To me, Mueller’s public comments only made things more confusing.
a. Barr has good intentions and released more than I asked him to.
b. I did not look if Trump committed a crime, because of the DOJ’s position that a sitting president cannot be charged.
c. Yet it could be he committed a crime, if i would have known he did not, I would have said so.
d. the reason I did investigate the president, is to see if there were co-conspirators.
e. If there was a crime, it has to be investigated outside of the DOJ.
f. I will not add more than I have already written in the report. the report is my testimony.
On one hand he is hinting that there could very much be an underlying crime, on the other hand, he is saying that I did not even check to see if the president committed a crime.
Once again, both sides will have enough material from these comments to claim victory.
