“First you say you do, and then you don’t…
Then you say you will and then you won’t…”
The All-Time Magnificent Ray Charles would know this mf-er is a goddam Bushie.
A white-bread Alberto Gonzalez, FFS.
This actually seems to be a really, really big deal.
The ideal GOP outcome is to release “the report”, and get credit for doing so, while utterly defanging it to protect their interests. The public will think it exonerates Trump and company, and the Democrats, the IC, and, well, any one who’s been paying attention, will be left grinding their teeth and fruitlessly harping on what will be labeled “old news” and “conspiracy theories”.
We’ve already seen, with Trump’s triumphant crowing over Comey’s “not under investigation”, exactly what will go down.
Barr’s history in the Iran-Contra Pardons and commitment to Whitewater investigations to sully Clinton during an election prove that he is no more than a typical handmaiden to Republican Power. As such he will be a craven toady to serve †Я☭mp and McConnell. Do not vote for this creep. He is lying, obfuscating, and creating workarounds to block Mueller’s full report. His true intentions and brown-nosing predilections are shown fully in that 17-page audition letter.
More and more it seems that a whistleblower of epic proportion will be required to get around all this Republican pirouetting to hide treason. There really are not good people on both sides.
The report will find it’s way free. These sorts of things can’t stay hidden. Someone will find a way to leak it. Perhaps even to a foreign press outlet in Britain, France or Germany, maybe. The Germans would be gleeful at the chance to dump on Trump. My bet is that a contraband copy of the report will turn up before the “official” release.
Should be an immediate disqualifier
We can handle the Truth
Trump Can’t
Every step of the way is met with Republican resistance and roadblocks. There is simply no bottom and no boundary to the bad faith of the GOP. I am beginning to understand, with visceral clarity, the utility of the guillotine and the firing squad.
Remember that Mueller, the author of the report, will see what the AG releases. If it is edited in such a way as to fundamentally change its meaning, will he really stand by and say nothing? He is a by the book kind of guy but that would be very strange.
May you be entirely correct. Then they’ll be left only with the “fake news” fig leaf, which will not be sufficient to hide the treasonous mushroom forever.
It’s nice of him to admit ahead of time to something everyone is already certain of - he’s a shitbag who will obstruct justice at a whim.
As we’ve been told, Mueller is writing the story in the indictments. We’ve got to fight for the rule of law for every good reason, here and everywhere, but Mueller’s a predator and will not be stopped.
I’ve been expecting Mueller to speak through indictments. That’s been the pattern to date. By the time the report is submitted, all the relevant stuff would be public via the courts. But we’ve not seen many indictments lately… wonder if that’s the work of Whitaker? The Special Counsel must submit a report to congress detailing all instances where the AG (or acting AG) has prevented the SC from taking some action - but that does not get reported until the SC is done. We may learn later that Whitaker has been quashing indictments.
The one thing they cannot prevent is Mueller testifying to congress in a public setting. If Barr wants to alter Mueller’s report, let him. We will learn the truth.
And the truth will set us free.
As a successful protector of unindicted co-conspirator George H.W. “Poppy” Bush, he’s well-versed in usurping the law to protect his benefactor(s), with a proven track-record.
That he is even nominated is just another bald-faced effort to make sure “the fix is in.”
This is the SOB that covered up Iran Contra for Ronald Raygun.
What could possibly go wrong here ?
Make no mistake, at this point, any motherfucker willing to work for the Aberration in Chief will not be good for this country.
A covfefe cup on the other hand…
You send it better, but I had the same game show buzzer going off in my head.
It’s now up to the integrity of 53 Republicans, and based on their performance so far (shutdown) there is not a lot of hope for an unbiased decision.
THIS! He is not to be trusted.
The House Dems should be ready to hold a hearing the day after it gets the Mueller report, in which Mueller will be asked “is the report we received the same as the report you submitted to the AG?”
