Curiously silent.
So many pundits and others claim Mueller wrote it for Congress to review and be the arbitrator of yet he's going to just watch it be censored by tRump?

(111,079 posts)What was he thinking when he passed it on to Barr??
Did he not know Barr's position on presidential obstruction?
It's difficult to say until we have read the entire Report. All of it.
But, one would think he would seek to talk to the Congress as soon as possible if his words or meaning were misconstrued??

(45,806 posts)that Justice Dept.thus Mueller's boss. Mueller doesn't have the right to complain to Congress or the Public. The same ethics that demanded he run the investigation seriously, and without l
ks, is the same ethics that prevent him from babbling to the nearest reporter, or contacting one of his friends in Congress to complain about Barr misinterpreting his report.
If he is called to testify to Congress, then he will have the be able to reveal the truth.
I doubt we'll hear from him until then.

Frankly I will not jump to conclusions about Mueller.

Not sure why everyone is now anti Mueller. His "silence"? Perhaps he is just a good investigator and prosecutor and knows when it is the right time to speak.
Patience grasshopper.

(5,937 posts)for suggesting that some were lionizing Mueller and for some, they did, why? I have no idea, there was never any reason to expect Mueller to do anything but follow "orders".
