Transparency from people in power. show us your tax returns. who did you speak to? where were you on the night of july 29th. whatever. >> sure. >> tucker: when caught making mistakes dlirktly or accidentally refuse to account for them. ntsb leaknbc leaks its own tape with billy bush its own reporter and wont comment on what it did. in the case of buzzfeed, doesnt that publication have a moral obligation, ben smith its editor have a moral obligation to tell us where did you get this? you mislead ...

I think its important for a moment to reflect on this was actually a good day for justice and a very, very good day for the president of the united states also important to say and focus on what the special counsels office actually said. sean, my job as the presidents lawyer legal time is to analyze these team and to respond to what was going on. this frenzy was that going on the last 24 hours. >> let me start with what he actually said. this is from bob muellers office. by the way the first tim...

Clear what hes disputing. do you think theyll actually do that? >> i high hi doubt that. you know, it took them 20 hours to put out this statement, and, you know, the fact that mueller rarely does this, he keeps a very, you know, keeps a very tight ship, i doubt well be hearing much more from him. eric: what about those that say, well, you know, maybe the president did say this -- i mean, theres no proof of that as we know, and they take this and run with it? >> you know, there is no proof of th...

Mueller documentation, e-mails and stuff like that. so presumably, the sourcing was good. if you have two sources like that somewhere in the intelligence community, the fbi, i dont think they would take the story to buzzfeed. i think they would take it to a more major media outlet if they had anything so strong. and the reporter himself has said he has not seen any of this evidence at all. but i think whats going on here is that as we get closer to the mueller report, the media in washington is ...

Read in. >> sean: two reporters for buzzfeed. the other reporter, responsible for this story is a guy by the name of jason leopold. he actually contradicts his co-author. watch this. >> now, your colleague, who you wrote the story with says that neither of you, when you talk about those documents that you guys havent actually seen them. you havent seen the documents, the texts, et cetera. how confident are you that these actually exist that this is true. >> i dont think that we have said we have...

Everyone at buzzfeed should be ashamed of themselves. moments ago, the office of the special counsel issued a statement. they wrote "buzz feeds description of these specific statements to the special counsels office and characterization of documents and testimony obtained byed this office regarding michael cohens congressional testimony are not accurate." not accurate. but are we really surprised? oh, and it even gets better. the editor in chief of busby is actually standing by the reporting, wh...

>> i can only back up joe digenova, bill barr is a quiet professional, and i just spoke to somebody who worked with him at the doj. he is exactly the right man for the job. but with regards to this r story today, sean, its incredibly important that we look at what the media did with it. i thats the -- buzzfeed ran this garbage story because we know its the gutter press. the story is how the media lapped it up and used it for a day to call for the impeachment of the president. thats the story lik...

Reporting about characterization of text messages and e-mails that others were supposedly giving them but they hadnt seen those particular items themselves, although there was some dispute between the two journalists that collaborated on the piece. one said they had and the other said they hadnt. that was odd. that smelled a little fishy. the mueller piece may not be here that every single thing in the story was false. it was inaccurate enough they had to come out and say no. >> go ahead, marie....

>> tucker: welcome pack. kind of an amazing night. washington for the last 24 hours discussing impeachment, indictment, multiple indictments, all of the speculation flowing from a story that broke last night on buzzfeed, a website famous for its cab videos wading into the political realm with a piece claiming that donald trump ordered his personal lawyer, michael cohen to lie under oath to congress. that, of course, would be a felony. that would be on destruction of justice, that would be ground...

Statement for this very simple reason. as soon as bill barr is sworn, in he have a meeting with mr. mueller. he will get a full briefing on the stalls of all the investigation and the first question bill barr was going to ask was that story true? that buzzfeed published? and mr. mueller would say no, it wasnt, mr. attorney general. and bill barr would have said why didnt you refute it? and mueller would have said well, mr. attorney general, we dont do that. and mr. barr would have said well, mr....
