I think the house Democrats are going to end up doing their own investigation.

My guess is that Mueller will find no direct link between the Russians and Trump because there didn't have to be. They have been cultivating him since the mid 80s. Barr will shoot down anything related to obstruction because of his theory on executive power. The report will not cover deeds of misconduct only illegalities. The Dems in the house will have to call in Mueller for testimony and begin from there.

directly tying drumpf et al to Russian conspiracy and collusion in the 2016 Presidential elections. William Barr will not want to be the obstruction master in history on this one.

That seems like the direction the are moving. I guess we can take each case to court and win based on the constitution but it can be a slow process. Dems have to be willing to play fierce and hard.
