Was Mueller's Statement His Quid Pro Quo to Jerry Nadler for Not Being Subpeoaed Under Oath?

This theory, via the Morning Briefing's Liz Sheld, sounds plausible in the extreme to me. I think it's almost certainly correct.

Here's the real story, in my opinion, with Mueller's press conference: Mueller doesn't want to be called by Nadler to testify before the House Judiciary because he doesn't want to answer tough questions under oath. Nadler doesn't want to call Mueller because he doesn't want Mueller answering questions that undermine the Democrats' plan to keep a cloud of suspicion floating over Trump until 2020. Mueller and Nadler are communicating because Nadler was pretending to negotiate a Mueller appearance before his committee. Basically, Nadler was like, "I need you to give me something if you don't want to be called to testify." And of course, Mueller was more than happy to hold a press conference where he could recapture his rightful status on all those prayer candles after failing to seal the deal against Trump with his report. I should mention that the Senate Republicans can call Mueller to testify, but I have little faith they will do that because they are sad, weak little men.

A compromise had to be made because the Democrats' planned narrative was derailed with Barr's cut-to-the-chase press conference. But this time, Mueller delivered for the Democrats by insinuating that his team could not charge Trump because of DoJ's regulations not to bring charges against a sitting president...but would have if not for the regulation.
AG Barr testified under oath otherwise about the DoJ regulation. Barr said that Mueller told him three times it was not the case that the OLC regulation prevented him from bringing charges. I believe Barr, who made this assertion under oath, over Mueller, who does not want to make any statements under oath. There were also witnesses to this conversation. I wonder what they have to say.

She also speculates -- and many have speculated about this -- that Mueller's game-plan with the release of the report was to feed his "summaries" to the media, which would pump up the notion that Trump committed crimes which are just not being prosecuted because Whatever YOLO. Some, for example, find it intriguing that a New York Times reporter had lots of background information ready to go within hours of the report being released to Barr.

Barr sniffed that plan out and then blew it up by not releasing his own summaries, but instead releasing a short letter stating the report's top-line conclusions: No collusion, not enough evidence of obstruction to charge.

This put Mueller and his corrupt henchman Weisman in a difficult spot: They'd intended the report to be an indictment without any actual charges, but now Barr was ruining everything.

And so, since then, the anonymous quotes fed to the usual suspects. Trying to do everything to get their precious Narrative back.

See the link for much more.

Alan Derschowitz breaks from his previous defense of Mueller and now calls him an out-of-control partisan and abuser of prosecutorial power:

The statement by special counsel Robert Mueller in a Wednesday press conference that "if we had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said that" is worse than the statement made by then-FBI Director James Comey regarding Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign. Comey declared in a July 2016 press conference that "although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information."
Comey was universally criticized for going beyond his responsibility to state whether there was sufficient evidence to indict Clinton. Mueller, however, did even more. He went beyond the conclusion of his report and gave a political gift to Democrats in Congress who are seeking to institute impeachment proceedings against President Trump. By implying that President Trump might have committed obstruction of justice, Mueller effectively invited Democrats to institute impeachment proceedings. Obstruction of justice is a "high crime and misdemeanor" which, under the Constitution, authorizes impeachment and removal of the president.
Until today, I have defended Mueller against the accusations that he is a partisan. I did not believe that he personally favored either the Democrats or the Republicans, or had a point of view on whether President Trump should be impeached. But I have now changed my mind. By putting his thumb, indeed his elbow, on the scale of justice in favor of impeachment based on obstruction of justice, Mueller has revealed his partisan bias. He also has distorted the critical role of a prosecutor in our justice system.
...
No prosecutor should ever say or do anything for the purpose of helping one party or the other. I cannot imagine a plausible reason why Mueller went beyond his report and gratuitously suggested that President Trump might be guilty, except to help Democrats in Congress and to encourage impeachment talk and action. Shame on Mueller for abusing his position of trust and for allowing himself to be used for such partisan advantage.

As Liz Sheld mentioned, Barr testified under oath that 3 times Mueller said it wasn't the rule about not prosecuting presidents that held him back --- and there was a witness to that conversation.

How long after your investigation started did you pivot primarily to the "obstruction of justice" focus?

Mueller/Nadler both wanted the pro-impeach fake argument by Mueller, and they both wanted to avoid "cross examination" by Republicans. Mueller accomplished that by giving a statement ... no questions allowed.

(and someone else, likely evil Weissman, wrote the statement for Mueller, who had trouble even reading it ... he may really be a doddering old fool, and old tool of the Clintonista regime)

He gave Mueller the benefit of the doubt as long as possible, which was frustrating but fair. As soon as Mueller finally openly demonstrated that there was no doubt at all anymore about his motives, then Dershowitz called him out on it, and said that Mueller was a disgrace to law enforcement.

78 So the Deep State press is now in full smear mode against AG William Barr, all because Mueller lied to the press.

The Deep State press decided Barr lied without even asking any questions about it first.

Mueller yesterday set up Barr to get slaughtered by the Deep State Press. Mueller lied either to Barr and his staff (also Rosenstein was in the meeting) or to the American public yesterday in his 10 minute diatribe.

We are getting close in this story to that "OSWD" (oh shit we're dead) moment between "slowly at first, then suddenly".

The Deep State doesn't care about law any more. That means the ballot box becomes irrelevant, and there is only ONE box left.

82 Doesn't matter if Mueller appears before the Senate now because the cake has been baked. This presser was about getting the Dems/Media narrative out, and if Mueller appears before the Senate, the Dems/Media will just spin whatever he says as the Republicans trying to protect Trump at all costs even though Mueller is testifying under oath.

It's just like 22 years ago with Clinton. The Dems/Media made the whole impeachment talk about Clinton getting a blowjob instead of the lying under oath multiple times during depositions about a sexual harassment lawsuit.

88 Dershowitz saying he'd "changed his opinion" of Mueller based on the presser was like Michele Obama being "proud of her country for the first time."

Says more his being either an idiot or a hack for not having sussed out obvious signs of corrupt intent earlier like not recusing himself due to conflicts, hiring a squad of anti-Trump hit men, going well beyond his mandate and continuing an investigation into a "non crime" of collusion for years when an hour's worth of legal research should have resulted in a report that "collusion is not a crime"

Mueller didn't say anything yesterday that wasn't in his report. All he proved with his performance is that hardly anyone actually read his report and virtually no Democrats did.

Nobody moved their position based on what Mueller said yesterday save for a few like Dershowitz who have become disgusted with this sham.

If the Dems are going to impeach it's because their base of lunatics and idiots demands it and they have no idea what's going on, they just want Trump gone.

107 imo the OLC regulation weasel words was not the worst part of the Mueller statement.

The worst part was the false claim that Russia had stolen the data/emails from the DNC servers, AND that Russia had significant influence in our election, AND that it was all to benefit Trump (implying Russia gave Trump the outcome, even if Trump was not involved)

Tucker refuted most of that last night ... and others have shown the emails came directly off the servers (as in Seth Rich could have done it, but it was not from remote hacking).

The lie that Trump was elected via Russia is to push the left's alternative Narrative "Trump was not involved, but Putin still got him elected". No, Putin had minor influence, and probably had a preference for Hillary. He had uranium one kompromat on Hilda, and much more no doubt, plus the Hilda Reset button served him better, following on more flexible Obama's compliance.

Tucker also covered that Mexico does indeed have massive influence in our elections, but that is OK, cuz it helps Hillary and the globalists overthrowing America.

109 Yes, it was obstruction to fire James Comey.... James Comey who said that he told Trump that Trump wasn't under investigation. So he lied to his boss.

How can it be obstruction of an investigation into Trump if the investigator assured Trump he wasn't under investigation?

If Comey had told Trump that he is currently under investigation, and Trump fired him - then maybe you have something, that being said - it's still Trump's right to fire the FBI director for any reason.

They don't even have that... to me - that kind of nonsense tarnishes that whole joke of a report.

Turns out the truth is quite a bit different: Butt-gig's "husband" is the one who left his family, voluntarily, because he didn't like the fact that they didn't immediately embrace his homosexual lifestyle after he came out to them. Despite his nastiness to them, the parents eventually reached out to him to try and effect a reconciliation, and they even walked him down the aisle at his "wedding" to Butt-gig. Poor baby, no wonder he was scarred by having been raised by such bigots!

After Trump fired Comey, McCabe became acting Director. He then testified before Congress and said clearly and plainly that nobody was interfering with his investigation.

128 And so we are back to where we were Tuesday morning. The Democrats' base wants impeachment, but a trial in the Senate requires a 2/3 vote to convict. That means something like 20 Republicans would have to jump over to vote to convict. That will not happen unless there is somewhere above 70% of the public wanting impeachment, and that is not there.

So the Democrats are stuck between the devil of their base and the deep blue sea of public opinion. No sympathy from me.

It is a full inversion of how things are supposed to work, and a complete rejection of the law - from a man who was once arguably the chief lawman for the feds.

When you have rule of law, the cops investigate *crimes* to try to find the *men* who committed them. This, however, was the cops investigating *men* to find *crimes* they may have committed.

Anyone who does this is not a lawman, he is a lawless animal who should be treated as such. We only spent several hundred years getting *away* from that crap.

139 No prosecutor should ever say or do anything for the purpose of helping one party or the other. I cannot imagine a plausible reason why Mueller went beyond his report and gratuitously suggested that President Trump might be guilty, except to help Democrats in Congress and to encourage impeachment talk and action. Shame on Mueller for abusing his position of trust and for allowing himself to be used for such partisan advantage.

A little late to the party, Alan ... as usual. Everyone with a brain has known that Mueller is a dipshit, a partisan, and a coup-attempting traitor from the very beginning.

Mueller's incompetence and idiocy from his earlier positions years ago should have clued you in that he was an idiot and an asshole, at the very least.

actually I think Mueller's statement claimed Russia had major influence in the election ... the report said they MIGHT have been behind the email "hacking".

I'd have to look at the details of the transcripts ... but that was a point from Tucker last night, and my recollection of the (not under oath) Mueller statement at the least implied Russia got Trump elected. That is an important part of TheResistance's Narrative.

And while he didn't exactly refute other parts, the way he framed them said something different, supporting the preferred narrative. It is not always just the raw facts, it is how they are framed.

Mueller worked for Barr.

Mueller's little puppet show yesterday was going over his boss's head. So Mueller wasn't too concerned with propriety and ethics at that, only in refusing to shit or get off the pot as far as charges.

He indicted nearly 30 of them. The vast majority of people Mueller indicted were in fact Russian military and intelligence people.

How does the person defend himself against such a scurrilous and cowardly smear? There will be no court proceedings in which he can ever defend himself and potentially clear his name.

224 It's obvious to me that Robert Mueller is a serial homicidal pedophile,
and per the Robert Mueller standard of evidence, until he can produce
evidence and prove that he is not, he must be found guilty of those
crimes.

Remember the leftist standard: It's not the crime, it's the seriousness of the accusation

I don't think serial homocidal pedo is actually a crime to liberals.

Insted, I'd go with an accusation of "racist homophobe who has targeted gays and lesbians for prosecution and has, on my occasions, spoken out against muslims and mistreated the koran."

Pretty sure all of those are crimes punishible by death.

Three possibilities, in order of likelihood. Some may overlap:

2. Graham is a weak, pathetic man who doesn't want the Establishment blowback for exposing Mueller as a corrupt, compromised garbage pit.

3. Graham doesn't want the rubes in South Carolina hearing testimony and/or leaks about his early involvement in the coup.

Am I pleased that people serve in our military and risk their lives to achieve their objectives? Absolutely I am. Does this service give them pass for future shitty behavior? No, it doesn't.

337 The sidebar comment about docs not being allowed to talk low carb is false.

In 2006 the AAFP position statement was:

'Weight loss is directly related to calorie content and the ability to maintain caloric restriction; the proportions of nutrients in the diet are irrelevant. Low-carbohydrate diets had lower dropout rates than low-fat diets in several studies, possibly because of the high protein content and low glycemic index, which can be appetite suppressing. Data indicate that low-carbohydrate diets are a safe, reasonable alternative to low-fat diets for weight loss.'

Since then their position has become even stronger.

Rush said this today on his show. He said that nobody gets their deposit back when this happens as a normal course of business.

Also Mueller listed this in a footnote in his 448 page report.

And remember, Mueller interviewed for the job as head of the FBI with Trump. Trump turned him down, and the next day, Rosenstein appointed him to lead the investigation against Trump.

DC is maggots and worms. Maggots and worms.

The whole thing is Impeachment bait. Trump saying today, "impeach is a dirty filthy word, I should never be associated with" is pure Trumpian Bait.

I'm watching a documentary about blues singer Robert Johnson who
allegedly went down to the crossroads and sold his soul to the Devil for
success and died at age 27, Devil At the Crossroads. It's about half
good (I did not understand the Satanic imagery in his songs) and half
complete bullshit. At the end they speculate that all those stars who
died at 27 sold their souls to Satan. Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Kurt
Cobain, Janis Joplin . . .

The old legends said that the contractee would only get seven years of greatness/his heart's desire. The story goes that Oliver Cromwell, the 1660s English fellow, also sold his soul to the Devil and got seven years' worth of power and military victories.
Joplin, Hendrix, and Morrison -- did they all get seven years? Or was the seven years deal just something Satan gave to the marks?

412 Top headline in today's Denver Post: " Report did not absolve Trump "

Anybody who's ever watched Perry Mason or Law Order could tell you:
IT'S NOT THE PROSECUTOR'S JOB TO 'ABSOLVE' ANYONE OF ANYTHING. It's to find evidence tying a suspect to a crime. In THIS case, we had no visible crime in the first place, just innuendo. And, in THIS case, we have no evidence tying the "suspect" to ANY crime(s)
whatever, over the course of the last 20 years or so.

This "prosecution" has sigmoidoscoped the "suspect"s friends, family members, associates, business partners, concubines, attorneys and
the news-vendor on the corner for the past 27 months and found NO CRIME, much less *EVIDENCE* tying this man *TO* any crime.

((Would the same be true if, for example, The Fricken Bureau Of Intimidation had spent the same unlimited-time-and-resources on investigating Dianne Feinstein? Nancy Pelosi? Chuck Schumer?
Hmmm? <How *do* they get so rich while "serving" in "public office",
I wonder?> ))

415 Mueller's "job interview" for FBI Director was a stealth way to get a suspect interview with the president. Mueller knew he would be a Special Counsel the next day. The President didn't.

When he left his phone behind, that was a stealth way to wiretap the president. Again.

And this was the stealth way that Democrats figured out so he could testify without being cross-examined.

For example, why did you obstruct justice by destroying the Lovebirds phones? Why was Weissman allowed to run this fraud when he was briefed by Bruce Ohr with all the other Coup plotters? How did Carter Page get named a Russian Super-Spy repeatedly yet you ignored him?

Dirty Bob Mueller is a National Disgrace--in a town full of them.
