OP
In that case the Republican Senate would have been holding fair and open hearings.

Known, bottom line part is Mueller decided to leave a decision of law up to political appointees

This is about political power, Mueller was never going to save us. He did his job and now he's fading back into the scenery.

Instead of determining law which he was totally capable of doing.

incorrect about that?

is not the report.
Nixon tried pulling the same crap with the Watergate tapes.

have yielded any valuable evidence?

(35,293 posts)17. This strikes me as rebutting a non-claim.
The letter doesn't claim to have consulted Mueller. I'm unaware of Barr saying he consulted Mueller (and while that could be a gap in knowledge, around here that's the kind of thing that would be bricked and mortared into place within femtoseconds).
There's a claim that the report under a different provision of the rules will have been written with Mueller, but that wasn't Barr's claim and doesn't involve this letter.
