Mueller III’s findings will be news to President Trump when they are released Thursday morning. Justice Department officials have had numerous conversations with White House lawyers about the conclusions made by Mr. Mueller, the special counsel, in recent days, according to people with knowledge of the discussions. The talks have aided the president’s legal team as it prepares a rebuttal to the report and strategizes for the coming public war over its findings. A sense of paranoia is taking hold among some of Mr. Trump’s aides, some of whom fear his backlash more than the findings themselves, the people said. The report might make clear which of Mr. Trump’s current and former advisers spoke to the special counsel, how much they said and how much damage they did to the president — providing a kind of road map for retaliation. The discussions between Justice Department officials and White House lawyers have also added to questions about the propriety of the decisions by Attorney General William P. Barr since he received Mr. Mueller’s findings late last month. Mr. Barr and his deputy, Rod J. Rosenstein, determined that Mr. Trump did not illegally obstruct justice and said the special counsel found no conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia’s 2016 election interference. Mr. Barr told lawmakers that officials were “spying” on the Trump campaign, raised ominous historical parallels with the illegal surveillance of Vietnam War protesters and pointedly declined to rebut charges that Mr. Mueller’s investigators were engaged in a “witch hunt.” https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/17/politics/redacted-mueller-report-congress/index.html Justice Dept. to release two versions of redacted Mueller report Washington (CNN)There will be two versions of the redacted special counsel report, with one being released to the public and one that will eventually go to a limited number of members of Congress with fewer redactions, the Justice Department said Wednesday. Some of the redactions in the Mueller report will be because of the gag order in the case involving Republican activist Roger Stone, they wrote. Prosecutors say they are making these redactions so not to potentially prejudice a jury, since Stone has pleaded not guilty to the charges he faces and is headed to trial. In a court filing related to the Stone case, prosecutors outlined a careful plan to prevent leaks of the less-redacted version the Justice Department plans to provide to Congress. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/po...redacted-mueller-report-11-m-thursday-n995686 'What are they trying to hide?': Democrats blast timing of Mueller report release The document will be provided to lawmakers only after a press conference about it by Attorney General William Barr A hard-copy of special counsel Robert Mueller's redacted report will be made available to members of Congress after 11 a.m. Thursday, but only after a press conference by the attorney general — timing that has infuriated Democratic lawmakers. That means the document will be handed over to lawmakers on the House and Senate Intelligence Committees 90 minutes after a press conference by Attorney General William Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein about the contents of the 300-plus page report on Russian meddling in the 2016 election and the Trump campaign. The report will be delivered on CD's. Sometime after that, t will be posted on the special counsel's website and available to the public, a Department of Justice official said.
The Mueller report: “The conclusion that Congress May apply the obstruction law to the president’s corrupted exercise of the powers of office, accords with our constitutional system of checks and balances and the principle that no person is above the law”
"Ultimately, while we believed that we had the authority and legal justification to issue a grand jury subpoena to obtain the President ‘s testimony, we chose not to do so. We made that decision in view of the substantial delay that such an investigative step would likely produce at a late stage in our investigation. We also assessed that based on the significant body of evidence we had already obtained of the President’s actions and his public and private statements describing or explaining those actions, we had sufficient evidence to understand relevant events and to make certain assessments without the President’s testimony."
