Robert Mueller's prosecutors never drafted a report to Congress about alleged misconduct by President Trump, Justice Department lawyers indicated in a court filing Friday

Special Counsel Robert Mueller's prosecutors never drafted a report to Congress about alleged misconduct by President Donald Trump, Justice Department lawyers indicated in a court filing Friday.

DOJ attorneys said they were unable to locate any records in Mueller's files that were responsive to a Freedom of Information Act request seeking reports and compilations "prepared for the eventual consideration of one or more members of Congress, whether or not such records were actually transmitted to any party outside of the Special Counsel’s Office.

While the Mueller lawyers may not have prepared any reports explicitly labeled as referrals or potential referrals to Congress, the final report the special counsel's team drafted last spring was prepared in anticipation that substantial portions of it would be released to the public, which includes Congress.

Some observers compared that report as impeachment fodder akin to the Watergate "road map," although the articles of impeachment the House approved last December largely overlooked the conduct in the Mueller report, including acts analyzed by Mueller's prosecutors as potential obstruction of justice by President Donald Trump.

The House Judiciary Committee is still battling for access to grand jury secrets in the Mueller report. Last October, a judge

He was a colossal failure for America.

Winning!

Still doesn't change the finding. Can't argue the facts, cheap shot.

Strange! Why wouldn't the 'Dirty Dozen' want to leave in writing the fruits of their labors to take down a sitting president via a silent coup? Wouldn't we all like to know what & how they did it? All Democrats. All working with an Obama deep state. All protected for life.

Mueller owns trump as much as the GOP Senate. Enjoy.

The people&comfort readers/viewers should ask oneself 'what can 1 person do,if you have BOTH parties & whole govt & all system against yourself'? There,insanity´s border begins if you drop comfort zone. What would any of you/readers do,with having truth,but against world? Lose?

I don’t know why I ever believed Mueller was a patriot— nothing has proven that during this investigation

Your kidding

Doesn’t this just get more and more weird.

No crime other than Hillary funding fraudulent dossier?

Those of us who read the entire report know that Mueller referred over a dozen cases to other jurisdictions for prosecution, out of AG Barr’s corrupt hands. Those cases will be prosecuted when Trump leaves office.

Can’t report nothing of there’s nothing to report 🤷🏼‍♂️😉🇺🇸 Trump2020

Because it was designed to be a political hack job. To make it official would put you at risk of perjury, malfeasance, or any number of misconduct on record.

BC Mueller works for DOJ not Congress remember Separations of Powers

Aw shucks...we can't find that paperwork you asked for! Dang! Maybe it's around here somewhere...oops, nope! Or Mueller got confused and didn't file anything because he's senile... Drat! ANYWAY, we got nuthin' for ya, sorry dudes. Barr smirks, shrugs

Because there was none.

When will the radical democrats ever stop the resistance? They tried every dirty tactic in the book and failed. They do not realize how petty and pathetic they are looking.

Because Mueller worked for the DOJ, not the Congress. He was an employee of the DOJ.

Mueller screwed the pooch repeatedly.

LIE

Barr shut it down

Lol

Who told them not to—Rosenstein?

Mueller is corrupt

well since trumpsyncopahnt and fellowcolluderBarr refused to release the fully redacted report and congress not allowed access to one why should they have drafted a report./ If indicted (as it were) trump doj would make sure itnever saw the light of day anyway

Mueller was corrupt

Because you can't write a report about something that didn't exist is why

Yeah ok....
