Doesn’t look like he walked it back to me. He just corrected the misstatement that he “did not indict” the president. He obviously doesn’t have the power to indict, only to decide if there was an indictable crime. So he is standing by his actual point, which is that he opted not to decide only because of the OLC guideline that a sitting president can’t be indicted. What’s interesting is this still directly contradicts Barr’s statement about what Mueller told him on this point. According to Barr, Mueller repeatedly said the OLC guideline was *not* the only reason he didn’t decide on obstruction.
Mueller not knowing the key findings is in his report again. Hilarious.
he walked it back
there are three possibilities
Guilty but we didnt indict because of OIC - leiu interpreation
we decided..Not Guilty
Maybe yes may no who knows we didnt look because of OIC...his walk back
maybe another interpretation I havent thought of
“What’s interesting is this still directly contradicts Barr’s statement about what Mueller told him on this point. According to Barr, Mueller repeatedly said the OLC guideline was *not* the only reason he didn’t decide on obstruction.”
And what’s even more “interesting” is that Barr had him on speaker phone and has several witnesses to Mueller’s stating it not only was not “the only reason” but was not “a reason” for not recommending a charge of obstruction.
