After weeks when Mr. Barr had served as the public face of the Mueller report, Mr. Mueller reclaimed the document as his own with his first, and perhaps last, public statement about the investigation since being appointed special counsel two years ago. He made clear that it was for others to decide whether to accuse Mr. Trump of breaking the law — perhaps members of Congress, perhaps future prosecutors. Mr. Mueller’s delivery was sometimes halting, but his message was firm.Mr. Barr, at a news conference shortly before he released the Mueller report last month, repeatedly emphasized that the special counsel had not established “collusion” between the Trump campaign and Russia. Mr. Mueller opened with a sobering account focused on Russia’s “concerted attack on our political system” that was meant to “interfere with our election and to damage a presidential candidate.”

在巴尔成为穆勒报告的公众发言人几周后，穆勒重新夺回了对这份文件的发言权，自两年前被任命为特别检察官以来，这是他第一次，或许也是最后一次就该调查发表公开声明。他明确表示，是否指控特朗普违法是由其他人来决定的——可能是国会议员，也可能是未来的检察官。穆勒在讲话期间有时会停顿，但他传达的信息是坚定的。巴尔在上个月穆勒报告公布前不久的新闻发布会上反复强调，特别检察官没有声称特朗普竞选团队和俄罗斯之间存在“共谋”。穆勒在演讲开头严肃冷静地重点讲述了俄罗斯“对我们政治体系的协同攻击”，其目的是“干预我们的选举，损害一位总统候选人”。
