Mueller drew up obstruction indictment against Trump, Michael Wolff book says

According to Wolff, Mueller’s team drew up both the three-count indictment of Trump and a draft memorandum of law opposing an anticipated motion to dismiss.

Mueller’s spokesman has responded:

The special counsel’s spokesman actually said, “The documents that you’ve described do not exist.” The complication is that they do exist. Wolff has allowed journalists to see them, and says they are “based on internal documents given to me by sources close to the Office of the Special Counsel.”

Therefore, either the special counsel’s office is lying, or Wolff’s documents are forgeries, or some of Mueller’s underlings created them without his knowledge. The special counsel’s office has always shot straight, so it’s hard to believe they would lie now. If they are not forgeries, why was Mueller’s spokesman unaware of them and who created them? If they are forgeries, who forged them? Those questions are more interesting than Wolff’s actual book. It appears that there are more secrets waiting to be revealed.

Here’s the story from The Guardian.

  2. It is possible that a member or members of Mueller’s team did draft an indictment and a memorandum of law, but did so on their own without ever being instructed to do so by Mueller or another supervisor. One of chief criticisms of Mueller was that he had staffed his legal team with too many Democrats. I can see how lawyers that hated Trump who had access to all the information obtained by the investigation might draft such documents either for the fun of it or because they hoped Mueller might someday want them drafted. If that is what happened, the office could truthfully state that there was no draft indictment or memorandum meaning the office had never authorized drafting them. But that doesn’t mean that some members of the team didn’t circulate such drafts amongst themselves. Or Wolff is plain-old full of shit.

  3. Two more possibilities –
    They DID exist, but got shredded when Mueller decided not to move on them.

    Wolff is plain-old full of shit, which has happened before.
