The Trump administration is preparing to release a redacted version of the DNI whistleblower complaint to Congress to quash the growing calls for President Donald Trump’s impeachment, and to assuage lawmakers angry at the blatant disregard for oversight law.
I’d love to have them release a phony reacted version and then have the WB show up and fill in all the gory details.
The redacted version of the Mueller report worked for them so far so why wouldn’t they try it with the WB complaint?
Yeah. This is the Barr playbook (which itself is entirely consistent with Putin-style #deza/disinformation techniques): put out a competing/bowdlerized version, obfuscate the obvious alterations by harrumphing in front of a gullible TV media, create enough confusion that enough of the voters give up and conclude that “truth is not knowable.”
Another attempt to “Bill Barr” the truth.
They are simply trying to seize control of the narrative here just like they did with the Mueller Report, counting on the lazy and feckless MSM to do their dirty work for them.
Pelosi should say in public that Congress won’t even look at the redacted complaint; Congress and the American people will settle for nothing less than the full complaint and testimony from the whistleblower. Impeachment full steam ahead. Enough dicking around.
Nope. If Barr has done nothing else, he’s already got Mob-style cutouts in place. Barr will skate. Trump will go to jail, unless he’s able to extort blanket pardon from Pence, a la Nixon/Ford.
