White House is about to launch a distraction effort to obscure Barr’s duplicitous performance. Don’t fall for it. Mueller acted fully consistent w/Special Counsel regs. If Trump thinks it was unfair to lay out the evidence on obstruction w/out a trial, that can easily be remedied
WH complaint is prosecutors make binary decisions in ordinary cases&Mueller didn’t. This is silly. WH has been the ones saying Trump as sitting Pres can’t be indicted. If WH wants to play by ordinary rules, great. U cant say “not ordinary” when it helps&“ordinary” when it doesn’t
WH complains Mueller created “road map” to impeachment. No, it laid out the facts. What would they have had them do? Force Congress to reinvestigate everything? Even for Trump, who blows thru taxpayer money left&right for his many golf trips, this makes no sense.
The WH complaint makes little sense. They are complaining that they don’t have an opportunity to defend themselves like ordinary citizens. But that’s a problem of their making. They can defend themselves in a criminal trial or in impeachment. Anytime.
This is a silly letter, and is best understood as an attempt to distract from Barr’s disastrous appearance yesterday, his now-revealed duplicitous acts for the last month, and his cowardly refusal to face questions by the House of Representatives, a coordinate branch of govt.
