No. If Barr's testimony were not true, do you honestly think Mueller would be silent?That's what

BTW, the document that is the subject of this thread has passed 800 signers. Over 800 current or former federal prosecutors saying had these facts come to light on any normal person, they would have been indicted on obstruction. Comey has also weighed in and said that is also what he sees, especially in the case of McGahn.

And to circle back to something you said earlier:
Originally posted by oxmixmudd View Post...it's possible you could be right - if it can be shown that in each case where he acted in a way that would have interfered with the investigation it could be shown his intent was not to interfere with the investigation.
Attorney General William Barr's letter to Congress:
Now contrast this with the case in the editorial you used to kick off this thread where the suspect was found to have committed a number of crimes, and witness tampering was just the icing on the cake. Here's the thing: we know for a fact, beyond any doubt, that Trump was and is innocent of any of the crimes being investigated by Mueller; therefore, we must necessarily view the President's actions as those of an innocent man. Now tell me, how easy do you think it would be to prove beyond reasonable doubt that an innocent man was acting with corrupt intent? That is the mile-high hurdle any prosecutor would have to clear in order to get a conviction against Trump.

We just don't know whether Mueller "would be silent" or not, he's notoriously discreet.
But we do know that he's already had occasion to intervene regarding Barr's Summary. So he clearly has had some reservations.That's what

Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostAccording to Barr, he wasn't silent. He and Barr spoke on the phone and he told Barr that the press had it wrong. So, unless you think Barr lied, and his team went along with it (and seeing the volume of leaks in this day and age, I don't see how that is possible), then you have no reason to doubt Barr's claim. And until Mueller testifies, or Barr is forced to provide the transcript of the conversation, you either have to a priori believe Barr or believe he is lying."Down in the lowlands, where the water is deep,
