Trump will use the Mueller denial of Buzzfeed's big story to a) drag the Steele dossier again, b) decry fake news, c) claim he's still the victim of a witch-hunt even though Mueller's denial proves he isn't.

Nice try, but the report is that Cohen simply corroborated and confirmed a narrative based on emails, texts, other documentary evidence, and witnesses from the Trump Organization. Attacks on Cohen won’t cut it. Try again. https://t.co/NIgf3uZvOf

So, Lindsey Graham is with Erdogan, Mike Pompeo's with North Korea, John Bolton is asking the Pentagon for plans to go to war with Iran, Russia is moving nukes to Ukraine's border, and Trump stopped Pelosi from meeting with NATO.
