Well I'm shocked....
The AG has been showing Trump the Mueller report. He came across as decent man with his heart set on protecting Justice...

You think Trump only found out what was in it once Barr came along?
Trump and cronies already knew what the general findings were well before Barr came along. Acting AJ Whitaker had already fully briefed the President as soon as he got his hands on the info from Mullers team.
This is all just a smoke screen to try and make it appear legitimate, and they'll probably get away with it.
Barr was just appointed as the fall guy.
Somebody from the Muller Team needs to start leaking before this gets totally out of hand.

They are trying to set the narrative with a press conference before Congress get to see it. Perfectly timed for Easter holidays as most Representatives will be on holiday so they get a long weekend to spread their view before any real rebuttals can take place.You think Trump only found out what was in it once Barr came along?

While I don't disagree with what you've posted... in the end, Barr's maneuver means nothing.You think Trump only found out what was in it once Barr came along?

Pro-Trump/Anti-Trump voters are locked in. And the middle won't be swayed by this non-issue.
Bottom line - there's not enough evidence to conclude that Trump colluded with the Russians or that he was guilty of obstruction of justice.
Yes, the full report - free of redaction - might paint Trump in a less favorable light - but so what?

Faux News and other networks get Barr's findings on their tickets for the next 4 hours whilst Congress and jurno's go through the report.
I bet Maddow is on the vinegar stroke holding off until she's read it.

Forgot to mention the truckload of whitewash delivered to the AG's office.Redacted Mueller report out on Thursday. I've heard there's been a bulk delivery of black marker pens in Washington.
Fully expect it to be a non-event.

I've not seen Barr's press conference. I hope journalists asked him some tough questions but I doubt it.Forgot to mention the truckload of whitewash delivered to the AG's office.

Some highlights
Page 220: "At the same time, if we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would state so. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment."
Page 382: "Under OLC's analysis, Congress can permissibly criminalize certain obstructive conduct by the President, such as suborning perjury, intimidating witnesses, or fabricating evidence, because those prohibitions raise no separation-of-powers questions."
Page 370: "The President's efforts to influence the investigation were mostly unsuccessful, but that is largely because the persons who surrounded the President declined to carry out orders or accede to his requests."

Nothing will come of this report being public. Trump will just continue to lie and set his own narrative that his supporters will lap up. As the poster above said, pro and anti trump aren't going to change their minds regardless. Just hope that those opposed to him actually use their vote in 2020.
