Mueller won't attend Barr press conference on report

Special counsel Robert Mueller will not attend Attorney General William Barr's press conference on Thursday to discuss Mueller's report.

Peter Carr, a spokesperson for the special counsel's office, confirmed to The Hill on Wednesday that no one from the special counsel's prosecution team will be present as Barr holds a press conference on their report at 9:30 a.m. Thursday.

Carr declined to comment on why Mueller or the special counsel team would not be present.

Both Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who previously oversaw the Mueller probe, will lead the press conference ahead of the report's release.

If Bob Mueller was in favor of all this, surely he or someone senior on his team would be there to lend credence to the veracity of the "Barr Report."

What the Dems should do is point this out, point out the weeks it has taken Barr to produce "his" version of the Mueller Report, and then immediately invite (or subpoena) Mr. Mueller to testify next Monday.

DEMS, PLEASE DO THIS! Keep also adding the message "what are they trying to hide" and add Trump's failure to turn over his tax returns. You need to win the battle for the hearts and minds of as many Americans as you can.
