The New York Times building in New York in April 2016. By Erik Wemple Erik Wemple Media critic with a focus on the ups and downs and downs of the cable-news industry. Email Bio Follow Media critic May 14 at 3:32 PM This is the second part of the Erik Wemple Blog’s look at the media implications of the Mueller report.
That crosscutting involvement explains why there are more than 500 mentions of “McGahn” in Volume II of the Mueller report. “I thought early on that [McGahn] was going to be the key and tried to write about everything he was involved in. He was in between Trump and obstructing justice; he was the brake; he was the major guardrail; and he becomes Mueller’s star witness.”
We asked McClatchy whether a correction or retraction might be more appropriate than an editor’s note: Company spokeswoman Jeanne Segal responded: • BuzzFeed launched a cable-news craze with its January story that President Trump had “directed” Cohen to lie to Congress about the Trump Tower Moscow deal. One of the lines in the story, co-written by Jason Leopold and Anthony Cormier, contains this assertion: “It is the first known example of Trump explicitly telling a subordinate to lie directly about his own dealings with Russia.”
During a Lawfare podcast with Benjamin Wittes, Cormier said, “As a journalist, you cannot get the gist right. I have to get it all right. I have to get every single syllable correct. And in this case, I did not, that I wrote that it was an explicit instruction. When, in fact, the evidence shows that it was not explicit.”
Several former American intelligence and law enforcement officials have said that other American agencies have a broader definition, especially when it comes to Russia. They said that President Vladimir V. Putin uses an extensive network of government officials and private citizens with deep links to Russian spy services who supplement the intelligence apparatus and report back to the Kremlin. At least some of the contacts, they said, involved Russians who fit into this category.
American law enforcement and intelligence agencies intercepted the communications around the same time they were discovering evidence that Russia was trying to disrupt the presidential election by hacking into the Democratic National Committee, three of the officials said. The intelligence agencies then sought to learn whether the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians on the hacking or other efforts to influence the election.
Yep! Can’t stage a coup and expect no backlash!
