That does not make them competent journalists, though.
No, it makes Jason the sort of journalist you don’t jump at trusting before everyone else gets a shot at corroborating imo. He’s clearly sloppy at times and will run with stories others don’t feel confident in doing so...clearly sometimes for good reason. He’s also done a lot of reporting that has been downright great, so be cautious, but not dismissive seems wise.
And to be clear, we also don’t exactly know what the Special Counsel is contesting? Some deviation in the details or the entire arc?
And as a side note, we also already know that Trump has suborned perjury on several occasions. Most notably directing his son in written documents to lie to congress. Which Marcy Wheeer was pointing out again last night.
