Special counsel Robert Mueller muttered a “no comment” to an MSNBC reporter Sunday in response to questions about the release of his redacted final report.
MSNBC’s Mike Viqueira confronted Mueller as the special counsel and his wife Ann got into their car following Easter services at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C.
The Muellers were photographed outside the same historic church, which sits steps from the White House and has seen every president since James Madison in its pews, after the special counsel submitted his report to the Justice Department last month.
Viqueira noted the interview didn’t look great.
“This is [what] some people would characterize as an ambush interview of a man coming out of Easter services at church,” he said. “Some passersby weren’t happy that we were doing that.”

"This is [what] some people would characterize as an ambush interview of a man coming out of Easter services at church,” he said.
Perhaps this is because it was an ambush interview of a man coming out of Easter services at church.
Sometimes, things are exactly what they look like.
Swear to god I heard someone say something about Red Lobster.
It would only have only been worse if it was Mueller coming out of the collapsed mine he’d been trapped in for a week and finding an opportunistic journo asking how he came to his report’s conclusions.
Uh yeah, it is an ambush interview.
