Episode 47 - Leaked Mueller Letter to Attorney General William Barr

This week a leaked letter sent from special  counsel Robert Mueller to Attorney General William Barr days after Barr  released his four-page “summary” indicated Mueller did not believe that  Barr captured the “context, nature, and substance” of his work.  Mueller’s letter, leaked in part to the Post  the day before Barr was set to testify before the Senate, shook the  country and set off a firestorm, including allegations Barr had lied in  previous Congressional testimony. His demeanor at his Senate testimony  did little to mollify concern that Barr had acted in concert with  Trump’s team to shape the narrative ahead of the redacted report’s  release, and was continuing to protect Trump from its contents and  repercussions.

House Democrats sounded the alarms and escalated  matters as Trump, his family, and regime all continued to stonewall  Congressional demands, including a lawsuit to block Deutsche Bank from  cooperating with House subpoenas and Barr being a no-show for House  testimony. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wore the gravity of the situation  in her demeanor at her weekly press conference, admitting she had  trouble sleeping after watching the top law enforcement officer’s  performance.
