Mueller’s ‘Legal Analysis’ in Trump Investigation Departed from DOJ: Barr theepochtimes.com/muellers-legal… via @epochtimes
“We didn’t agree with the legal analysis—a lot of the legal analysis in the report,” Barr told CBS. “It did not reflect the views of the department. It was the views of a particular lawyer or lawyers.”
Barr later said in the interview that while Mueller said he couldn’t have charged the president, that didn’t mean there was enough evidence to charge the president.
“The fact is Bob did not make a decision that there was a crime. He didn’t get into the analysis at all,” Barr said, explaining why the department and the special counsel’s office released a joint statement to clarify the issue.
Barr noted Mueller’s attempts at emphasizing that his team did not find that the president didn’t commit obstruction, “which of course is not the standard we use at the department.”
