Chuck Rosenberg on Rachel characterizing mueller's reaction to barr false conclusions as "going to paper". Apparently you do that at DOJ to cover yourself if its really important and you think it could have big legal consequences later on. In my workplace, we do that via emails and technotes.

I get it, but in it's own way (and at it's worst) it's shady as shit. It's the email version of passing the buck in order to prove that 'this is someone else's fault'.

I've had people give me verbal instructions and when things turned to shit, lied right to my face, denying it.
Luckily, my immediate manager or other co-workers would be around to act as witnesses.

If you are doing things above board, there should be no worry over a paper trail. It works both ways, as a manager could give instruction A to a subordinate and then the subordinate does action B and claims they were told differently.

We see in this administration, everyone lies out their ass and has no problems throwing others under the bus.
When you have Libertarian or scummy managers, they are self-affecting, and will act in a similar manner.

(7,616 posts)This could have limited the damage . Letting it stand for nearly a month allowed barr to taint the public.

Sad times in that regard.......

(53,741 posts)Barr lied blatantly to Congress by saying he didn't know if Mueller supported his conclusion (that trump was exonerated).
When he did that he had already recieved Mueller's letter and phone call disagreeing with his conclusion. You would think he had to know that that letter/phone call was going to be found out.
What the fuck? Maybe he thought he could keep it hidden. And he's been around DC for years and should know how the leak game works.
The fat dummy needs to resign asap.
