The Mueller Report Part 3 - Russian SpearFishing

from Public Access America · host Public Access America

On March 24, Barr sent Congress a four-page letter detailing the report's conclusions. On March 27, Mueller privately wrote to Barr, stating that the March 24 Barr letter "did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this office's work and conclusions", and that this led to "public confusion".[46] Mueller asked Barr to release the report's introduction and executive summaries ahead of the full report; Barr declined, saying he preferred to avoid "piecemeal" release of part of the report before releasing a redacted version of the entire document. Justice Department officials described a March 28 call where Mueller expressed to Barr concerns about public misunderstandings of the obstruction investigation due to media coverage.[48] Mueller's March 27 letter made no mention of media coverage. Also on March 24, Barr's letter stated: "The Special Counsel's decision to describe the facts of his obstruction investigation without reaching any legal conclusions leaves it to the Attorney General to determine whether the conduct described in the report constitutes a crime", further stating that "Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and I have concluded that the evidence developed during the Special Counsel's investigation is not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense".[53][54] On May 1, Barr testified that he "didn't exonerate" Trump on obstruction;[55] and that neither he nor Rosenstein had reviewed the underlying evidence in the report. In his May 29 resignation statement, Mueller stated regarding the investigation: "We concluded that we would not reach a conclusion one way or the other about whether the president committed a crime". Mueller also stated[58] on the report, where he said: "the Constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting president of wrongdoing."[58][59] This suggested that Congress could take over the investigation or start impeachment proceedings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mueller_Report This an an audio narration of the Mueller Report Summary Download the android app for the full report audiol from play.google.com/store/apps/de... or visit MuellerReportAudioBook.com for a web player.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
