Mueller’s Letter to Barr Was Not Normal

May 1, 2019 · 4:28 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Garrett Graff: “I’ve read just about every word Bob Mueller has ever said publicly or published. He’s written precisely one letter like the angry one he sent to Barr: It excoriated Scotland for letting the Pan Am 103 bomber out of prison.”

“To call Mueller’s letter ‘snitty’ dramatically undersells how extraordinary it is—and Barr knows that, in part, because who helped lead the Pan Am 104 prosecution? Bill Barr and Bob Mueller, back 30 years ago.”

White House Robert Mueller, William Barr
