Robert Mueller gave a very brief press conference Wednesday morning to discuss his 2 year inquisition.
Mueller took one last stab at Trump and said, “If we had confidence the president DID NOT commit a crime we would have said so.”
Mueller also announced he is retiring from the Justice Department and that he will not be testifying to Congress.
The Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee chaired by Jerry Nadler has been sparring with Mueller over his testimony about the Russia investigation.
Mueller doesn’t want to be grilled by Republican lawmakers who will certainly ask him about his reliance on Hillary’s phony dossier and all of the corruption and conflicts of interest with his team.
Republicans will also want to know why Mueller dragged out his investigation past the 2018 midterms even though he knew early on that Trump did not collude with the Russians.
“I hope and expect this to be the only time that I will speak to you in this manner. I am making that decision myself. No one has told me whether I can or should testify or speak further about this matter,” Mueller said. “There has been discussion about an appearance before Congress — any testimony from this office would not go beyond our report.”
“The work speaks for itself — and the report is my testimony. I would not provide information beyond that which is already public in any appearance before Congress.”
