Fmr. Mueller Attorney Expresses ‘Personal Regret’ | Morning Joe | MSNBC
I will always blame Comey for helping Trump become POTUS because he publicly condemned Hillary for a “crime” Trump and his family commit everyday while refusing to acknowledge that Trump was rigging the election with the Russians. How can that ever be excused? And now we learn Mueller could have come forward and saved our country and over 200,000 lives, but did nothing. With public servants like them, who needs enemies.
He should have regrets. What a shame…
Regret or no.
We cannot do anything now. Thanks for nothing.
Traitor Trump is a catastrophe for the American People and the country
Now he says, when Trump has a high case of losing. That he is sorry that they didn’t do their job. A focus of the investigation threaten them not to cross a red line. And they didn’t. I do understand what he saying,, and in my opinion all of this crap falls back on the Republican Senate. And another thing I am glad he is admitting to it now. But also he is writing a book now
Scum bag
TRUe swaMP
No Russians yet.
“We did not anticipate the treachery of Bill Barr.” – I call BS. Barr had a long history of treachery and lawlessness.
Trump owes 400 million to Russia. Why is he is still in office?
You can’t be noble dealing with someone who has no regards for the term they drop the ball no excuses.
WOW! This guy’s hindsight on not investigating trump’s finances IS SO PERFECT …he wrote a book about it.
Sounds like the title should have been
“Proud Cowardice”.
This is so sick….openly musing how we could have got Trump. At this point it’s all speculation and conspiracy theories. If they haven’t gotten Trump yet, it’s not gonna happen
Which is better?
1. Losing a battle with America knowing your honor
2. Winning a battle with America knowing your corruption
Trump, his supporters and his worshipers all deserve a one way ticket to Russia or North Korea.
Why hasn’t Barr been barred for helping 45 cover up the Mueller report? Acting like 45s personal attorney.
due diligence … NOT could’ve, should’ve, would’ve
These people behave as though they were lucky to get these govt jobs and they’ll never work again if they’re fired.
Just remember when our democracy falls at the hands of trump, it was only ever worth a few hundred million to trump. A few pieces of silver for the bible people.
Trump has committed more crimes than Bernie Madoff.
The case of John Wilkes (1770) by William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham
” . . . Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who possess it; and this I know, my Lords, that WHERE LAW ENDS, TYRANNY BEGINS!”

John Locke states in Section 202 of Chap. XVIII “Of Tyranny” in Book II of the ‘Two Treatises of Government’ (published 1689) that even magistrates must abide by the law.

“Fmr. Mueller Attorney Expresses ‘Personal Regret’ ” about not being able to “follow the money.” Therefore, the Mueller investigation should now be re-opened and #DJT should be impeached again, this time on charges of on-going tax fraud (i.e. fraudulently paying family members as consultants). May fellow Americans accordingly tell #ImPOTUS45 “You’re fired” on Nov 3rd by overwhelmingly voting for the exact opposite instead of more #MourningInAmerica.
You didn’t follow the money. That is the first rule of any investigation. You failed to do what was needed.
I gotta know what’s up with the farm tractor seat on the shelf. Art piece, or off grandpa’s tractor?
Never forget: The GOP Senators did not ask questions. They would not hear the truth. In the impeachment process the did the same. No witnesses, rush to a decision not to impeach the President. They are responsible for the decline of America.
Every Senator who voted to keep Trump in office during the impeachment trial should be indicted for obstruction of justice.
Mueller was a huge disappointment to Americans expecting some Justice.
You had a chance but were too cowardly to push the envelope and now look what you’ve got.
Ooh. Another book deal. Fascinating.
What?everyone to cowardly to DO THEIR JOBS!!! Trump isn’t worth it!! No one is!! Alot of needless dead.wtf
We thought Mueller and Weissman were the knights white horses but it turns out they were just two more chumps played by Trump and Barr.
The only people barr hoodwinked were people who didn’t listen when he showed you who he was back in 1985 with Iran-Contra. Silly rabbit, tricks are for ho’s and you got jacked!
Our system of checks and balances are only as good as the people responsible for doing the checking. Never before has our country been so let down by the people who should know better, from the rank hypocrisy of the supposed ‘Party of Lincoln’ to otherwise fine public servants like Mueller who was more concerned his public image as an impartial person instead of doing what was required. Archie Cox, and to a lesser extent, Leon Jaworski would’ve never done that. Very few people in positions of power will look good in history after this.
the desperation from the left wait until tomorrow after you see how much Joe fumbles tonight
Trump’s nightmare reign of terror will end on 20 January 2021.
BS bunch of cowards afraid of an angry tweet.
I can see this debate two sided, one side educated, speaks clearly, well mannered, directly to the point, thinks highly of human lives, honors all miltary past, present, Show respect, can up hold the United States Constitution and oath of office.
Blame Mueller all you want , it’s the Republican Repersentives and GOP who are really the blame.
The other side, inpeach, Toxic, bulling, rude , lieing, cheater in all counts, show no respect for human lives, Degrades miltary personnel past and persent, dosen’t up hold the oath of office and the United States Constitution
I’m not investigating nor a prosecutor and let me add Nor would not want to be one because I strongly believe that they do pick and choose who and what they investigate but even I know follow the money
