Rare Joint Statement Just Issued By Robert Mueller, Trump DOJ

Trump DOJ and Robert Mueller representatives just released a rare joint statement that destroys all hopes Democrats had about a massive “cover-up.”

Rare joint statement from DOJ spox Kerri Kupec and Mueller spox Peter Carr labors to say there’s no daylight between the two: “The Attorney General has previously stated that the Special Counsel repeatedly affirmed that he was not saying that, but for the OLC opinion…” (1/3)

“…he would have found the President obstructed justice. The Special Counsel’s report & his statement today made clear that the office concluded it would not reach a determination…abt whether the President committed a crime. There is no conflict between these statements” (2/3)

From Twitchy:

Well, down goes another narrative.

Peter Carr, Robert Mueller’s spokesman, signed a statement released to the press yesterday that “there is no conflict” between what AG William Barr said in the past and with what Mueller said in his statement on Wednesday…

Although journos are not quite yet convinced that Mueller’s office is not contradicting Barr[, …] Carr signed it and he speaks for Mueller, so we can consider this one over[.]

For a long time, Democrats have been insisting that AG Barr was contradicting Mueller and engaging in a “cover-up” to protect the President.

And even after the release of this rare joint statement, Democrats still aren’t giving up on their pipe dream of a massive Barr “cover-up.”

I am no more clear about why the two are not at odds with each other after this statement than before it (3/3)

Where is the story on the statement? Why is no one reporting on it?

Why isn’t the mainstream press reporting on this most recent news? Because it destroys their anti-Trump narrative, of course.

BOOM!

Narrative busted!

What do you think of this rare joint statement?
