I’m less optimistic than others it seems about this report tomorrow. Barr has already shown he’s devoted to a coverup, and his category of “anything that might embarrass anyone not a target of the investigation” which is some insane thing he made up is more than enough to just censor anything negative about Donald or his family.
I’ve heard people opine that he must know it will come out eventually “and then he’ll look bad” if he misled, therefore he won’t, but get a grip. As we learned over the past few days he did exactly the same thing years ago, it was indeed shown that he had lied his ass off in his summary, and when the truth came out he was so shamed and shunned that he only ended up as Attorney General of the United States after a successful and enriching law career.
I think there’s some chance the unredacted report will come out eventually, but Donald and his operative Barr are just aiming to keep the false narrative in the forefront as long as they can, and seeing how many mainstream pundits gobbled it eagerly out of their hand must have been awfully encouraging.
Color me not excited. Mueller was weak and failed, just in leaving Barr to decide whether all the obstruction evidence meant that Trump had done something illegal. If he didn’t mean to leave it to Barr then he should have spoken up.
