This idiot Barr must think that if this little redaction here, little redaction there process goes on long enough people will lose interest. Oh, and they get to sit in a secure room to read it. What a nasty piece of work this guy is.
The Department of Justice will give congressional leaders the chance to view a less-redacted version of special counsel Robert Muellerâs report,
says Scooter Libby wannabe, William Barr.
Iâm certainly grateful that Dear Leaderâs guardians (fka the DOJ) have deigned to allow the peopleâs representatives a âlessâ edited version of the investigationâs report that we paid for. I feel blessed, indeed.
Fuck that noise. Demand they turn over the full report by E.O.D. File suit on Monday after they refuse.
Sooooo⌠They can only view it during bankerâs hours, on a week when Congress is in recess and most people are out of townâŚ
Hey Barr, John Mitchell served 19 months in jail for his role in Watergate.
Just sayinââŚ
Oh, believe me, honey, the Dems are going to end up seeing a lot more than your âless redactedâ report, since your original âredactedâ report provided about as much cover for Trumpâs criminality as a roll of Saran Wrap.
They are going to release the newest version to Congress in two formats: Esperanto and Aramaic.
Has anyone disputed the facts of the report? Not bad, for a bunch of angry, deep state mutinous democrats!
âAnd the week after that, Congress can have the full report, because a judge will order that. And the week after that, Congress can have all the grand jury stuff, in accordance with that court order! See, that way, new revelations of criminal conduct for at least a month. Then Congress can start the public hearings and call all the perpetrators to appear. That will go on for months. Our strategy is brilliant, no?â
Barr must have said Mueller found âno collusionâ a dozen times yesterday, obviously to stroke Donâs ego. What a suck up. In the report Mueller makes a point of there being no such legal term and steers away from it in the rest of the document.
wow, must be bad if they have to gear up for a week to read it /S
the audacity to dribble it out over time, WTF difference does it make, release the damn report
Bet itâs gonna be a happy time at More-e-Coli this weekendâŚ
Fuck these crooks and their Chinese water torture.
It is assuring that a CO-EQUAL branch of my government is being treated the way the Constitution demands. I was afraid all the Presidentâs men were going to tell Congress to go screw themselves. Or treat them like preschoolers.
Congress can Only View a less redacted version of the Mueller report next week is Total Bullsh*t. The Full Report and all Evidence and Testimony must be turned in to Congress, anything less is Unacceptable.
House Chairs issue statement on release of Special Counsel Muellerâs Report
âDespite a series of statements and letters by Attorney General Barr which mischaracterized Special Counsel Robert Muellerâs findings â beginning with his four-page summary almost a month ago, his congressional testimony last week, and todayâs misleading press conference â the Special Counselâs report speaks for itself and explicitly does not exonerate the president. Attorney General Barr misrepresented important aspects of the Special Counselâs findings and provided the White House advance access to the report.
âTaken as a whole, Muellerâs report paints a damning portrait of lies that appear to have materially impaired the investigation, a body of evidence of improper contacts with a foreign adversary, and serious allegations about how President Trump sought to obstruct a legitimate, and deeply important, counterintelligence investigation.
âWe are profoundly troubled by the astonishing efforts by President Trump identified in the report to obstruct the investigation, including his attempts to remove the Special Counsel and encourage witnesses to lie and to destroy or conceal evidence. In direct contradiction to the statements of the Attorney General this morning that the Special Counsel did not consider Department of Justice policy against indicting a sitting president, the Special Counsel stated that âfairness concerns counseled against potentially reaching that judgment [of criminal conduct] when no charges can be brought.â Nor do we believe it was the Attorney Generalâs place to make such a judgment, either, and it is now apparent that the Special Counsel expressed no desire to have Barr make that decision himself. Instead, as the Special Counsel undoubtedly anticipated, it must fall to Congress to assess the Presidentâs improper, corrupt and immoral conduct in an effort to obstruct the investigation.
âDespite redactions that appear to obscure important details, the Special Counselâs report finds that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 election in a âsweeping and systematicâ fashion in order to assist the candidacy of Donald Trump, and that the Trump campaign was aware of those efforts and expected it would benefit electorally from Russiaâs efforts. Contrary to Attorney General Barrâs statements, the report catalogues the extensive interactions between Russian officials and agents and Trump campaign associates of a profoundly compromising nature. The report details how Russia deployed a multi-faceted intelligence operation and sought to exploit and influence the Trump campaign and transition, while the Trump campaign, beginning with candidate Trump, sought to benefit from a hostile foreign intelligence operation.
âThe report also details the multiple convictions of Trump campaign officials and associates secured by the Special Counsel for crimes related to obstructing the investigation, which hampered the investigation, according to the Special Counsel. In addition, the report outlines efforts to destroy evidence, conceal evidence through encrypted apps, and otherwise interfere with the Special Counselâs ability to conduct this investigation. This apparent coordinated effort to cover up illicit contacts and links with Russia should concern all Americans, whether or not criminal charges were brought.
âAlthough the details of the report are shocking, much of it still remains redacted and many questions remain. We must get the full report and the underlying evidence, including grand jury material, in order to perform our constitutional duties, including deciding whether new legislation is necessary. Special Counsel Muellerâs fact-gathering has concluded. It is now Congressâ responsibility to review and assess the evidence.â
In camera view is bullshit. This is not Barrâs report. It doesnât belong to him. He has no legal or constitutional role where an investigation of the sitting POTUS is concerned. Hand over the whole report including all underlying evidence now.
