Just finished watching it on FOX. It was very interesting in he basically cut off the congressional investigation and shut down Nadler and his merry men.
By stating the original investigation was established to determine Russian interference in the 2016 election, he limited the span of it. Having people lie about their interests in the election doesn’t qualify a crime. Anyone can say anything if it is not slander. And none of it was. Misleading is a product of politics and both sides do it already.
By saying the investigation was also into the Trump campaign for colluding with the Russians and finding no evidence, closes that part out. He further stated that the there was not enough evidence, meaning none as any would have been enough, that Trump or his campaign obstructed the justice department work. This was previously verified by Barr.
Mueller also stated that since there isn’t a crime that can reach a court resolution because what the liberals were after cannot be one for a sitting president, then there is no crime. (Besides there being no evidence)
If that’s the case, then what is Nadler’s committee doing? Simple, voter unrest. Make the voters uncomfortable so they will vote Trump out in 2020. And that’s all. Trump can have a field day on this. And there is now a question on whether Nadler’s committee can subpoena anyone to testify for a non-existent crime of any nature without committing slander/liable with the inference that their committee is there to investigate something that doesn’t exist as there is no evidence of it and no way to prosecute it if there actually was.
What goes around......

It's over, this was his repeat of everything that has already been said. Barr allowed this as a professional courtesy, probably so Mueller could say publicly he won't testify to Nadler.
The only news here was the Nadler rebuke, that's it.
