C-SPAN: Fmr. FBI Dir. Robert Mueller, Who Led the Trump-Russia Investigation, Has Died
RUSH EXCERPT:
MUELLER: "A good morning everyone and thank you for being here. Two years ago, the acting attorney general asked me to serve as special counsel and he created the special counsel’s office. The appointment order directed the office to investigate Russian interference in the 20 16 presidential election. This included investigating any links or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the Trump campaign. I have not spoken publicly during our investigation, I’m speaking out the day, because our investigation is complete. The attorney general has made the report on our investigation, largely public. We are formally closing the special counsel’s office and as well I’m resigning. I’m from the Department of Justice to return to private life. How make a few remarks about the results of our work. But beyond these few remarks, it is important that the offices written work speak for itself. Let me begin where the appointment order begins, and that is interference in the 20 16 presidential election as alleged by the grand jury in an indictment. Russian intelligence officers who are part of the Russian military, launched a concerted attack on our political system. The indictment alleges that they use sophisticated cyber techniques. To hack into computers and networks used by the Clinton campaign, they stole private information and then release that information through fake online and identities and through the organization Wikileaks.
