Let's tamp down Mueller expectations: This is STILL an official DOJ press conference meaning Barr

[hlthe2b]

may still be asserting influence over what is said. It appears Mueller is still an employee of DOJ--for however long is really bizarrely unclear.

I'd love to see him give voice to what we all believe that he himself believes, but I just suggest we take a breath...

1. IMHO, if Mueller isn't on tv and under oath, anything he says is largely worthless.

2. Ugh, what if Barr is there...standing behind him;

The same way the Rosenstein robot stood behind Barr in his conference.

10. Barr is in Alaska.

So he won't be there.

[hlthe2b]

17. Screwing over the Alaska native tribes no doubt.

3. Beware -Mueller is a Republican!

[hlthe2b]

6. I've never thought he was a partisan, though. We shall see...

[walkingman]

11. He is still a DOJ employee so he had to have permission to speak - unless he is resigning???

4. Not sure about that

From the WP article, it appears that Mueller informed the WH that he will be going public today.
I think DOJ is trying to get in front of this.
Fuck Barr! Fuck the Con!! Fuck all the cover-up goons!

Please Mr Mueller!!! Out the truth

[hlthe2b]

5. I truly hope with all my being that you are RIGHT! We'll see.

[malaise]

9. That was my fear until I saw the WP article

I hope so too.

16. I really want to believe

but it is really hard some days.

I'm hoping for the best, but expecting a Barr-written statement on how innocent and perfect Trump is.

7. A lot of Republicans are good people.

The list of 900 prosecutors and judges who signed the letter who claimed that Trump was guilty of obstruction of justice contained many Republicans.

[hlthe2b]

8. Yes and I still do not believe Mueller or any others on his staff were partisans.

The problem for Mueller is the ingrained ceding to "command"--as a former Marine and as a long term dedicated DOJ/FBI employee.

12. Barr approved his remarks. Nt

[Blue Owl]

13. Mueller Time at the Barr

Probably not the happy hour we're all hoping for...

[Sunsky]

14. I believe he will support Barr's

statement that he did not mean, BUT FOR the OLC memo he would've indicted Trump on obstruction. I hope I'm wrong.

15. I'm on pins and needles
