Letter that it does not adequately or accurately, necessarily, portray the report s findings. do you know what they re referencing with that? no, i don t. well, whatever mueller told barr in their call and those letters would give him some knowledge on that. barr knew what he was doing when he up staged the mueller report with his televised press conference also on the day it came out. the deputy attorney general and ic concluded that the evidence developed by the special counsel is not sufficient to establish that the president committed an obstruction of justice offense. mueller made it clear in writing he was not exonerating this president. and so the big obvious question becomes how different would things be and how different should things be if the first person america heard speak about the mueller report was mueller? as set forth in the report, after that investigation, if we ....
i would sometimes find i didn t have jurisdiction as a federal prosecutor, and i would turn the case over to colleagues in the state system who might have a statute they could use. mueller seems to be acting very consistently saying i don t have jurisdiction. so i m putting this in the hands of people who do. when he says i, he means i, we, the doj. the report never says the special counsel can t indict but the doj can. i think that that s clear. and when mueller writes this letter and communicates to bill barr that he has concerns about the context, the nature and the substance of the way that the attorney general portrays his report to the public, that s an incredibly global criticism. and i think much of it stems from that clip that you just played where barr seems to say, no, mueller wasn t leaving it to congress. mueller s intent seems to have clearly been to leave it to congress. ....
From the dnc, from john podesta and publishing it in a way to hurt hillary clinton, they also had a big effort with disinformation on social media. and then another piece that the mueller report didn t talk about is they had conventional media. russia today, sputnik on youtube and other platforms trying to influence the course of this outcome. that is a big deal. i m glad he reminded people of it. this should be the least political and partisan of any of this. even understands there is politics on both sides when you investigate a president. we just showed some of that in the show. but this is about a foreign adversary. yet, even here, there are experts who say that mr. barr seemed to down play that in a political way as compared to mueller who was the one doing the fact finding. take a look. the central allegation of our indictments, that there were ....
Dismissed in the cattiest of terms. yeah. the letter is a bit schmidty and i think it was probably win by one of his staff people. blaming it on staff? well, that appears disingenuous because we knew, barr knew, mueller personally reached out. did anyone, either you or anyone on your staff, memorialize your conversation with robert mueller? yes. who did that? there were notes taken of the call. may we have those notes? no. why not? why should you have them? attorney general barr knew that mueller objected. he avoided that when also pressed directly about it under oath. reports have emerged recently, general, that members of the special counsel s team are frustrated at some level with the limited information included in your march 24th ....
if you have a subject talking like that and you have the powers of the special counsel office, do you force the issue in court? absolutely. it was a constitutional conflict of major his tor importance. with foreign nations interfering. he wants to take and never does it. take it to court. if you lose it you re in the game. you can t win the argument you don t make. none of the targets were interviewed. and mueller was on notice for this. and rosenstein and barr who came lately to the game had done lots of things he was on notice. let s play it out. in fairness to the team, the report addresses this. the mueller report says we tried. it would have taken too long to litigate that out. is that a valid excuse or could they have given update to the public and said we are not currently planning on future ....
