re: The Media gaslighting over the Barr letter is incredible

Do you have a link for this?

"When Barr pressed him whether he thought Barr’s letter was inaccurate, Mueller said he did not, but felt that the media coverage of the letter was misinterpreting the investigation, officials said." LINK

Thanks.

It’s the first question he is asked

quote:

---

Barr expressly stated that the OLC opinion had no impact on Mueller's decision making process.

---

Nope, you havent read Barr's summary of conclusions. He said it had no impact on Barr's and Rosenstein's decision making process.

Neither have you read Mueller's report. He does expressly state that he was guided by that biblical OLC memorandum.

I know we disagree, on this, but I really do appreciate you finding this so we can have a discussion on the facts.... It's very nuance so for at least looking for this and I take back you saying you pulled it out of nowhere.

Here's the transcript:

quote:

---

Barr: "I would leave it to his description in the report, the special counsel's own articulation of why he did not want to make a determination as to whether or not there was an obstruction offense. But I will say that when we met with him, Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein and I met with him, along with Ed o'Callaghan, who is the principal associate deputy, on March 5th.

quote:

---

We specifically asked him about the OLC opinion and whether or not he was taking a position that he would have found a crime but for the existence of the OLC opinion. And he made it very clear several times that that was not his position.

---

He was not saying that but for the OLC opinion, he would have found a crime. He made it clear that he had not made the determination that there was a crime."

---

So, Barr is saying that we should take his word on the fact that Mueller said something. And this is where I differ with you, there's no reason to take Barr's word on this.

So he wasted 2 years of our time and millions of dollars of taxpayer money to come to no conclusions!

So you think Barr is lying?

Fine. There is no evidence to support it and he implicates Rosenstein and O’Callaghan as being present during the conversation which would make him the worst liar ever.

So I’ve presented evidence to support the position that the OLC opinion did not affect the ultimate position on obstruction. You’ve counter with “Barr lied.”

You’ve stated point blank that the OLC did materially alter his finding as to the ultimate conclusion. Please provide any evidence whatsoever to support this position.
