...just fucked Barr up one night before he testifies to Congress.
And he's about to fuck trump's shit up severely. I imagine yelling and swearing in the White House.
It's. About. To. Get. Interesting.

(6,478 posts)1) Spent time with a lot of experienced lawyers to understand his legal position and ethical boundaries.
2) Put his ducks in a row when it comes to political cover/support.
3) Worked on his testimony...know full well that it was going to happen.
I'm not sure that he's a "savior" but I'm not willing to give up on the idea that he's a country before party republican. I believe there are a few left around DC. In the house, you might count them on one hand (if that). In the Senate, nah....nobody there. But career exec folks, like Mueller and other...just maybe. Not ready to give up hope.

(1,898 posts)... it sounds like Mueller is complaining that Barr did rain accolades on mueller and his team for what a wonderful and thorough job they did.

(147,230 posts)I have a subscription to the Washington Post. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/mueller-complained-that-barrs-letter-did-not-capture-context-of-trump-probe/2019/04/30/d3c8fdb6-6b7b-11e9-a66d-a82d3f3d96d5_story.html?utm_term=.fea3790cfc14
The letter and a subsequent phone call between the two men reveal the degree to which the two longtime colleagues and friends disagreed as they handled the legally and politically fraught task of investigating the president.
At the time Muellers letter was sent to Barr on March 27, Barr had days prior announced that Mueller did not find a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russian officials seeking to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. In his memo to Congress, Barr also said Mueller had not reached a conclusion about whether Trump had tried to obstruct justice, but that Barr reviewed the evidence and found it insufficient to support such a charge.
Justice Department officials said Tuesday that they were taken aback by the tone of Muellers letter, and that it came as a surprise to them that he had such concerns. Until they received the letter, they believed Mueller was in agreement with them on the process of reviewing the report and redacting certain types of information, a process that took several weeks. Barr has testified to Congress previously that Mueller declined the opportunity to review his four-page memo to lawmakers that distilled the essence of the special counsels findings.
This article is great but pisses me off

(11,949 posts)He sees this as the last chance to crack down on the liberal wave that is coming as the old codgers die. He will double down and start using the Justice Department as a means to his desired ends.
He will fail, but it will get ugly.

(54,770 posts)Dont think Obstruction will get trump. It should, but trump hasnt even tried to hide his attempts at obstruction. Its no secret and Congress has done nothing, and electorate seems content to avoid Impeachment.
But, will be nice to see what Mueller says, now. If he sticks with no collusion/conspiracy, he can join Fitzgerald in the Hall of Shame.
