Just when he thought he bowed out of public life, Robert Mueller comes back roaring back, after president commuted the sentence of his longtime friend and ally roger stone. Despite the fact that stone lied about his russian contacts and his communications with wikiileaks, the president has painted his longtime friend as something of a victim. But now the former special counsel is breaking his silence at least in print. Defending his doj colleague. Originally in an oped in the Washington Post, mueller wrote this, when a subject lies to investigators it strikes at the governments effort to hold wrong doers accountable. We made every decision in stones case as in all our cases based solely on the facts and the law and accordance with the rule of law. Claims to the contrary are false. Joining your conversation is our good friend frank figliuzzi. Lucky for us hes now an Msnbc National Security analyst. Some of the words that were like fingers in the socket for me.

States who works deep inside the west wing, who has open access to the oval office, how are we, how are we having a conversation about safe returns to school . Right. This is another prime example where its the lack of a National Strategy is hitting home everywhere including the west wing and not only one i think its critical to understand that again, even in the west wing, they have access to that rapid testing, nicole, that most of the country doesnt have. I think schools and parents would be willing to take a chance if they knew their child could get a rapid test result. The west wing has something that even the rest of the country doesnt have, but on top of that, they believe from reports from nbc, that he contracted the virus from his college age daughter who he was kind of staycationing with. This just shows you all the layers, all the testing, how complex this is, and how we have to take it seriously when we say this virus knows no boundaries. Again, were talking about schools,
By this president , whose political strategy rests on division, with the very foundation of democracy, the vote under daily assault from the commander in chief. According to joe biden, we cant afford to drag the country down any lower. We need to deescalate. Not escalate.

Nor do Top Republicans own purported principles, which they laid out when they rejected president Obamas Supreme Court pick
