Figliuzzi on Mueller Report: ‘That Is Not the Bob Mueller that I Know’

EXCERPT:

FIGLIUZZI: "So, we have so many questions and so few answers, Nicolle, this reminds me of really hard high school math test where the teacher says I don’t want to just see your answer, you need to show your work. We need to see the work on this by Mueller and by Barr before we figure out what's happened. But I’m going to tell you something, this is not the Bob Mueller that I worked with at the Bureau, at the FBI. Here’s why I’m saying that, and I want to be clear here, I am confident that an exhaustive, thorough investigation was conducted. There’s little question in my mind that that’s happened. But the way Mueller chose to handle this, which is essentially not to make a call, and I want to emphasize, we’ve only seen a four-page summary and we’re taking Barr’s word for what Mueller is saying to him, but this notion that Mueller would say, this is really hard but the facts and the law here are really hard, so I’m not going to make a call. You make the call. That is not the Bob Mueller that I know. And I’m wondering, and really racking my brain on what the strategy here is by Mueller, because as has just been said, the perception is awful. If this was supposed to — if this whole thing was designed to give us credibility and a sense of comfort in the system, we’re now left thinking my God, the decision to charge or not or to move forward or not on obstruction was made by a man who may have possibly, should have recused himself, the Attorney General, because of previously stating his position on obstruction. So here we are. We spent two years exhaustively investigating this. And by the way, the four-page summary does not even touch on what I see as an essential question, which is the counterintelligence question. Do we have a president who is compromised or not?"
