Barr undercuts Mueller investigation as Trump cheers him on

If William P. Barr had been the first attorney general in the Trump administration, the special counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election would have met an early end, President Trump said Friday.

“He would have stopped it immediately,” Trump declared in an appearance on Fox News.

Now, legal observers say, the country’s top law enforcement official seems to be giving his boss the next best thing: unwinding and discrediting the work done by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III.

No bias in that headline. </sarcasm>

Uh Oh! Now its “Legal observers” are being sourced

[rightwingcrazy]

I thought the Mueller investigation was over. How can it be “undercut” after the fact?

[madison10]

Mueller’s “investigation” is done. It was a fraud from the start. Mueller is a dirty cop, or worse.

Now we know why Sessions did not move forward with investigations AGAINST Mueller and company. He did not want the treatment Barr is getting from the press and politicians. Barr is a stronger person

[laconic]

Mueller was and is a senile, doddering fool who wasted whatever “cred” he built up as a Vietnam veteran and FBI Chief by allowing himself to be used as front man, a real ventriloquist’s dummy, for some very evil people with plans to target innocent people, ruin their lives and those of their families, bankrupt them and reverse the results of a democratic election. He reminds me in a way of Marshal Petain, genuine hero of World War One, who allowed himself to be used as head of the Vichy government in WW2 to the detriment of the free French.

Discrediting the investigation that found nothing? What is there to discredit?

Actually, Mueller, Weissman and the other thugs on the so called Special Council team should be in jail for some really serious crimes.

History isn’t going to reflect well on this fool:
1. Mueller didn’t do any of the work
2. The entire investigation was invalid, they already had resolved the issues being investigated
3. Investigation = Cover-up

[SmokingJoe]

Sessions was a cuck. Pure and simple.

[Olog-hai]

It’s over, Comrade Zapotosky; it’s over.

BTW, isn’t his grin very reminiscent of the late George Michael?

"I thought the Mueller investigation was over. How can it be “undercut” after the fact?"

Exactly. What they mean, of course, is that the recent release of documents makes Mueller - and high-level Obama officials - look bad, so they're going after the messenger.

The media MUST attack Barr, because they will NEVER admit that Obama did wrong, his people did wrong, and that the Mueller investigation was a sham that never should have happened.

And Durham can expect the same treatment when his investigation comes to a head.

This trash heap of a paper could not tell the truth if their well being depended on it. Neverending lies.

[Steve_Seattle]

"Discrediting the investigation that found nothing?"

LOL Of course, the left says that the investigation REALLY found a LOT, but that Barr did not act on it. The media will NEVER admit that the whole thing was a fraud, because they lied about Trump for three years, and they are utterly corrupt.

[Erik Latranyi]

These media scum do exactly what the Obama FBI did....ignore all the exculpatory evidence and only focus on innuendo and fabricated charges.

They are no better than the criminals who perpetrated this attempted coup.

[Ann Archy]

Weismann is one EVIL, VILE, DISGUSTING PERSON....HOPE HE GOES TO PRISON!

[blackberry1]

Hillary was never suppose to lose. The whole CIA/FBI spygate was designed and put in motion to charge Trump with crimes after she won. Hillary and the team were going to destroy Donald Trump after she took office. It’s so obvious people. When she lost they had no choice but to keep the game going. Sessions bailed and Mueller’s team was to finish the job.

Stranger than fiction!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Every media outlet that took up Mueller’s cause and repeated it over and over.

[KC_Conspirator]

That same clown just a week ago wrote an article saying that the FBI notes would not matter. And TADA, days ago the case of dropped because of entrapment and withholding exculpatory evidence.

[euram]

Mueller discredited his own work, but was aided and abetted by Schiff, Pelosi, Nadler, Schumer, McCain, and others along with an entire host of yammering heads on TV.
