In reply to the discussion: Can there be no doubt that Barr stopped Mueller's investigation before it was done? [View all]TruckFump
(5,812 posts)Several weeks ago when Barr had a meeting with Mueller, what Barr heard was bad, really bad for tRump. Thus, Barr, as the henchman for tRump, had to find a way to make an end run around Mueller. Barr, and also most people, could see that Mueller was an honorable man who would not stray outside the lines of the laws governing the Office of the Special Counsel. Unlike prior investigations, the Counsel then was an independent counsel -- hence no supervision by the AG. We all know the effects this had for Nixon and Clinton.
The result of Barr finding out that the hammer was about to fall on tRump was IMO that Barr told Mueller to wrap it up and Barr took over and has done and will do anything and everything to prevent rTrump's indictment, even if it were to be sealed to prevent it being outlawed by the statute of limitations, by taking over and making it his decision on the issues which Mueller was to address.
