MEDIA RELEASE
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senator Mazie K. Hirono (D-Hawaii) issued the following statement after the release of Attorney General Bill Barr’s summary of the Mueller Report.
“Robert Mueller did not exonerate Donald Trump on obstruction of justice. Instead, Attorney General Bill Barr made his own determination consistent with his unsolicited 19-page memo arguing that the President cannot be charged with obstruction of justice. Congress needs to see the full report to assess the underlying evidence. The Senate Judiciary Committee must hear directly from Attorney General Barr and Robert Mueller on this matter as soon as possible.
“I often say that Donald Trump cares about two things: protecting himself and money.
“The President has repeatedly demonstrated he will do or say anything to protect himself. He tried to get Michael Flynn off the hook; he fired James Comey; he tried to get the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan “unrecused;†he directed White House Counsel Don McGahn to fire Robert Mueller; he dangled pardons; he repeatedly insulted and demonized the Special Counsel.
“Now we must ensure that investigations into his questionable financial activities by the Southern District of New York, the Attorney General of the State of New York, and the Manhattan District Attorney, proceed unimpeded.
“The American people deserve all the facts.â€
“The American People deserve all the facts”…Senator Mazie Hirono
Agreed Senator.
I for one would like to see all the facts on:
The Trump investigation
The “Fast and Furious” gun sales run by Eric Holder
The “Bengazi Investigation”, the time line of events and the involvement of Hilary Clinton
The “IRS Investigation: denying tax exempt status to conservative organizations
The “Clinton Server and Classified e-mails”
The “Steele Documents” and the misuse of them to obtain special wiretaps
And while we are at clearing the air, why don’t we investigate the nearly 200 MILLION dollars that Hillary/Bill Clinton and the Clinton foundation received from the Russian Uranium One company to secure 20% of all the uranium mined in the US? Oh, and finally, what did President Obama mean when he wanted to let Putin know he “could be flexible in his second term”?
