When the Mueller Report was released on April 18th, most commentators focused on the explosive factual allegations. But other than the shocking revelation that the President once used an expletive in private, very few of those facts were novel; most were leaked long ago.
At the end of Volume II of the Mueller Report, however, there were 20 pages of genuinely new material.
There, the former FBI director turned Special Counsel Robert Mueller defended his Application of Obstruction-Of-Justice Statutes To The President. These overlooked 20 pages were dedicated to defending Muellers interpretation of a single subsection of a single obstruction-of-justice statute: 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2).
Thats quite strange, but you know whats stranger still?
In June 2018, Bill Barr, then in private practice at Kirkland & Ellis, wrote a detailed legal memorandum to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. This memo came to light in December, when Barr was nominated for Attorney General.
The subject was Muellers interpretation of the aforementioned 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2).

Watching Weasel Mueller being a weasel is not interesting?
Say it ain’t so....
But Trump and everyone who works for him is too stupid to breathe, I thought.
IN before some dummy says, “TRUST Sessions’ plan..!”
Remember Rosemary Lehmberg !
Arrested for being 3x over the limit.
She was the DA for Austin and prosecuted corrupt politicians in Texas.
She abused her influence.
When Gov Perry tried to get her to resign...
Her friends tagged Gov Perry with criminal charges that dogged him for 2 years.
By being innocent?
If not for you, no one may have said it.
the simple facts are that president can (and imho should have) fire(d) Mueller and that entire cabal....long ago
anyway, he could come up with NOTHING so... who cares what else he wants to say?
Jeff Sessions will go down as one the most pathetic figures in human history.
Actually, it's Trump's plan. He's the President, you know.
And it's working out spectacularly so far, wouldn't you say?
#MuchMoreToCome
Barr was untouchable today. They couldn't put a dent in him.
To people like you, maybe.
Us smart people know better.
They didn’t “outfox” Mueller, they just didn’t allow for Mueller to outfox them.
Your argument is compelling... /s
A good article. Several consequential items are cemented in my mind
Mueller is a deep-state war horse brought out pasture for a kamikaze mission against Trump. He knew very early on there was no collusion. His whole game was finding “obstruction.” That’s not justice. That abuse of process.
Sessions is either very stupid, or very treacherous. His nonsense “recusal” immediately after becoming AG left Trump’s flanks open to an absolutely corrupt DOJ bureaucracy. He had to know this.
The DOJ/FBI should never, ever be called “professionals” or “objective.” Its a bullshit slogan and lie they tell the public. Any conservative President should fire the entire HQ of both organizations on his first day in office.
Present!
That was an informative article - thanks for posting. My respect for Trump’s legal team went up a notch, as did my confidence that Barr will do what’s right in this whole lousy spitstorm.
