Mulling Mueller, Reprise 0
At Above the Law, Joe Patrice argues convincingly that many of the initial reactions to the Mueller report are getting it wrong. Folks who had been hoping that Robert Mueller would turn into a Fairy Godfather and give them a magic pumpkin have been disappointed and are gnashing their teeth in frustration, without reflection.
The “without reflection” bit is the important bit; reflection is called for.
Here’s part of what he has to say about Attorney-General Barr’s “summary” letter (emphasis added):
This matters because a description of Mueller’s “decision” that reads much closer to “As discussed, making a determination on this issue would exceed my mandate so I have made the decision to present the evidence I found without making a determination one way or the other,” would make for a very different hearing before the House.
The whole thing is worth your while.
