And felt at least implicitly threatened by the way cox had been ousted on direct orders from the president , that was not what they got with Leon Jaworski. He was rock ribbed and straightforward and unintimidated and 45 years ago this month, Leon Jaworski assembled this 62page document. Summarizing material that the watergate grand jury had obtained that was relevant to understanding the president s own conduct within the watergate scandal. Now grand juries conduct their work in secret. It is ab...

I dont know why its in there either. He said, this part we do know, that it raised difficult questions of law and fact. Yeah, thats why we had him in the charge. Youre an attorney. You prosecuted cases. Heres the problem. When you have difficult questions of law and difficult facts, guess what you dont do. Prosecute. Right. Well, the white house still has not received the full Mueller Report. But the president s other attorney Rudy Giuliani says the public should see it. I would like to see ever...

Introduction to the obstruction section, where as he says, they lay out why theyre not making a determination, you have to then look at each of the ten acts they investigated. What he does, he goes through each one and lays out the elements. Lays out the evidence, the analysis, and is leaving it to someone else to determine whether that constituted either a crime or an impeachment offense. It is quite obvious he was leaving that to congress. I absolutely agree. I mean, we know he wasnt looking a...

Comes from the meat, in this case mueller. But team trump figured out a way to blunt what they may view as the bitter taste of muellers meaty evidence by sandwiching him with a lot of barr. If you remember, there was a lot of barr before any of the Mueller Report came out. There was more barr during that unusual press conference to upstage the report on the very day it came out. And now that bob mueller has spoken for what he says he hopes to be the last time, well, guess what, mueller sandwich....

Rosensteins supervision, mueller would continue interview witnesses and bringing cases. This took six months before mueller decided he could not exonerate trump on obstruction of justice.

Said so. The power of the spoken word. That was the bottom line. If mueller had confidence President Trump did not commit a crime, hed say so, but he couldnt say so. Hearing mueller say that was a moment in history and makes us wonder what President Trump and his administration heard. Because just listen to them. We consider this very much to be case closed. He said the case is done. And president tweeting those same words. The operative words. The case is closed. Thank you. Case closed . Well t...
