In a letter obtained by ABC News, White House attorney Emmet Flood wrote to Attorney General Bill Barr in mid-April regarding special counsel Robert Mueller 's report into meddling in the 2016 election saying the findings “suffers from an extraordinary legal defect: it quite deliberately fails to comply with the requirements of governing law.”

The entire Mueller report, along with all the leaks, the question of 'obstruction of justice', etc. is nothing but political pandering on the part of the two political parties and the usual regurgitation of it by the MSM 24/7. Americans want it to stop and get their country back!

Hey John Goodman what you doing an SNL opening. You sure do a great Bill Barr, Goodman.

There's many of us that don't give a poo about what Emmet Flood has to say.

- president TRUMPs approval rating for April was 50% per Rasmussen Poll, the 'real' pol,l put that on the evening news

I can't help wondering if the AG really knows the law and whether his report 'suffers from an extraordinary legal defect: It's Dishonest!

I thought the wh did not see this before everyone else

This is legalese bull crap!

Well, It's Mr. Mueller's Report. The one democrats fretted over for nearly two years. Sorry you didn't get want you want for Xmas.

key words here are WHITE HOUSE attorney, i.e., TRUMP FLUNKY

There is a space between Katherine Faulders and John Santucci after the comma.

And why was this letter not revealed before now? Not to mention it is patently and deliberately false.

Love how Barr said there are multiple investigations into criminal leakers. I know Adam Schiff schitt himself 🤣🤣

It's the job of the Justice system to decide how to interpret the law not Trump's attorneys.

Here are the facts: Hillary hires Perkins Coie who hires Fusion GPS who hires Chris Steele who buys a fake dossier from so-called Russian Operatives. There is your story! There is your Collusion!

Wait? So now the Trump team is mad because Muller Doesn’t indite him?

Wow, Mueller figured them out & outsmarted them!

DenverChannel Maybe Barr should have went over the evidence before drawing his conclusion🤔🤦‍♂️

should be ashamed to be reporting this as though it has ANY credibility. It does not. No one who works for this criminal organization has any credibility. Con men are not credible. Get your shit together!

Translation for laymen?

THE_Nasty_Woman And this means WHAT? 🤔

Agreed it was 2 years and millions in tax payer dollars for a show to deflect from the Clinton and Obama crimes!

So what? ABC does not tell us how Mueller report fails to comply w requirements? So why would ABC run this? What’s a viewer spose to make of all this?

WH attorney wrote a letter to president’s personal attorney

So

What does that even mean? More word salad from another Trumpette.

You're lede is lacking 'erroneously wrote' and 'Flood misses his assertion by a constitutional mile.' You're welcome.

Trump was spied on and the Dems got caught doing it. Sad!

No collusion and no obstruction. Wtf and who cares what the letter said. The 400 pages were released that detailed the 2 years investigation WTF

Truth always prevails.

Mueller is a coward and a hack... check out his debacle with the Hell's Angels... a pathetic display, yet still not as pathetic as his witch hunt on our President.

remind me again... Flood works for whom?

Who the heck is writing so many letters in 2019?

Fact check: White House vs. the Mueller report, one week outOne week after the redacted Mueller report's release, here's a look at claims the Trump administration has made over the report and how they measure up to what the report actually says So you believe what you want to believe in the report 🤔. No bias here!!😳 Get the facts right. The Mueller report states that there is no crime called “collusion” and instead looked to see if there was sufficient evidence to conclude that there was criminal conspiracy.

White House lawyer slams Mueller report for making 'political statements'Emmet Flood, who joined the White House legal team in May 2018, worked as an impeachment attorney for President Bill Clinton. Didn't Emmet Flood mean Attorney General Bob Barr? Robert Mueller had a job to do and he did it. Barr had a job to do and he didn't do it. instead he wanted to do Mueller's for him. The WH needs to stop it's whining and count themselves lucky that it wasn't worse.😒

House Republicans sidestep Democrats to arrange limited interview with key White House stafferThe White House has agreed to allow a former key official, who recently defied a subpoena, to testify about the security clearance process. The Democrats never asked for a private interview They asked for an open hearing They should stick to that Full stop P.S Fuck the freedom caucus ( it felt good to type so I went for it lol ) Unacceptable. He represents & speaks on behalf of the government & to the people. He represents the ethics, values, & commitment to transparency of the government to the American people, not party. He is not required to lie for him & if ordered to do so he could resign 😑 Don’t let Jordan gets away with this Cummings? They’re all protecting each other. iMovie
