Speaking from the Department of Justice Wednesday morning, Special Counsel Robert Mueller said he is retiring and returning to private life. The Special Counsel's office on this case is officially closed and up until this point, Mueller has been a DOJ employee.
"I'm speaking out today because our investigation is complete," Mueller said. "We are formally closing the Special Counsel's office and I am resigning from the Department of Justice to return private life."
For weeks the Special Counsel's 400-page report on the investigation into the 2016 election has been questioned, with Democrats and Republicans calling on Mueller to testify about his findings. Today he said the report speaks for itself and said he has no other statements to make about the investigation.
"I hope and expect this to be the only time that I will speak to you in this manner. I am making that decision myself," Mueller said. "I do not believe it is appropriate for me to speak further about the investigation."
"The report is my testimony...Our written work speaks for itself," he continued. "Any testimony would not go beyond our report...We chose those words carefully."
The Mueller report shows no Americans colluded with the Russian government to win the 2016 election, but today Mueller emphasized Russia's attacks and stressed a need to be vigilant.
"I will close by reiterating the central allegation of our indictments, that there were multiple, systematic efforts to interfere in our election. And that allegation deserves the attention of every American,” Mueller said.
Trump called me nasty names and threatened me... But I couldn’t charge him because he’s my boss... Boo hoo!
TAKE YOUR MONEY AND
G O
A W A Y!
If you say you could never charge, why did you investigate? Refund your salary.
Nothing is different. The press still hates Trump. Democrats still hate Trump. Deep state still hates Trump. And Trump is about to go nuclear on them all.
Then why is he out there raising the specter that Trump might have committed a crime? Grandstanding fool.
Ya' know, in all honesty, that statement could be directed at one Hussein Obama and his weaponizing of the government...
His retirement home is going to be a 6×8 at Leavenworth.
I agree. I heard he got a HUGE salary and unlimited funds. I listened to Jerome Corsi on the FBI investigation of how myself and he was almost in tears. He has a new book about it.
You gotta love it. Leading up to the perfect storm.
I’m not commenting further...but Trump was guilty as hell and we weren’t allowed to indict a sitting president. Now, CNN/MSN et al, will you get off my back?
So does this mean he is going to refuse to testify and will need to be subpoenaed.
Nothing Mueller said today is new. He simply repeated what is in his report.
The only ridiculous thing he said is that the investigators could find no proof that Trump DID NOT OBSTRUCT.
If I were to be investigated today no investigator or team of investigators no matter the time and money spent could ever find proof I had NOT committed, rape, murder, arson, pedophilia, treason, bank robbery,etc.
A great big nothing burger!
Newt said they had 11 charges abainst B J Clinton.
Ken Starr’s report said that Clinton committed perjury. If Mueller thought a crime was committed, he could have said so, without indicting
All he did was stir the pot.
Who died and made Mueller a Judge? Who is he to say what is Unconstitutional or not? How dare he throw shade on the President after he HIMSELF said he has no evidence? He’s a shyster, he got away clean with $35+ million dollars. He is a G-Man Avenatti clone.
Guilty until proven Innocent.
