If Mueller had finished his report before the 2019-2020 Congress was sworn in, he could have saved the GOP controlled Congressional committees the trouble of reading his report by sending it directly to the shredder. But now that there is at least one committee that does want to read it, Attorney General Barr stands in the way while he bowdlerizes the report. Congress will have to sue Barr to see the original report. That will take a few years to get to the Supreme Court, which is controlled by Republicans, who will probably rule in Barr's favor.

If the Watergate Report is any guide, I'll get to read Mueller's report in about 40 years. www.bostonglobe.com/news/nation/2018/10/31/archivists-release-watergat

Trump said that the report "exonerates" him, but now he's afraid to let Congress see a report that he says today proves his innocence:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Why should Radical Left Democrats in Congress have a right to examine the $35,000,000 (two years in the making) No Collusion Mueller Report, when the crime committed was by Crooked Hillary, the DNC and Dirty Cops? Attorney General Barr will make the decision!

This is, of course, the weakest volley. It’s absurd, patent bad faith, for Russiagaters to pretend that they knew, thought, or suggested the Mueller investigation was irrelevant. It is they who have been insisting that the integrity and super-sleuthiness of the “revered” Robert Mueller himself was the thing that would nail Donald Trump for Russian collusion. To now deny that any of that was important only acknowledges how thoroughly they have been fooling the American people and/or themselves for two years. Either Adam Schiff had the goods on Trump’s traitorous Russian collusion two years ago, in which case he’s got a lot of explaining to do about why he’s been stringing us along with Mueller, or Schiff is just bluffing.



But even Russiagater skeptics fail to mention that the damage has already been done:

Under the guise of protecting us from "Russian influence", conservative and alternate sources are being silenced across the internet, as they have been eliminated and/or isolated from the M$M. As Obama's Rahm Emmanuel once said "Never let a good crisis go to waste", especially when it's a crisis that you have created yourself, one with multiple goals: Throw Trump from office, and/or effect the 2018 elections, and/or distract Trump from achieving his "make nice with Russia" goals, and/or appeal to the base, and/or corral the liberal internet giants into doing your censorship for you. They may have failed to get rid of Trump (so far) but they've succeeded in several other goals.

We shouldn't waste this constitutional crisis. Trump's presidency offers a unique opportunity. Trump's norm-smashing has an upside: There's an opening for bipartisan reform so no president can do this again.

Among the public there appears to be consensus on three key norms: Power should be divided and accountable; all public officials, including the president, are subject to the rule of law; and government service is a public trust, not a private opportunity.

Trump challenges all three.

The most recent flashpoints regard whether clear statutory language giving congressional committees access to anyone’s tax returns, including the president, will be respected, along with Attorney General William Barr’s view that the president cannot obstruct justice because is he is justice.

The most promising opportunity for action is the still unresolved crisis raised by Trump’s emergency declaration expropriating Treasury funds for a border wall -- even after such funding had been explicitly rejected by Congress.

Your usual response is "lol", but "Un huh" is far more insightful. When Trump vetoed the congressional resolution disapproving of his emergency declaration, the one that purportedly enables him to seize the power of the purse from Congress, he clearly signaled that he intends to make aggressive use of the powers the National Emergency Act gives him. For if a president, in response to a long-standing public policy problem, (which the border is), can declare a national Emergency, expropriate appropriations made for one purpose by Congress and divert them to another purpose explicitly rejected by Congress, he has become a virtual dictator as long as one-third of either house of Congress is intimidated or cajoled into supporting him.

Such insight! You've gone far beyond "lol" and "Un huh" , but I'm not sure I ever pretended that Trump was a mature adult. He always struck me as fatso baby man who does not plan ahead. For example: Chris Wallace to Sarah Sanders: "Is The President Serious" About Plan To Send Illegal Immigrants To Sanctuary Cities? Her short answer: yes. Her long answer: He will lose interest and devise a different childish plan, which he also will not implement because he is a baby man with a short attention span.

So talk. You might want to talk about how you know so much factual information about me and my non-self-awareness. Is all your information only from what I told you? How do we know about Trump? I am pretty sure if there were no eyes on Trump, except his own, we could not depend upon what Trump said about Trump. Or maybe we can, but not in the admiring way he thinks he appears:

"I'm also honored to have the greatest temperament that anybody has." —Trump, November 3, 2016
www.thoughtco.com/donald-trump-quotes-2733859

'I had some beautiful pictures taken in which I had a big smile on my face. I looked happy, I looked content, I looked like a very nice person, which in theory I am.' -- Trump
www.tatler.com/article/donald-trump-worst-quotes

This last Trump quote is particularly for you, 6ixStringJack, assuming you didn't lie about your girlfriend's abortion (and she didn't lie):

“Do you believe in punishment for abortion – yes or no – as a principle?”

Trump: “The answer is there has to be some form of punishment.”

“For the woman?”

Trump: “Yeah, there has to be some form.”

Trump fired Jeff Sessions because Sessions would not stop Special Counsel Mueller's witch hunt. Trump replaced Sessions with William Barr, who has a long history of exonerating Presidents. Then Trump acted like Mueller, not Barr, had exonerated Trump. Signym, are you aware of that?

Why would Trump wait to fire Sessions until the report was almost done? Wouldn't it have made more sense to fire Sessions early on? By the time Sessions was fired, many prosecutors and investigators had already been reassigned to other duties and the investigation was wrapping up.

You would make more sense if you said that Trump fired Sessions because he needed an involved AG (not a recused one) to respond to the report itself. That you can't apply simple logic to this event is just one example of your problem.

They will get Barr's bowdlerized version rather than the full Mueller Report. Congress had to kick Nixon in the balls to get the full Watergate Report from Special Counsel Leon Jaworski, but Congress eventually got it after delays. "The House Judiciary Committee is poised to issue a subpoena for the report’s redacted portions. Barr has spent weeks redacting sensitive information from the report . . ."

Signym, this is why you are a fucking nitwit. Barr came on to bowdlerize the report and to make excuses/protect Trump. Sessions wouldn't protect Trump, and that's why Sessions didn't end the Witch Hunt. Sessions did not agree with Trump that he was being spied upon and did not open an investigation into spying. Barr completely agreed. Do you see the difference between Sessions and Barr in just that one trivial example?

Does anyone here realize that Sessions could not be forced to recuse himself? The American Bar Association or the Supreme Court couldn't force him to recuse himself. He could have consulted with Trump about recusal, but that would have been extremely unethical to let Trump, the guy being investigated, decide who will be in-charge of the investigation. On the other hand, Barr has a history of ethically murky decisions. Barr could have asked Trump what Barr should do about investigating Trump. As far as we know, Barr is letting Trump make the big decisions about Trump. Sessions won't tolerate that kind of nonsense from Trump and that's why he was fired.

So that Signym won't forget: Comey was publicly fired by Trump on May 9, 2017. On May 17, 2017, Mueller was publicly announced by Sessions/Rosenstein as a Special Counsel. Those two events were connected because the Special Counsel was authorized to continue the investigation by Comey confirmed in testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on March 20, 2017. Trump angrily declared he did not want Sessions to let this happen. Sessions told Trump it was happening and Trump could blame himself for it. He should not have fired Comey.

Completely legal? Merely unusual? Like Trump stealing money from the Pentagon budget and then Trump being told by Congress he doesn't have the authority? And then it goes to court? And in the meantime, Trump doesn't have money and can't build the wall of his dreams?

So you're claiming what Trump did is illegal before a determination? Isn't that like the lynching before the trial?

As juror, you would have a very hard time understanding what a grand jury does. How can they possibly indict somebody before a trial is held? Isn't everyone presumed innocent? Then, again, how can a prosecutor decide who to charge with a crime before a grand jury, especially when no trial has determined that any law breaking occurred? Today, Trump had the explanation:
" ....Since there was no Collusion, why was there an Investigation in the first place! Answer - Dirty Cops, Dems and Crooked Hillary!"
9:24 AM - 15 Apr 2019
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1117826076774789126

(The actual reason for the investigation? Comey was publicly fired by Trump on May 9, 2017 for investigating "the whole fake Russia thing" said Trump. On May 17, 2017, Mueller was publicly announced by Sessions/Rosenstein as a Special Counsel to continue the investigation Trump believed he had stopped permanently. Trump was really mad at Sessions/Rosenstein for restarting that investigation. Trump said he was, many-many times. Mad at Mueller, too! But he couldn't fire Mueller.)

In the past Trump has gone in the opposite direction by insisting innocent people be executed. The Central Park 5 for example needed the death penalty according to Trump. Instead, they received $7.1 million each, which really upset Trump. He once again called for their execution. That one of them received $12.2 million drove Trump completely bonkers. In October 2016, he declared that the Central Park Five were guilty and stated that their convictions should never have been vacated.

So, you agree with me that Sessions wasn't fired because he "would not stop Special Counsel Mueller", because Barr didn't come on to do what Sessions failed to do (stop Mueller); instead he came on to manage the consequences of Mueller's completed report.

Thanks for agreeing with me.

Sessions was fired by Trump on Nov 7th. November 6th was the election. Signym, you are a fucking idiot. Sessions was only kept on to not affect that election. Trump told Sessions to quit many times, starting the same day Rosenstein appointed Mueller, but Sessions would not quit.

If Trump wanted to "stop Mueller" he would have appointed an AG right away who would have "stopped Mueller".
