A summing up of the days procedings from the comments section of an article in National Review by David French....
Mr. Mueller:
"But despite the DOJ's OLC policy, we could make a prosecutorial decision that the evidence was insufficient to prove that no member of the Trump campaign or any other American conspired with the Russian government or their agents to subvert the 2016 election.
But don't ask me about any details contained in the report with my full name on its cover page because I don't know any of the details contained in that report. And don't ask me about whether we investigated the credibility of the witnesses who we used to support our version of the facts because assessing their credibility was beyond the purview of my investigation. And don't ask me about the potential interest, bias, or prejudices of the staff that I hired because I determined they were the ones best able to get the job done."
Question by unnamed Congressman: "Mr. Mueller. Then what was the job with which you were tasked?"
Mueller: "That's beyond my purview."
