exactly how bad IS the report if that stooge barr has to say, "does not exonerate trump"??

he was installed to protect that traitorous bastard, and yet, even he has to point out that the tangerine tyrant is not exonerated.

WE HAVE TO SEE THE FULL REPORT!!!!!!!!

That was my first takeaway. That report is BAD for Trump, the only thing that explains his silence. Maru Kitteh Mar 2019 #2

It took them a weekend to manage the cherry-picking and concoct the proper spin.The reason why it only took a weekend?

a) The truth was neither important, nor an objective.
b) They needed to get control of the narrative FIRST.

How does that saying go? A lie can run around the globe a dozen times while the truth is still putting on it's shoes?

I am betting that some at the WH have no clue -- like Dotard and Rudy -- and are just (as usual) firing with an unarmed mouth before loading their minds with facts -- like the latter is even possible.

that we’ll likely get a redacted version if the report is released before the outstanding cases are resolved. They don’t want to prejudice open cases.

I still expect what we can see of the report to be damning, but we will likely get the rest piecemeal and spread out over months or years, with redacted portions unredacted on a case-by-case basis.

foreign affairs, national security, conflicts of interest, and all areas of domestic policy. But at least he doesn't use email. However, did Mueller get his private Twitter messages?
