House Democrats are not letting the conclusions of special counsel Robert Mueller's report impede them from further investigations of President Donald Trump.
Nadler insisted his wide-ranging probe, which he has already begun, is not a rehash of the Mueller report.
Nadler is now digging into the gray area in the Mueller report - whether Trump obstructed justice.
Barr's letter said the report "Leaves unresolved what the Special Counsel views as 'difficult issues' of law and fact concerning whether the President's actions and intent could be viewed as obstruction. The Special Counsel states that 'while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.'".
99%. 1%. "Attorney General Barr, who auditioned for his role with a memo saying that it was almost impossible for any president to commit obstruction, made a decision in under 48 hours," Nadler said Sunday, according to CBS. He referenced a 2018 memo Barr wrote that said "Mueller's obstruction theory is fatally misconceived" and based "On a novel and insupportable reading of the law."
Nadler issued a statement co-authored with fellow Democrats House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff of California and House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings of Maryland that gave Barr a zinger for not charging Trump.
"It is unacceptable that, after Special Counsel Mueller spent 22 months meticulously uncovering this evidence, Attorney General Barr made a decision not to charge the President in under 48 hours. The Attorney General did so without even interviewing the President. His unsolicited, open memorandum to the Department of Justice, suggesting that the obstruction investigation was 'fatally misconceived,' calls into question his objectivity on this point in particular," the statement said.
