What he’s saying is he could have NOT straddled the fence. Barr’s going to say ‘no obstruction’.

Hey Barr, Mueller works for YOU. Why did you allow Mueller to deliver his DemonRat wet dream of 'testifying' WITHOUT having to answer any questions?

Question of the century!

Didn’t Barr already say “no obstruction?”

Or did he merely say, “You can’t obstruct an investigation if there’s no underlying crime?” Which, there is a debated question, with the debaters obviously influenced by what they want for/against Trump.

Barr’s passive aggressive way of telling Mueller the adult in the room made the decision you were too cute by half to make.

He wanted to destroy Trump but there was no evidence.
Mueller is probably the worlds OLDEST Snowflake.

I'm wondering if a deal was made.

Mueller shuts down the investigation, and Mueller gets to walk away without answering any questions.

"Hey Barr, Mueller works for YOU. Why did you allow Mueller...."

Maybe because Barr was in Alaska?
It didn't seem like there was a lot of lead-time for this - the media was notified that morning. I think it blind-sided Barr.

What could you expect from someone who only showed up for work to collect his paycheck. I doubt Mueller had much input into the investigation, and wrote little or none of the report. He was just the figure-head, and left the legwork to his minions. I think the guy is totally inept. It’s the same way Comey ran the FBI...turned it over to the inmates to run the asylum, and was Director in name only. Comey learned that technique from someone...probably from his buddy Mueller. And Wray seems to be following in their footsteps.

With Mueller gone, Barr will now answer all the questions everyone wanted to ask him. I suspect Mueller isn’t going to like most of the answers.

Mueller and his team’s idea of obstruction is tantamount to if you got out of bed today and stood in linexahead of them you were obstructing justice. Remember, even if you are charged it doesn’t mean you are guilty.

“Assange is as good as dead.”

I believe you’re right. He’s at death’s door in the UK even as we speak, according to news that came out yesterday. Arkancide Across The Pond. Probably poison.

(HAT TIP CHRIS STIGALL)

Self-serving cronies Mueller and Comey pulling the same tricks:
<><> abusing their govt positions
<><> undermining our institutions
<><> in it for their own vanity and partisan wishes
<><> saving (Hillary); tarnishing (Trump)
<><> pumping themselves as straight-shooting paragons of virtue.

In sum:

Deep State Clinton investigation: “We have conclusive evidence of wrongdoing, but we don’t believe she intended to.”

Deep State Trump investigation: “We can’t find any conclusive evidence of wrongdoing, but we’re certain he intended to.”
