Well, it appears the White House has gone from gleefully loving them some Mueller Report to high dudgeon:
MSN Story Here
The April 19 letter from White House legal counsel Emmet Flood to Attorney General William Barr, obtained by Reuters on Thursday, was in line with Trump's confrontational approach to dealing with a Democratic effort to use the Mueller report as a springboard into more investigations.
* * *
Mueller produced "a prosecutorial curiosity part 'truth commission' report and part law school exam paper," the letter said. "What prosecutors are supposed to do is complete an investigation and then either ask the grand jury to return an indictment or decline to charge the case," Flood wrote in his five-page letter to Barr.
"The Special Counsel and his staff failed in their duty to act as prosecutors and only as prosecutors," he said.
So, now Robert Mueller knows what the White House apparently really thinks of his efforts. I wonder if Flood's letter will get a rise at last out of the Special Counsel?

(56,828 posts)didn't Trump say that the Mueller report was complete and total exoneration? Should he care so much after that?

(51,559 posts)It is infuriating. How Mueller could list all that evidence, then say it would be "unfair" to Trump to come to a conclusion, pisses me off to no end.
Yet he came to a conclusion in Vol. I., albeit an incorrect one, on conspiracy. How Mueller can claim what Russia gave Trump has no value is beyond me. Mueller bent over backwards to not find conspiracy.
