayes finds it “a little odd”:
Also notable they declined comment in the story itself and then released this *22 hours* after it published. Which is a little odd.

And he thinks the office staffed with dozens of lawyers drafted a “pretty lawyerly” response:
The Carr denial is fascinating and also pretty lawyerly: "description of specific statements" and "characterization"

Obama bro Jon Favreau thinks it raised more questions:
Wow. So many questions here. Why did they wait so long to issue a statement? If the whole story is wrong, why not say the whole story is wrong, instead of saying “description of specific statements?” https://t.co/heD5kKVQ3U

And journo Michael Cohen finds it “so bizarre”:
This is so bizarre. Why would Mueller’s office comment on this story, when it so rarely comments on any story? And this statement is so frustratingly vague as to what about the article is not accurate. https://t.co/5fe9qdMTza

And “very strange”:
And why didn’t they comment when first asked by Buzzfeed and instead let it sit out there for a day? This is very strange

LOL. It’s like they all just lost their puppies.
