re: #143 goddamnedfrank

Saw that yesterday, and Marcy is right — Buzzfeed did oversell the “lying at Trump’s command” angle. There’s some good information in the story (even though I’m really not a fan of Jason Leopold), but the outright accusation that Trump ordered Cohen to lie to Congress isn’t supported well enough.

To me, this looks like an editorial failure. Someone should have stepped in and toned down that angle. They were looking for the clicks and they got them.
