Summery in March (SCO v 31)

That's a harsh (implicit) attack on Barr's character. Why do you question his character this way?

Furthermore, given that Mueller publicly denounced Buzzfeed's misreporting of his investigation just two months ago, I think it's unlikely he would sit idly by if the AG blatantly mischaracterized his investigation.



Barr represents the DOJ. His job was to give a fair, legally accurate summary of the Mueller report's conclusion. 'Collusion' is not even a legal term in this context, so of course Barr didn't use that word.

Barr is a white house cabinet member...he flirted hard with bs to make it sound as good for Trump as possible, and he did it purposely without lying or totally ruining his credibilty. When it comes out and the report basically trashes Trump (which you and I both know is not going to be a glowing endorsement of Trump, fair or not), Barr will have given Trump all Trump could have hoped for...several weeks to pretend he was cleared to get some sort of positive spin out there.

A case in point on being disingenuous...Barr could literally have said how many pages were in the report and given some indication of it's length and taken time to review it...but he wasn't after review, he was after a temporary win for Trump. Barr likely told Trump, I'm not gonna outright lie and I can't totally spin this, but I'll put MY STAMP of judgement on it and you can declare victory before we inevitably have to deal with the bad news within.

Barr played politics, I don't think he's some devil or even a bad person, and I think he agrees with what he says in his letter...but he knows full well most people aren't going to see it the way he does. Two things are 100%...Trump knows what is in the report, and Barr has told him he can't keep it secret, though he can delay it.

Now we wait, Barr has done his duty to the president and I'd assume from now on he's off that "repayment for the job" train and Trump is just going to have to deal with whatever comes out. Frankly, this move on healthcare will hurt more than anything in the Mueller report. That tactic is really weird, unless he just knows there is something awful in the Mueller report that's going to come out and he's just going to go ham on red meat for the base from here on out to keep his core supporters, which are his ultimate protection in the senate.

I would accept it from either side. I'm not republican or democrat so none of that stuff matters to me. He stated they didn't find that anyone in the Trump team colluded and even stated that on the OOJ subject they found evidence for it and against it. Not sure why he wouldn't do the same for the collusion angle. Either way apparently the report is being redacted as we speak and then it will be given to congress.

I trust the work of Bob Mueller, whatever it says is fine by me and I won't argue a bit.

Jesus, are you still arguing that point? Barr would have to be crazy to misstate Mueller’s conclusions, knowing that the whole country is watching. He’s been AG before and he did so honorably—his reputation is at least as good as Mueller’s. Moreover, Barr and Mueller are friends. Mueller attended Barr’s kid’s wedding. There’s simply no chance that Mueller’s report contradicts Barr’s letter. You are prolonging your suffering. Just get over it and find a new subject.

it was a lawyerly letter, with spin and with Barr SUGGESTING that Mueller left it to him, for example, to decide on Obstruction. Literally nobody believes that is the case but Barr has every right to offer his opinion. If it says in the Mueller report that Mueller believed it should be left to congress, Barr will have hurt his reputation and he will have some 'splainin to do, regardless of his rights to offer his opinion and judgement, because that's not what he is inferring in the letter. Barr also refrained from quoting the Mueller report for a reason...and it wasn't because it benefited him or Trump...to put it mildly.

It was shared into a law school meme group.

I'm sorry that your political maturity is such that the hairstyle and sex of a speaker is vital to their message.

Oh' well pardon me. Who am I to question the integrity and investigative acumen of a "law school meme group" over Robert Mueller? Carry on.

That tweet isn't questioning the integrity or investigative acumen of Robert Mueller. It's questioning the ability or willingness of conservatives to correctly interpret the summary of his findings.

Also, you're free to look up that woman. She's a HuffPo reporter who worked for a newspaper on Capitol Hill for a few years.

Everyone makes mistakes.

Next time do your best to consider that meme group before offering your opinion.

Thanks...

He quotes a chick talking about a cat and chicken, then tells you 'dude it's from a meme group' and expects you to be all like "Dude, my bad, you're right"

And for the cherry on-top, he adds she is a 'huffpo reporter'
