That's what Barr is saying. Trump asked McGann to remove Mueller because of a conflict of interest, Not because of the investigation. He fired Comey because of something Comey did , not because of the investigation. All common sense has been removed from our legal system.
It's complete bullshit.

(16,791 posts)Because Robert Mueller WILL NOT LIE before the American people like William Barr is doing right now.
Republicans so far are kissing up to Barr and Trump, as they try to discredit the Democrats on the Committee before they even get to question, thus discrediting Hillary Clinton as the real culprit in all this.

(33,643 posts)I suspect he's going to shove it down their throats so hard they won't be able to swallow for days.
I guarantee Mueller feels VERY strongly that their was more than ample, extremely well-considered evidence (which was NOT somehow Clinton-biased) for performing the investigation that he spent 2+ years of his life on.
He's going to make them sound like idiots if they try to pull this same bullshit with him.
