Bill Barr To Lindsey Graham: I Was Surprised Mueller Let Me Decide On Obstruction 5/1/19

During his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee today, Attorney General William Barr criticized Robert Mueller‘s investigation several times and said he was surprised as to why the special counsel let him make a decision on obstruction charges against President Donald Trump.
“As to obstruction, were you surprised he was going to let you decide?” Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) asked.
“Yes, I was surprised,” Barr replied, adding that he thought the “very purpose” of Mueller’s investigation was to make their own prosecutive judgment on the matter.
“[What] was confusing to me is that the investigation carried on for a while as additional episodes were looked into — episodes involving the president,” Barr added. “And so my question is or was, why were those investigated if, at the end of the day, you weren’t going to reach a decision on them?”
