Of course, Trump should be taken out of the equation as to who one should believe.......Trump's infamy for lying is beyond debate......
But, we are faced with the "choice" of who should be believed from a legal standpoint...that is, AG Barr, or investigating prosecutor, Mueller.........
From yesterday's brief monologue by Mueller, it is crystal CLEAR that these two republican lawyers are NOT on the same page.
Of course our biases come quickly into play when making the choice as who of these two should be believed.
So, we are left with the needed expose' that BOTH these folks need to openly testify before a House committee and.....
Either verbally repeat what was written in the report ....which is what Mueller will have to do......OR
Explain verbally how what is written in Mueller's report could EVER be "summarized" and "interpreted" as Barr did....which is also what Barr will have to do.
There is NO DOUBT......NONE...... that Mueller's ultimate intent is for Congress to settle the issue of "obstruction of justice" as the Article One responsibility of Congress.
For me it's simple. Mueller did the investigating and wrote the report. His report came first. Barr "summarized" it in a way that was politically advantageous for the president but not accurate to Mueller's actual findings.
As Mueller's boss, he could and should have asked Mueller to clarify. Even possibly asking Mueller to amend his report to include a conclusion on criminality. He did not.
Barr dishonored himself, the DOJ and the USA.
