Any info on why Mueller made this statement at this time, who at DOJ authorized him to make it in front of a DOJ seal? He is still a DOJ official, he answers to Barr until his resignation is effective. Did he do it on his own?
Barr needs to step up his efforts. The Mule needs to go down as part of this coup. His communications with Comey, Weissmann, et al. that were part of setting this up should be retained and reviewed.
Twitter says Barr was aware of Mueller’s presser and some say he even was told of the full statement. Barr is in Alaska today ... just saying why pick today to hold the presser?
I think Mueller’s intent was to smear Barr by asking to hold the presser in hopes Barr would tell him no then in a few days after closing up shop would scream cover up by Barr
.
Barr called his bluff. So Mueller had to come out and crawl thru his statement.
