A week after Mueller submitted his report, we catch up with Peter van Buren, who was a consistent skeptic of the Russiagate narrative.Van Buren was fired from the State Department in retaliation for his book, We Meant Well, which detailed his year in Iraq, squandering American dollars on reconstruction projects. You can read his recent commentaries here.
We talk about AG Barr’s 4-page summary of the Mueller report, and the clear indication that no “collusion” was found between the Russian government and the Trump campaign.
We also go into detail about Barr’s report that Mueller reached no conclusion about obstruction of justice, and express different views, especially relating to the standards of evidence needed for impeachment.
And van Buren shares his thinking about why Trump fired FBI Director Comey, which he explains in this column.
