Mueller's Testimony Makes Clear That Bill Barr LIED to the American People

At a press conference shortly before a redacted version of Mueller’s report went public, Barr said that he “specifically asked” Mueller about whether Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) memos arguing that it is unconstitutional to charge a sitting president drove Mueller’s decision not to charge Trump. And Barr claimed that Mueller “was not saying that but for the OLC opinion, he would have found a crime. He made it clear that he had not made the determination that there was a crime.”

This is a lie. Mueller has said repeatedly today that it was the OLC guidelines that prevented him from bringing an indictment.

Barr should be impeached immediately!

And twice he passed on explaining their differences. This was wrong.
