Mueller Testimony Frustrates Both Parties by Rarely Straying From His Report

Masood Farivar

   WASHINGTON - "I'll refer you to the report on that."

   "That's accurate based on what's in the report."

   "I don't want to wade in those waters."

   So it went for more than five hours as former special counsel Robert
   Mueller appeared before two congressional committees Wednesday to
   testify about his investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S.
   presidential election and alleged presidential obstruction of justice,
   closely hewing to a final report he submitted to Attorney General
   William Barr in March.

   Ahead of his appearance before the House judiciary and intelligence
   committees, Mueller, a former FBI director, had warned that he'd not
   stray beyond his 448-page legal thicket. He stuck to his word,
   frustrating both Democrats and Republicans in the process.
