Attorney General Barr sat down with CBS This Morning for an interview that will air tomorrow morning. In the short preview they just released AG Barr says Mueller could have reached a decision on obstruction of justice:
NEW: Attorney General Barr tells @JanCBS he “personally felt” Special Counsel Robert Mueller “could’ve reached a decision” on obstruction of justice by President Trump.

Well it makes sense that Barr would say this because both he and Rosenstein did reach a decision on it because they felt it was necessary to do so.
It is interesting though that Barr would answer this as directly as he did. Even the fact that he’s doing this interview suggests to me that he wants to push back against the narrative that Mueller set in motion yesterday.
I can’t wait to hear what else he has to say. We be sure and bring this to you tomorrow morning as soon as we get it.
