Mueller could have raised his objections with Barr in person or by phone.

But he chose not to.

There's only one reason to do it by letter: to create a record. And the only reason to create a record is for future use by or with third parties.

In other words, Mueller put Barr out on Front Street.

1. He did.

If I read correctly the reports I saw, he send a letter but he also talked on the phone with Barr.

[StarfishSaver]

4. He talked to him AFTER sending him the letter.

Barr called him - Probably the first thing he did after reading it and saying, "Oh, SHIT!"

[drray23]

6. Yes that was after it.

I do get your point that he put it in writing to leave a trace

2. Doesn't it seem that Mueller knows just what to do and when to do it?

And that's because he does know.

7. Pretty much.

5. Mr. Mueller is putting Country first - PERIOD.

The man took his job seriously.

8. It has been quite a roller coaster over the last month or so.

9. That is because he is a good lawyer and knows his shit

10. Every successful barbeque requires the right marinade

Looks like Bobby three sticks got his briskets set for the smoker. All it needs now is time and S-L-O-W heat to have a fork tender feast. Just in time for late summer 2020!

11. Mueller was simply..........

feeding rope to any and all that chose to take it - to hang themselves............
