[QUOTE="NotreDame, post: 73925783, member: 212558"] There may be more than one “correct course of action” applicable to my hypo. The AG terminating the investigation may one. The other would be the President terminating the investigation. Your reasoning loses its efficacy in a scenario when the President is made known of the fact the investigators have uncovered exculpatory evidence. It’s not reasonable to conclude, as you do, that it’s “improper” and/or “corrupt” for a President, who is subject of an investigation, to terminate an investigation when he is aware the investigators discover exculpatory evidence. Words do not have “spirits,” they have meanings. Typically, when someone isn’t satisfied with where the meaning of the words lead them, they’ll invoke the metaphysical “spirit” of the words approach, which isn’t a very good methodology. I can just as easily say my understanding of the phrase is “certainly” consistent with the “spirit” of the phrase. It’s better to adhere to something more objective, the meaning of the words themselves, as opposed to the metaphysical world of “spirits.” My understanding is not “razor thin mincing of words.” Read the phrase again. The phrase is referencing something belonging to Mueller, and the subject of the phrase is the thing belonging to Mueller, Mueller is not the subject. That’s not a “razor thin mincing of words” but a rational reading of the English language! Cite please? A link please? [/QUOTE]
