NBC晚间新闻 司法部长称会让米勒完成通俄门调查

President trump¹’s attorney general nominee² William Barr says tonight it’s important to let Robert Mueller complete his work adding, the country needs a credible³ resolution of these issues. Barr is also sure to get questions tomorrow about the revelation that the FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation⁴ of president trump in 2017 after he fired FBI director James Comey to see if the president was secretly working with russia. One factor was his comment to Russian officials the next day that the firing took away great pressure because of Russia. Another is what he told Lester about firing Comey. "When I decided⁵ to just do it, I said to myself, I said you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made up story."

The FBI's action followed internal debate but overlaps⁶ with the possible obstruction⁷ of justice. Whether it’s a criminal investigation or a counterintelligence investigation, the FBI is going to be asking the same questions and seeking the same answers. Mueller took over the investigation several days later and nothing made public has ever said the president took direction from the russians. Today he said the investigation was started by FBI people who have been fired and were out to get him. The people doing that investigation were people that have been caught that are known scoundrels -- I guess you could say they’re dirty cops. As for barr, he says it’s important that congress and the public are informed of the results of mueller's investigation.

今晚，特朗普的司法部长候选人威廉·巴尔说，让罗伯特·米勒完成他的调查工作是很重要的，这个国家需要一个可信的方案来解决这些问题。巴尔也肯定会在明天遇到有关这一调查的问题。此前，2017年特朗普总统解雇了FBI局长詹姆斯·科米后，FBI启动了针对特朗普总统的反情报调查，以调查总统是否与俄罗斯秘密合作。其中一个关键因素是他在解雇詹姆斯·科米后第二天对俄罗斯官员说，这样做会消除俄罗斯的巨大压力。另外一个就是特朗普总统跟莱斯特讲的有关解雇詹姆斯·科米的事。“当我决定这么做的时候，我对自己说，你知道，关于特朗普和俄罗斯的事是编造的。” FBI的调查行动是在内部辩论之后进行的，但这与可能妨碍司法公正的调查存在重叠。无论是刑事调查还是反情报调查，FBI都会问同样的问题，寻求同样的答案。几天后米勒接手了调查工作，但没有任何公开的消息称特朗普总统从俄罗斯人那里获得了指示。今天特朗普总统说，调查是由联邦调查局被解雇的人们发起的，他们是来报复他的。那些做调查的人都是被抓过的人，他们是众所周知的恶棍——我想你可以说他们是肮脏的警察。而巴尔则说，重要的是让国会和公众了解米勒调查的结果。
