Jeremy Bash: ‘The Mueller Investigation Has Been Speedy, Very Workman-Like, Very Efficient’

EXCERPT:

BASH: “And the Mueller investigation has been speedy, very workman-like, very efficient. They've gotten as you noted five criminal convictions of significant players, they have the opportunity to turn witnesses in the investigation against higher-ups, and imagine just for a moment, Willie, kind of the astounding position we find ourselves in, which is as the president of the United States, who ostensibly sits atop the entire federal government and is supposed to symbolize truth telling and supposed to symbolize openness and transparency, actually won't even answer the questions of the investigator about his own conduct. Because his lawyers are afraid he'll either admit criminality or per perjure himself. And so here we are again in a situation where the president is refusing to answer questions and I think Rudy Giuliani has basically joined in his other lawyers in saying, Mr. President, don't do it. Fight the subpoena, take this to the Supreme Court, take this to the American people."
