Very possible. Watergate nerds may remember that one bit where Woodward & Berstein ****ed up a minor detail in their reporting, which gave the Nixon admin ammo to hammer away at them. In the movie, this was the "I'll count to ten and you hang up" bit.

Possibly this was the first time something out-and-out wrong was published and they want to get the record straight. If you're Muller, you do have a public duty to make sure people aren't misinformed about your investigation.

ahaha, 100% this. All of them know full well Trump's a crook, so they by default assumed the story was completely accurate.
