Of course Barr spins this like crazy to support the Russian puppet. Waiting for Adam Schiff (and other Democratic Congresspeople) to pronounce on this. And waiting to see if the media report their responses in a prominent way.
The good news: Loads of redactions in the report concerning âongoing matters,â which we hope will get investigated and prosecuted.
The bad news: The US attorneys in charge of said ongoing matters report to Barr and Barr can defund, underfund, order a halt to, order a half-assed job on, etc., any and all of these investigationsânot to mention give his best buds Jay, Rudy, and Emmet a collegial heads up about whatâs getting discovered.
Nadlerâs job #1: Find out what each and every ongoing matter is and bird-dog DOJ mercilessly on the quality and thoroughness of the investigations.

Seriously. I canât help wondering if the game here is to leave enough âdamningâ material unredacted that some people stop considering is all that important to go after the REAL shit hidden under the redactions.

Iâve been listening to them since Barr got done with his poor PR stunt.
They are reporting this quite well as far as I can tell.
They just quoted part that said ââŚthe OSC did not determine that the Trump campaign violated any foreign influence or campaign finance lawsâŚâ
WUT?!!!
Trump Tower Moscow anyone?
Man not only is this a whitewash but itâs a really bad one.

To be honest, I was expecting quite a bit more black boxes on these pages. I think you may be on to something.

A dash, a sprinkle, a mere soupçon of redaction.

Unfortunately, I am working and listening, so I missed that comment. What did strike me earlier is that they made a BIG point that Barr has said that the rule that you canât indict a sitting pres was NOT applied to the case by Mueller while coming to their conclusions.
BUT âŚthe report says the Mueller team did consult the DOJâs counsel on this very topic.
This has been confirmed by various stories. Not only did they hack into state databases but they also changed information in some of them.
This may explain why the poll worker asked me if sheâd seen me there earlier that day when I voted in 2016. Uh, no, maâam, I just came from workâŚ
This isnât the first time Barr has pulled this whitewash bullshit.

Wow talk about a slow download!
Turned off MSNBC on my steam-powered desk-top to speed things up. I hope.
Then there are those of us who believe that everything should be hunted down and rooted out. I think Nadler and Schiff are going to be very, very busy for the remainder of this congressional cycle.

Thatâs the face of a political hack.
Itâs not the face of a functioning Attorney General.

Consider the slow download to be a GOOD thing. It shows that We The People have an exceptionally strong interest in this subject. Or it shows that the Russians and/or the GOP are trying to interfere with the download rates to keep us ignorant.

MSNBC just said Barr shouldâve stated that Trump escaped legal jeopardy by the hair of his chin.
No, Traitor Trump got away with it because the entire thing was rigged by Republican co-conspirators.
