Another day, many more GOP liesā€¦

IMPEACH BARR!

Now why would Barr want Mueller also to violate DOJ policy like Barr did when he refused to recuse himself from overseeing the Special Counsel?

NOW you say that Barr. I guess somewhere in your toady little body there is an inkling that working for Trump may not do much for your reputation. Too late now.

Mueller said he could clear Trump, but Trumpā€™s conduct made that impossible. Mueller also said, despite
Trumpā€™s conduct, he could not so much as accuse Trump due to the OLC guidelines. In other words, no one at Justice could ā€œdecideā€ the obstruction question. Thatā€™s why Mueller has pointed to Congressā€™s ability to investigate, accuse, and try the president.

" and I felt it was necessary for us as the heads of the department to reach that decision.ā€

You made a decision. But a wrong one.

ā€œBarr issued a mild critique of special counsel Robert Mueller in a clip of interview with ā€˜CBS This Morningā€™ā€¦ā€

And Iā€™ll lay 10 100 1000 to 1 odds the talking-head interviewer hasnā€™t even read the Mueller Report.

(Let alone the average American voter.)

Which pretty much was what motivated Mueller to give his presser in the first place.

And why having Mueller appear before a House committee, even if his testimony reveals ā€œnothing beyond the contents of the reportā€ ā€“ on primetime television with breathless news coverage ā€“ works for me.

It has been over 3 weeks since Slow-walking Jerry Nadler and the House Judiciary Committee voted to hold Billy Barr in contempt of Congress.

Nancy Pelosi still hasnā€™t scheduled a vote in the full House on the Contempt motion.

Over 3 weeks.

Meanwhile, Billy Barr is literally making jokes and laughing at her.

ā€œHe could have reached a decisionā€¦ which I would have overruled but, hey, it was a lot easier for me when he decided to follow DOJ guidelines instead.ā€

Barr further went on to say:

ā€œCan you imagine! Following rules just because theyā€™re there! What a dupe!ā€

After which he just walked away from the press conference laughing and muttering ā€œwhat a bunch of suckersā€ under his breath.

Your original precis claimed Mueller HAD reached a conclusion.

Did you have to lie?

Cover Your Ass! Barr is trying to justify lying to the American people.

He doing CYA. If Mueller says he was forbidden to indict because only the Congress has the remedies, given the DOJ rules, the by the same token, Barr had no legal right to ā€œexonerateā€ Trump according to the DOJ rules.

His decision is subject to Congressional Oversight review.

I guess this just shows Barr himself NEVER READ THE REPORT HIMSELF !! He looks like a talker, not a reader or listener, just like his boss. He needs to be Impeached to lube up the guillotine and because he is a toady Jabba da Hutt look alike.
