Neil Kotchel just summed up Muellers testimony amazingly [View all]

He said that the applicable rules at the time of the investigation ruled what he could do,period. But, that after Barr probably ended the Muellers time and said that he had to finish the report...then we saw what Barr did,......but Neal just said that when Barr spoke and put his opinion on the report, that that opened the door for Mueller to now allow to openly counterdict what Barr put forward as fact....Wednesday may be better than currently expected?????
