Mueller 'to testify about Trump-Russia investigation

As it emerged Mr Mueller had written to the department of justice to say he did not believe attorney general William Barr’s four-page summary of his 450-page report correctly captured its context and content, a Democratic congressman said the 74-year-old special counsel would likely appear some time this month. It would be the first public appearance by Mr Mueller for more than two years.

The head of the House of Representatives’ judiciary committee, Jerry Nadler, told news agency Reuters it was important the former FBI director testified: “which they've agreed to do subject to setting a date, and we'll see if they do that, sometime in May.”

Mr Mueller’s report revealed 11 instances where the behaviour of the president or officials related to his campaign might have amounted to obstruction. The report also said that the Trump campaign was “receptive” to assistance from Moscow during the 2016 election and expected to benefit from Russian interference.

Mr Mueller also wrote: “While this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”

Mr Mueller said in his report that he believed his hands were tied over criminal charges by DoJ rules that prevented a sitting president from facing such action. However, he made it clear that he did not exonerate Mr Trump of obstruction of justice but left the decision about whether to chase criminal charges to the attorney general. Mr Barr and his deputy, Rod Rosenstein, said that they believed the actions mentioned in the report did not rise to the level needed for a criminal prosecution.

I'm not convinced Barr is a unique person. I think it's just Steve Bannon when he takes a shower and finds his razor, comb and sweater

Have we ever seen them in the same place at the same time?

Hours before Attorney General William Barr was set to testify Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee, media outlets reported that special counsel Robert Mueller had written a letter challenging Barr’s initial summary of his report.

A copy of that letter, dated March 27, was given to the House Judiciary Committee moments before Barr was due to appear before senators during Wednesday’s hearing.

In the letter, Mueller said Barr’s four-page summary of the Russia report, which Barr released March 24, “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this Office’s work and conclusions.”

The special counsel said he and his team communicated the concern to the Justice Department on March 25.

“There is now public confusion about critical aspects of the results of our investigation,” Mueller added. “This threatens to undermine a central purpose for which the Department appointed the Special Counsel: to assure full public confidence in the outcome of the investigations.”

Why is he going to testify at his own tribunal? Mueller is literally about to get fucking hanged.

Lol, you libtards crack me up with your fake news and rhetoric. See y'all in the FISA courts, and DoJ SOON!

apparently, you haven't read what Mueller said about Barr's 'assessment' of the Mueller report, and in particular about obstruction of justice

Not being mean or rude, but it appears that you're the one who's uninformed

total legit news

Literally no matter what Mueller says, Democrats will interpret it as proving Trump obstructed and colluded and Republicans will say it proves Trump is exonerated. It's like a $35M Rorschach figure that no one is willing to interpret in good faith.

Who gives a shit about the 4 page report? Barr released the full version to Congress already, there's nothing to be misinterpreted at this point.

Minus the tons of redacted content

BREAKING NEWS
Survey finds that literally nobody cares about this Democrat hoax anymore
With CNNs already embarrassingly low viewership dropping 25% week over week, the real question is: if boomers cry wolf and nobody is around to hear it, is it still treason?

It's not redacted for Congress, they can read the full report. Of course, none of them did, because nobody in this clown show is operating with a shed of dignity or good faith

Correction:

None of them have seen the unredacted version
and only two of them have seen a LESS redacted version

did i say they saw it? i said they can see it if they want. i said they haven't because they don't want to. notice how only two people even took the effort to see the less redacted version? and theyre Republicans. the Democrats know it's a dead horse. Like Sen. Collins, who read the less redacted report, quoted in the article you cited, said “It didn’t change anything,”. the Democrats know the redactions don't contain information that significantly alters the conclusions of the report. they're more interested in trying to tangle Barr up in manufactured process crimes for voluntary post report clown show proceedings.

also kys for reading Politmeme and thinking you're informed

That same story was carried on the associated press wire, and was covered by all the outlets.

I simply clicked on politico so you wouldn't think I had gone to one of the three or four major 'mem' sites

yor iq is redacted

actually thinking congress isn't chomping at the bit to read the unredacted report, or that it's been made available.

spotted the idiot who doesn't keep up with the actual news but pretends he's an expert anyway

the boy in the bubble offers his wisdom

Hey genius, your own article says Congress can go look at the unredacted report, minus grand jury info, right now. How many have actually done that? Two. How many of them are Democrats? Zero. How are they chomping at anything other than their own lies? Getring grand jury info declassified for congress is easy, its just a request away. Who has made this request? No one because everyone knows the redacted info doesn't change the conclusions. Cope harder. The hoax is dead.

Say it with me:
No collusion
No obstruction
No crimes
No indictments
No one left believing this meme of a hoax

it's just like socialism, it maybe failed little, but this wasn't true investigation, I'm sure they'll make it right next time

who cares

No. The article didn't say that at all. It said a LESS redacted report has been seen by two of them. If you're so stupid you think they wouldn't get their hands on the unredacted version if it was possible, then you're even dumber than the boy in the bubble

The only thing that is worth mentioning about the subject is how Robert Mueller wrote a scathing accusation against William Barr, claiming that his summary of the Mueller report was complete bullshit.

Since Robert Mueller created the original report oh, I guess it's safe to say his opinion is the only one that matters……..

Or perhaps the opinion of the imageboard boy in the bubble carries more weight?

Mueller: "William Barr lied in his summary about my report"

Boy In The Bubble: "I know more than Mueller"

lmao, look at you gas lighting and telling provable lies. this is the absolute state of "the reeeesistance" - lie and shift goalposts and hope the passive onlookers dont fact check your obvious gaps in truth and requisite context. I do sometimes wonder if you ever tire of making a clown of yourself like the Democrats in Congress who wouldn't know a good faith argument if it was attached to a $500k speaking fee from a Russian Financial Corporation

And what did Mueller say about whether the Trump adminiatration conspired with Russia during the 2016 election?

and just to demonstrate what a disingenuous, obfuscating, lying rat you are


>In that call, Mueller said he was concerned that media coverage of the obstruction probe was misguided and creating public misunderstandings about the office’s work, according to Justice Department officials. Mueller did not express similar concerns about the public discussion of the investigation of Russia’s election interference, the officials said. Barr has testified previously that he did not know whether Mueller supported his conclusion on obstruction.

When Barr pressed Mueller on whether he thought Barr’s memo to Congress was inaccurate, Mueller said he did not but felt that the media coverage of it was misinterpreting the investigation, officials said.

In their call, Barr also took issue with Mueller calling his memo a “summary,” saying he had never intended to summarize the voluminous report, but instead provide an account of its top conclusions, officials said.

Still just making it up as you go along, I see

i value your opinion, sir

But then I like to lick public toilets

you live in an echo chamber, not a bubble, and the facts that you check are your own voice reverberating back to you

thou shall not kill

This is a memo from the bible

it is accurate

it's also one fucking sentence from it

you dirty trollop

You know "conspired" is something Trump interjected and wasn't even the issue of the investigation

what did he say about collusion then you disingenuous faggot

That wasn't what the investigation was about either.

But what he said was Trump and his campaign went along with and actively benefited from Russian interference in the US election

Trump still has not taken any action against russia for their election interference, after criticizing obama for not doing enough (even though obama put sanctions on russia - which trump removed)
Trump is a russian shill of the highest order. I heard he and putin had a conversation today to figure out what they're going to do about the next election.

red head=sides with the reds. coincidence? I think not.

lmao imagine falling for this meme

lmao i see you're still stuck in the denial stage of grief

look at those goalposts go!

trump asked russia to hack hilary's emails. his son set up meetings with russian government officials. "no collusion" has a pretty wide definition. meanwhile trump was still trying to get buildings built in russia during the election and continues to believe putin over all of his own intelligence agencies that told him putin hacked the election. trump doesn't care, because they did it for him. see how much he cares if someone else hacks the election for a different candidate.

that was a joke, and everybody including the Chinese already had a backdoor into her illegal private server anyways. Russia does not wait for orders to try and hack us officials, you can rest assured Russia has been going after Clinton's communications since the 90s.

Not only is that not illegal, it was an FBI set up that resulted in nothing. Even the NYT admits as much.

that's not illegal and he DIDNT build it anyways. He currently ownes properties all over the world, stupid. Is he a Chinese agent too because he has business investments in China? Maybe he should have taken $500,000 "speaking fees" from Russian banks like Hillary, since that never seemed to be a red flag to you.

Oh no, he's ignoring the neocon corporate MIC bag holders at the CIA and NSA! Notice how all of the major intel heads have been quietly resigning lately? They're a bunch of Obama-holdover bureaucrats who ran the illegal spying operation against Trump in the first place. Why would he trust any of them? I sure dont

lmao

your entire message is full of idiocy.

Not a joke when you say it publicly like that so that putin is sure to get the message. That way you don't need to make any personal phone calls that are monitored. trump knows this, that's why he did it that way, and then played it off as a "joke." This is obvious to anyone who has seen how trump operates the past few years.

No, it was not set up by anyone but russians and trump's campaign people. You're getting your facts mixed up. Also, it's called treason.


this is the typical trumptard response. its these kinds of business conflicts that are why presidents must divest themselves of their businesses, (which trump did not really do) and also why people want to see his taxes (which trump has not done, the only president in decades) yes, if he's doing business in china (he gets all his ties made there, ivanka gets stuff made there) then he also can't be trusted in his dealings with china as well. trump has received millions of dollars from russian business. the NRA also received about 30 million from russia, and coincidentally, contributed about 30 million to trump's campaign, the most they've ever donated. the fact this doesn't bother you shows that you don't care much about how the elite has corrupted government and allowed the swamp to fill to unprecedented levels under trump, after he campaigned that he would drain the swamp.


typical trumptard nonsense again. they're not "obama" holdovers. most of them have been working in their depts. for decades, for multiple presidents, democrat and republican. They are patriotic, which is why they are resigning. Trump is not a patriot. He's a narcissistic asshole who has sold out everything america stands for. Breaking as much of the constitution as possible, subverting democracy, ruining america's place on the world stage, etc. He's easily the most unamerican president the US has ever had. I used to think it was a quaint thing to think "oh trump's a russian shill, they have something on him, he's like a manchurian candidate, whatever" and grin at the silliness, then it was just one thing after another slowly wiped the grin off my face as I realize he's all that and more. He may as well have named Putin as his vice president.
and no, there was no "illegal" spying operation done on trump. I understand you got your facts wrong, because they come from a trump tweet. You should know by now trump is a liar.
You know the saying "oh what a tangled web we weave, when we practice to deceive?" well trump has just tangled himself up in his own bullshit, contradicting his own 2 year long narrative…

what are you laughing at? you don't trust your own country's intel agencies? You're just as much a treasonous pos as trump then. they're the most honorable employees in government. Wait, like trump, you simply ignore all the evidence and take putin at his word, because he said so, right? I guess that makes you about the same as trump's 86 IQ then, if that's all it takes to convince you.

tldr: people in this thread are russian shills, or traitors to their own country.

This some funny shit, the atty. general has the final say. he says it's bullshit. in fact he says there is enough evidence of the previous administration spying and interfering with the election of our currently elected president to go hogwild. Eat shit granpaw glownigger, your a faggot.

The attorney general, like trump, swore to uphold the constitution and make america his first priority. Instead, like trump, he's made trump his first priority. He's just part of the daisy chain of republicans (I use the term very loosely, as they don't even resemble themselves anymore) sucking trump's dick, while trump sucks putin's.
