Short diary, but sharp. I think the Republicans have overplayed their anti-Mueller hand. They got totally corrupt Republican AG Barr to issue a ridiculous and unprecedented (and illegal, in my opinion) letter to Bob Mueller, right on the brink of his testimony tomorrow before the House Intelligence and Judiciary committees.
The letter warned Mueller not to give any testimony that was outside the four corners of Mueller’s report. In my opinion, that’s obviously illegal.
But I’m pleased to realize that this absolutely boxes in the asshole Republicans like Jim Jordan.
Their whole defense is that somehow the “deep state Democrats” in the FBI and U.S. intelligence service conspired to bring Trump down.
Mueller will get to answer: I’m sorry, but the Attorney General has ordered me not to speak about anything outside the four corners of my report.
