I will go ahead and share my potential nonsense, here.
While people are quick to jump on what Mueller seemed to do to Barr - what is missed is what Mueller failed to do for the deep state.
Mueller is passing the buck.
From our own personal standpoints - where we measure our character based on the truth and honesty of our actions - Mueller thus appears wishy-washy and to be unwilling to take a strong stance one way or the other.
This will be par for the course as his career is dug into… But this kind of role is needed. I can almost assure you that Mueller has been there the whole time, making sure that when the questions start being asked, he can point and say "not my decision."
Knowing what you know of Uranium One - imagine how fun that is going to get.
What is interesting, however, is the line of POTUS's questions about why Mueller didn't investigate Comey. Obviously, if there was a conflict of interest - that would be a poor choice for investigation. Also, there is another point, and it is one that goes back to when we were on CBTS and people were arguing that we were making a parallel construction.
That is actually prohibited by law in many regards. You can't do parallel construction.
So - IF - there was already an investigation into Comey, Bannon, the insurance policy, etc - THEN - Mueller could not also investigate it for the purposes of filing legal charges and would simply be referring any issues or violations.
To Huber, who is investigating those things… On behalf of the Senate, if my understanding of things is correct.
