WASHINGTON—The special counsel probe into President Trump and Russian 2016 election interference was meant to deliver a verdict on criminality, not to simply report facts to the public, Attorney General William Barr said in explaining why he determined the president’s actions didn’t amount to obstruction of justice.
In a high-profile hearing Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Mr. Barr shed some light on his thinking surrounding the choice by the special counsel, Robert Mueller, not to decide whether Mr. Trump...

Mueller couldn't reach a conclusion because he has nothing and the democrats are mad because of it.
Mueller has nothing.
He also said that he didn’t look at any of the evidence. Because facts don’t apply when you believe your only job is to defend Trump. Unfortunately for him, he actually works for us. ImpeachBarr💙🇺🇸
Robert Mueller is surprised Barr thinks he didn't reach a conclusion about whether Trump obstructed justice because his reports contains 200 page outlining such a case for Congress to review. Mueller did not recommended charges because of the '93 SCOTUS ruling.
Poker, anyone?
BARR IS A LIAR!!! ALL you have to do is to replay what he said when he released 'HIS REPORT'!!! IS HE SOOOO STUPID---that he thinks he can LIE 'AGAIN' to Congress!!~
Agree unless the intent was to prolong the democrats attacks on President Trump
Mueller should have but apparently did not have the evidence necessary to reach the conclusion he so deeply desired.
the more I understand it, Mr. Mueller was not supposed to pass judgement but just to collect & sort the facts & give to D.O.J. & Congress so they could make a decide.....
Now,he is trying to cover himself....Robert Müller.did his job...look.there was no meeting between them before deliver the report
Mueller wanted to keep this sham going.
The reason Mueller didn't come to a conclusion was he needed to earn his pay & with no collusion findings he needed to give Dems a foothold to continue their frivolous efforts to ruin Trump.
What a traitor.
MUELLER left a roadmap in the report for Congress so that had all of the facts to impeach trump. IMPEACH trump IMPEACH BARR
We are giving realDonaldTrump another 4 years with this BS. Barr is making these people look stupid. BarrHearing I can’t stand the way my party (dems) can’t get over this collusion obstruction BS. It really is so SAD for country and my party.
Not very well.
You cover up for liars.
So you hogtie Mueller w/ the OLC ruling, prevent him fr any prosecutorial discretion or jgmt & then claim his failure to indict is somehow indicative of Trump’s innocence? This is Congress’ job, thank God the ones w/o R’s behind their names care abt their oversight responsibility
I don't think he was surprised as much as he was mad that now he had to do it himself. No matter what Mueller found Barr was going to protect Trump.
so they dont understand the language of the country they are from?
Literally nothing Barr says at this point can be trusted
'I'm surprised Mueller didn't disregard DOJ policy'
I fear their friendship may be over.
