Barr vs. Mueller

In his presser on Wednesday Robert Mueller clearly stated that the DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel’s policy that the president cannot be indicted while in office was the reason his team did not render an opinion as to whether President Trump obstructed justice. This statement directly contradicts AG Bill Barr’s testimony in the Senate that he had asked Mueller three times (in front of witnesses) whether this OLC policy was the reason for Mueller’s not rendering an decision on Trump’s possible obstructing justice. Barr testified that Mueller three times emphatically said. “no.”

Well what is it? Either Mueller or Barr is lying. So Barr, back from his Alaska trip, had a sit down with Mueller which resulted in Mueller walking back his mendacious claim. To read the details of this embarrassing admission see: RedState Article. In other words Mueller admitted he was wrong and Barr was right. Round one goes to Barr.

Even more interesting, I had heard of this huge Barr victory, but could not turn it up under Google as it appears no major news outlets reported this bombshell. So I had to use the DuckDuckGo search engine to find the above reference. I’m not surprised that such a Mueller boner is buried by both the media and Google’s search engine ... since it goes against the Fake News narrative: Barr is a liar and Mueller is above reproach. It seems the opposite is true.

Actually, this experience is a little frightening on many counts. I hope it does the same for you and opens your eyes just a scooch too, dear reader.
