So you’re saying Mueller is lying in his own report? That even though he said expressly that the OLC decision led to his inability to exonerate or prosecute the president, that the uncorroborated testimony of Barr is the ultimate truth? Again, give me a link where Mueller agreed with Barr’s testimony and I’ll drop it.
Those are your words not mine. Mueller told Barr that the OLC was not a factor, when asked pointedly by Barr three times. That isn’t Barr intuiting what Mueller was thinking, that was Mueller telling him. And I never claimed that someone quoting the Mueller report was twisting Mueller’s words. I clearly said interpreting Mueller’s intentions.

Motivated reasoning. Confirmation bias.
Give me a link where Mueller confirms what Barr said. That’s all I need.
Ah now you see what they do…

Are you claiming you read the report?
Thus far you have pointed to the introductory ground rules laid out by Mueller. You haven’t provided the single statement where Mueller categorically states that if not for the OLC he would have found obstruction. There is no such statement. There is however a statement by Mueller to Barr stating that the OLC played no role.

It’s not “lib” tripe. It’s government tripe.
Keep on moving those goal posts. And claiming I said things I didn’t.

Huh???
Mueller and Barr were having a discussion. Barr testified under oath to Congress what Mueller said about the OLC. Mueller never publicly confirmed Barr’s testimony, nor should he.
Except for the legal definitions/glossary and redacted parts.

So I have a direct quote from the Mueller report stating the OLC was the determining factor. You have the uncorroborated testimony of Barr saying Mueller told him the exact opposite.
I’ll stick with Mueller on this one.

I do. Is there some quiz I need to be preparing for?
You are the one who claimed Mueller stated the OLC was a factor in his decision. I’m rebutting that categorically. Thus far you haven’t pointed to anything but the introductory ground rules.
And for your edification, this isn’t the first time I’ve had this discussion. I’m not making it up as I go along.
Show me the direct quote. And please don’t point me to the introductory ground rules again. 
I claimed it? Mueller literally said it in his report and I gave his exact quote. I didn’t have to claim anything. Mueller wrote it himself.

Would it make a difference?
You didn’t provide a direct quote from Mueller stating categorically that he would have found obstruction if not for the OLC opinion. You’ve simply pointed to the introductory ground rules.
