The Mueller Report

[oxmixmudd]

Really Jim? Where? Be specific.

Already answered. However, if mueller walked back his statement from yesterday, then all bets are off.

Jim

[Mountain Man]

Well, probably because they are negotiating and he yas not yet actually been given a command where he refused to do what was asked.

Jik

He made it pretty clear yesterday that he won't be testifying.

He made it pretty clear yesterday that he won't be testifying.

Because all he has to say is in the report and he has made it clear already, that he thinks Trump committed obstruction.

Because all he has to say is in the report and he has made it clear already, that he refused to say whether or not Trump committed obstruction.

Fixed that for you, gratis.

And liberals like you are happy to let him get away with not testifying when you should be asking, "What questions does the dirty cop not want to answer?"

(You also apparently missed a joint follow-up statement from Mueller and Barr saying that it was never the dirty cop's intent to imply that Trump would have been indicted if he wasn't president but, rather, that Mueller declined to answer the question of obstruction one way or the other and left it to the attorney general to decide.)

It is clear that Mueller wants to avoid having to answer questions under oath. Questions like, at what point did you realize that there was no collusion between Trump and Russia?

And while not saying it he sure did insinuate that Barr lied. The problem is that Barr has numerous witnesses to back him up in his claim that Mueller explicitly stated, multiple times, that the concept that you can't indict a sitting president played no role in influencing his actions. Witnesses that include the hard-core anti-Trumper Rod Rosenstein.

Interestingly, or should I say predictably, the MSM has shown no interest whatsoever in investigating this difference in testimony but has instead simply proclaimed that Barr is lying. End of story. No need to ask Barr -- or Rosenstein or anybody else in the DOJ.

Hey, if he ends up there, you can ask him all about it!

Barr is bound by the same departmental policy that led Mueller to refuse making an accusation...

"After reviewing the Special Counsel's final report on these issues; consulting with Department officials, including the Office of Legal Counsel; and applying the principles of federal prosecution that guide our charging decisions, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and I have concluded that the evidence developed during the Special Counsel's investigation is not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense. Our determination was made without regard to, and is not based on, the constitutional considerations that surround the indictment and criminal prosecution of a sitting president."

I've heard it said that we judge ourselves by our best days, and everybody else by their worst. So I will view your "reliable self-assessment" with reasonable skepticism.
