RUSH: Get this.\u00a0 Lindsey Graham, who\u2019s chairman of the Judiciary Committee, has written a letter to the special counsel<\/a>.\u00a0 “Dear Mr. Mueller: Thank you and your team very much for the professional and thorough manner in which you conducted your investigation.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They didn\u2019t. This is just Senator Graham being typically Washington polite.\u00a0 This investigation was a sham. The report is a sham. As Emmet Flood\u2019s letter details, it is not the prosecutor\u2019s job to exonerate anybody, and just because he couldn\u2019t exonerate Trump on obstruction did not give him the right to list all of the crap in this report about what Trump said to who and when.\u00a0 It\u2019s nothing more than defamatory.\u00a0 It was purposely defamatory.<\/p>\n

This stuff is not permitted in the U.S. criminal justice system.\u00a0 A perp, a suspect is presumed innocent from the get-go.\u00a0 He doesn\u2019t have to prove he didn\u2019t do it.\u00a0 They have to prove he did, and it\u2019s no different for Donald Trump, whether he\u2019s president or not.\u00a0 So when Mueller says, “Well, I couldn\u2019t exonerate the president on the subject of…” It\u2019s not your job to exonerate!\u00a0 This was done purposely.\u00a0 It was done purposely to indicate, “We think he did something; we just can\u2019t find it.”<\/p>\n

Well, that\u2019s not what prosecutors get to do.\u00a0 They do not get to impugn people who are not charged.\u00a0 They do not get to impugn people they are not gonna take to court, and that\u2019s exactly what Mueller has done here!\u00a0 This report should have been no more than two pages.\u00a0 All 448 pages of the report are nothing but slander and libel, if you ask me, and I\u2019m dead serious about that.\u00a0 That may be a bit excessive, but I\u2019m telling you.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unwarranted, it\u2019s unnecessary, and it is in such violation of regulations, the law and ethics.\u00a0 I just can\u2019t let it go even though Lindsey Graham here is thanking Mueller and his team “for the professional and thorough manner.”\u00a0 Anyway, here\u2019s the gist of it:\u00a0 “On the eve of Attorney General Barr\u2019s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, several news outlets broke a story alleging that you believed Attorney General Barr\u2019s March 24, 2019, letter to this Committee ‘did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance\u2019 of your investigation.\u2019<\/p>\n

“Of course, Attorney General Barr has since released your report to the public, including your executive summaries, with redactions deemed necessary by both you and the Department of Justice, and testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee. In response to questions by Senator Blumenthal, the attorney general testified in essence that you told him in a phone call that you did not challenge the accuracy of the attorney general\u2019s summary of your report\u2019s principal conclusions, but rather you wanted more of the report, particularly the executive summaries concerning obstruction of justice, to be released promptly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“In particular, Attorney General Barr testified that you believed media coverage of your investigation was unfair without the public release of those summaries.” This is another… You know, these Washington people, they live and die with media approval, media image and this kind of thing and here\u2019s Mueller running around whining about the fact the media\u2019s not treating him fairly.\u00a0 He couldn\u2019t survive a half a day in Trump\u2019s shoes.<\/p>\n

Anyway, so Lindsey Graham says, “Please inform the Committee if you would like to provide testimony,” i.e., under oath, “regarding any misrepresentation by the attorney general of the substance of that phone call.”\u00a0 So he\u2019s saying (summarized), “Come up here!\u00a0 If you think you were misrepresented, if you think that your report has somehow been improperly represented by the AG, come up here under oath and tell us so.”\u00a0 I\u2019m gonna tell you what else this is. This stupid redaction business… They are trying…<\/p>\n

The truth of the matter is that Barr and Mueller together did the redactions in this report, and 95% of the report has been released.\u00a0 Ninety-five percent!\u00a0 The redactions were done by Mueller and Barr working together.\u00a0 The Democrats are trying to make the case that Trump did the redactions, that Trump did it, and that Trump\u2019s getting away with hiding what he did, and that Mueller knows the truth about it.\u00a0 This is such BS!\u00a0 So I think Senator Graham is essentially saying, “Hey, if you\u2019re upset with the way the attorney general characterized your report, come on up here, Mr. Mueller, and tell us what really happened — under oath.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
