wow. wo-ooooooow. wow. "Mueller wrote a letter in late March complaining to Barr that a four-page memo to Congress describing the principal conclusions of the investigation into President Trump “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance” of Mueller’s work." wow.— Harry Litman (@harrylitman) April 30, 2019
When he did, everybody listened. I thought the same thing about the "silence" of Robert Mueller. He wanted to let the report speak for his investigation. When it wasn't allowed to, and was even misrepresented, he had to speak up. And he waited for Congress to return to session before he did so.
“Mueller is so buttoned up,” [Washington Post reporter Matt] Zapotosky said. “He barely said anything about the course of his probe. One time he emerged to dispute a Buzzfeed story.”
He added, “Anytime Mueller say anything he thinks about it at great length. It’s of great consequence. He surely knows putting this down in a letter will memorialize it. This will become a part of history. He is for all intents and purposes disputing how Bill Barr cast his work. Everyone can kind of read his full report now,and come to their own conclusion. It’s a remarkable thing.”
Silence is not always reticence; sometimes its wisdom. Would anybody have seen anything but a pissing match if Mueller had been more like Avenatti?
This is how you make people listen when you have something to say.
