    Well I've believed you guys for two when you were telling me to just wait it would be, Trump would be kicked out of office and sent to prison along with his kids and all his close associates.

    Well none of that was found, end of story, take your ball and go home.

    Indeed. I find it amusing that the Dems inside the House of Representative and therefore also the entire DNC are now working for Putin. That is spelled C-o-l-l-u-s-i-o-n.

    Without reading Mueller's letter, that leaves us with a choice to believe the WaPo, with clear, unambiguous quotes from the letter, or somebody paid to additionally spin for the man who already spun...

    Wow... a real head scratcher...

    Typical Trumpian BS.. so Mueller didn't use the phrase "misleading" and instead went with "did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance".... tomato/tomahto....

    The Washington COMPost is a commie propaganda outlet. They can never be trusted.

    You are hearing about it now because it was leaked to WAPO and they wanted to put a spin on a non event before Barr testifies to the Senate tomorrow. Barr will enlighten the public that spying did take place, among other things dems don't want to hear. The corrupt left wing media are culpable tools of left wing congress.

    Oh no still waiting on that impeachment and those indictments of the Trump family. Hell I'm waiting on Mules to say to say Barr made him write no collusion or corroboration of any kind. Don't stop believing though, I mean no reason to not keep the 3 year democrat hoax alive.

    He's already said that........I prefer a little evidence with my enlightenment.... Bet he doesn't come through with that....

    Also bet he shows up in the House on Thursday... And his complaint about lawyers doing the questioning instead of the committee is just plain silliness... It's gotta be better for both the witness and the viewing public to have professional questioners doing the legwork... very few on either side have those skills (although Nadler is one)..

    Because he's a coward(I read the CNN link to get the actual story behind the letter.) Turns out Mueller's principle complaint was that the summary didn't detail the specifics. Well, duh, summaries don't do that. You can argue Barr shouldn't have released a summary, but this is around the same time the scumbag Nadler was threatening Barr with a subponea. He probably thought the summary would chill it for a bit.

    Unfortunately, that was a major mistake on his part.

    CNN doesn't quote the actual letter after being outscooped by the WaPo

    Mueller's actual complaint is that the summary “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance” of Mueller’s work... and it's in quotes for a reason....

    I know Trumpers generally prefer to deal with one word catchphrases, but that is basically Mueller (nicely for history) saying Barr's summary was bullshit. there's a one word catchphrase....

    LOL... yeah, I saw that..... which is amazing, as I'm waiting for the official Trumper redaction pct to go DOWN to zero at some point... In fact, I think it's possible somebody will claim Barr somehow ADDED valuable text to the Mueller report

    Didja see the great line - "Barr released the full report with only about 6% redacted"?? That's a neo-classic...

    Well sure... but did you think Mueller would put his concerns in a formal letter to the AG?? I didn't.... (although I hoped he would)

    Here is another link to the news report:

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/mueller-frustrated-barr-over-portrayal-findings-000730713--politics.html

    One of the things that caught my eye:

    "After the Attorney General received Special Counsel Mueller's letter, he called him to discuss it," Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said in a statement.

    "In a cordial and professional conversation, the Special Counsel emphasized that nothing in the Attorney General's March 24 letter was inaccurate or misleading. But, he expressed frustration over the lack of context and the resulting media coverage regarding the Special Counsel's obstruction analysis,"

    I expected Mueller to testify even before the report was released and I am very interested in what he says. I don't think he will give the (D)s the happy ending they were hoping for.

    It does speak for itself. Too bad Barr had to speak for it.

    That is true in very significant ways. That newspaper and what it supports is Anti-American. They want BIG GOVERNMENT which is what our country was founded on to avoid. They want what Communists have. Centralized Power and Control with a huge government dictating to the populace.

    Funny thing about substance: It depends on the reader. Of course, it doesn't have to. If the author makes definitive statements, then there's not much to read into. But the author, as much as he is today: Is principally, a coward. Making definitive statements is not something he's good at.

    Otherwise, he'd have released the report HIMSELF. We know this also because every time there was a public announcement, he had Rosenstein do it for him.

    You don't get to have others speak on your behalf, then not like it when they say something you don't agree with.

    Is that the narrative the GOP is going with? That Mueller is a "coward"?

    Mueller and his team found enough evidence that 12 investigations are ongoing into Trump and his team for other concerns.

    The obstruction of justice case has been left for Congress and or the next administration.

    'Narrative'? Then do you think it was 'brave' to put his precious report in a position where it could be misconstrued by Barr? It's two years of behavior by this man. I've always thought he was a coward.
