FOX News: Barr says Mueller asked DOJ to send letter limiting testimony to ‘boundaries' of report
Attorney General Bill Barr told Fox News on Tuesday that it was former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team who asked the Justice Department to send Mueller a letter telling him to keep his upcoming testimony to House lawmakers "within the boundaries" of the public version of his Russia probe report.
The letter provoked criticism from Democrats ahead of Wednesday’s highly anticipated hearing, with House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler calling it “incredibly arrogant.” Asked by Fox News why the Monday letter was sent, Barr said Mueller’s staff asked the department for guidance ahead of the hearing.

Update: Mueller takes the TV stage; Democrats hope America tunes in (AP)
WNU Editor: The main stream news media have ignored mentioning that it was Robert Mueller himself who asked the Department of Justice a letter limiting the scope of the questioning to the report. As for limiting the scope of the questioning to just the "boundaries" of the report, it means that Republicans on the Committee will not be able to ask the questions that they have been so sorely wanting to ask for the past year. My prediction .... this is what is going to happen tomorrow ....

ReplyDeleteHe was a figurehead. Mueller was to give this investigation the imprimatur of character and dignity and honor, given his great reputation as a swamp dweller. The real investigators and the real experts in this are the people who were not gonna be testifying, led by Andrew Weissmann and any of the other 14 Hillary Clinton supporters, donors, and fundraisers which served as Mueller’s investigators.
ReplyDeleteMueller needs somebody there with him to answer details ’cause I don’t think Mueller did much real work here. He may have sat in on some interviews, may have conducted a few himself. But this is the way Washington works. By the way, this is not isolated. You know how many of these high flying, high priced private sector lawyers who get hired to run blue ribbon investigations, special counsel investigations, do you know how many of them really do any work?
This is classic. ...

"figurehead" you're exactly right. With a lower case f I may add.
