George Conway, counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway’s husband, said that special counsel Robert Mueller wrote his report the way he did to allow Congress and the American people to decide what to make of the facts.
“[I]t’s hard to escape the conclusion that Mueller wrote his report to allow the American people and Congress to decide what to make of the facts. And that is what should — must — happen now,” Conway wrote in an opinion piece published in the Washington Post on Tuesday.
Conway, who is an attorney, also believes that since Mueller’s report does not exonerate Trump, it means there “must be something pretty damning in it about him [Trump].”
Attorney General William Barr summarized Mueller’s findings over the weekend, which he said did not provide any evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. The report, however, also did not exonerate Trump from obstruction of justice throughout the duration of the Russia investigation.
“Americans should expect far more from a president than merely that he not be provably a criminal. They should expect a president to comport himself in accordance with the high duties of his office,” Conway wrote.
“If the charge were unfitness for office, the verdict would already be in: guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.”
