Well played, Madam Speaker

Major pushback needed, if it isn’t already too late. I feel like I’m living in 2002-03 again, with the media getting bigly played these last 24 hours…

This is good stuff. We Dems have lost many of these kinds of turf wars: 2000 & FL, the Iraq War debate, Kavanaugh, Cheney/Scooter Libby/Fitzmas. This one is winnable because Trump holds a weak hand and shield. Get that report and he’s done.

Stacy Abrams of Ga described Barr statement brilliantly: “like having your brother summarize your report card to your parents.”

Too late.
The meme is now set in STONE by the feckless and corrupt MSM who could not WAIT to exonerate their Carney-Barker-in-Chief. The worst of the bunch is the NYT who have meekly rolled over and begged the White House to scratch their belly in complete surrender of reality. At least now we know how they will cover the 2020 elections…

This is what Orange Blab said just the other day:
“I don’t mind,” Trump told reporters when asked if the public should see the report. “Let it come out, and let people see it… I mean, frankly, I told the House, If you want, let them see it.”
But of course he’ll sing another tune this week if he has not already because he seems incapable of truthfulness.
Yeah, we may eventually see the report, but what we’ll see is black redactions.

Clearly she did not have the brother some of us did!

I have been saying things like “doomsdaying and glooming” the last few days. The reason I had been doing that had a lot to do with my being a historian dealing with large groups. Panic is contagious and enervating. Large scale gloom is fatal.
Moreover, I was afraid that the despair I have been seeing was reflective of public sentiment. We have to get this Mob Boss out of the White House…and Nancy’s leadership is greatly needed.
ETA But, speaking as a person…in terms of resolve and determination, my optimism is outdone by my wife’s.

Trump is a goldmine of ratings, pageviews, etc. The “Failing NYT’s” is not going to let that gravy train go silently. Nor is cable news, even the beloved MSNBC. How many outlets fear going out of business if a scandal-free Democrat wins in 2020?

They just look (more) stupid when the truth comes out.

Fan of Canetti?
Or, if you have even larger groups in mind, then I insist on questioning the value of your analysis!

Well she needs to lead her committee heads to the subpoena pen. Currently they all seem a little afraid to do anything more than send some stern letters. Cohen was really some low hanging fruit, though my inbox was flooded with fundraising emails.

Lindsey Graham has already gone on the record advocating release of the report:
Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) praised Barr after the Senate vote and said he was confident the attorney general nominee would allow Mueller to finish his investigation without political interference. Graham predicted that when it came to Mueller’s final report, Barr would "err on the side of transparency."
“When it comes to Bill Barr, I can only tell my Democratic colleagues there is nobody better that I know to recommend to you,” he said. "This is as good as it gets on our side.

Here’s another good talking point (emphasis added):
… the William Barr memo everyone is reading to clear Trump and his flunkies of a conspiracy with Russia actually only clears the Trump campaign and those associated with it of conspiring or coordinating with the Russian government in its efforts to hack into computers and disseminate emails for purposes of influencing the election. The exoneration doesn’t even extend to coordinating with WikiLeaks, as Roger Stone is alleged to have done (though that, by itself, is not a crime).
More significantly, it is silent about whether Trump and his flunkies conspired with Russia in a quid pro quo trading election assistance and a real estate deal for policy considerations, the very same kind of election year shenanigans Barr has covered up once before with Iran-Contra.
