I guess I'm confused what you're implying here. The article quoted directly from the letter. Do you think someone just made that up? Why wouldn't the DoJ explicitly say that the quoted portion was non-existent or inaccurate, if that were the case? They easily could have said this and released whatever letter was actually sent and the credibility of the report would be shot. If there was no letter or it was drastically different than the article reports, wouldn't Mueller correct the record? He has done so before.
