White House special counsel Emmet Flood complained to Attorney General William Barr that special counsel Robert Mueller’s report was “political” in its language, describing it as a “law school exam paper.”
Mueller, a former FBI director, cited Justice Department guidelines that a sitting president cannot be indicted or prosecuted. Moreover, were Mueller to accuse President Trump, he would be unable to defend himself at trial until after leaving office. “But ‘conclusively determining that no criminal conduct occurred’ was not the SCO’s assigned task, because making conclusive determinations of innocence is never the task of the federal prosecutor,” Flood wrote.
Calling Mueller out.
