So, the WH has had the opportunity to respond quickly when a redacted report is released this week. whow. just whow.
And the Committee has not been briefed. damn.


The White House has been briefed on the Mueller report and "there is significant concern on the president's team about what will be in this report," and "what worries them most is what Don McGahn told the special counsel," @jonkarl reports on @ThisWeekABC https://abcn.ws/2VyOgpQ

1. The fix is in

Barr is corrupt.

[Funtatlaguy]

4. So what's Mueller gonna do about it?

[Paladin]

14. Damn good question.

Mueller's silence becomes more deafening by the day.

[Funtatlaguy]

16. He and his team must find their patriotism.

[certainot]

23. we need to start serious protesting and boycotting of the rw media that got us here and

continues to support and make excuses for trump, that attacks dem reps and investigators, and intimidates republican politicians that we need to turn on him

[Joe941]

36. I've been boycotting rw media for years already.

I'm sure most here are as well.

[certainot]

37. ignoring it is not what i meant- that is the problem - their advertisers need to be boycotted

[oldsoftie]

17. Mueller is no fool. He's letting OTHERS look the fool. He'll speak up if theres a need.

I.E., if the report is said to be "released", but doesnt show any of the good/bad stuff.

[cstanleytech]

2. I thought Barr was supposed to legally be the only one to see the report? Please tell me he broke

the law and can be charged and disbarred!!!

[SHRED]

5. That's what I thought also

[Golden Raisin]

6. Broke the Law?!? Trump and complicit Republicans

don't need no stinkin' laws. (I was going to include the "sarcasm" smilie but we're really down to open law-breaking without swift or any consequences these days.)

[pangaia]

8. Who will charge him? Who will arrest him?

Who will tie the bell around the cat's neck?

[former9thward]

13. No.

Barr can delegate legal staff to determine what should be redacted. Once Mueller has delivered the report to Barr it is up to Barr to determine what to do with it. So there is no law broken. If someone says a law was broken they should be able to say which one it was.

[cstanleytech]

19. To bad. nt

[Mc Mike]

3. They're worried how the public will take it when they hear McGahn was weeping and blubbering.

He grovelled, threw himself at Mueller's feet, clutched Mueller's knees like a medieval supplicant.

Bad optics.

[Cracklin Charlie]

7. I remember seeing a quote from President pukeface...

On learning that he had no attorney/client privilege on conversations with White House counsel...

“Oh, shit”

I don’t know if it’s true or not.

[Mc Mike]

10. Whoops. The bestest manager and most stable of geniuses

strikes again.

I have a vague memory of another quote from him: "They hate me, they really f en hate me."

Also one where Sater said he and tRump would die in prison.

[mercuryblues]

25. I don't know either

However an attorney conspiring to commit a crime with a client voids the privilege.

[Cracklin Charlie]

26. He didn't know that McGahn was the White House's attorney,

And not his own.

I think that’s how it went.

[mercuryblues]

29. Yup

and then most likely agent orange asked him to do something illegal, which McGahn was obligated to report.

[malaise]

9. ITTMF

NOW!!

[slater71]

11. Why is the WH worried about what is in the report if they already been briefed?

[wishstar]

12. Because Mueller didn't clear him of obstruction and McGahn's testimony reveals obstruction intent

Even Barr's whitewashing summary admitted that Trump had not been cleared by Mueller of obstruction. McGahn undoubtedly testified that on several occasions Trump ordered Mueller to be fired and investigation to be shut down, but was refused and talked down by McGahn and other WH lawyers who knew that would be considered obstruction. WH is concerned because when Congress finds out more about details of McGahn's testimony, Congress could have grounds for impeachment on the attempted obstruction.

[uponit7771]

38. +1," grounds for impeachment on the attempted obstruction." and accessory after the fact

[Shrike47]

15. McGahn is about to hear Trump hardly knew him, never talked to him and that he's a scumbag liar.

Working for Trump is always a treat.

[oldsoftie]

18. I dont think he ever even met him!

[eggplant]

21. McGahn did bring him a few cups of covfefe that one time.

[blm]

20. I'd be wary of this narrative. Looks like they are setting up media to give MCGahn's

testimony greater scrutiny in a classic misdirection attempt. I don’t trust ANY narrative that originates from this WH.

[justie18]

24. Yes!

Especially since Karl did not accurately state Barr's very lawyerly statement about collusion - Barr stated that Mueller was not able to establish coordination between the Trump campaign and the Russian government and in a footnote (#1) stated coordination requires finding an agreement between campaign and Russian government). Check out the actual letter!

[uponit7771]

40. +1, I bet "Russian government" is what Barr put in his summary vs Mueller's findings knowing ...

... Putin wouldn't act so overtly as to sign a contract.

Barr is a hack, a very very very dangerous hack.

I'm not giving the "they spied on Trump and I can't prove it" slow talker Barr the benefit of the doubt.

[justie18]

41. Exactly!

He knew that would never be the case in any espionage situation! He started his career in the CIA so he was well aware of everything he has been doing to help spin this for Trump.

[uponit7771]

42. WOW Didn't know Barr started in the CIA, then he should double know better ... what a hack

[uponit7771]

39. +1

[kentuck]

22. It's an act.

Just like he pretended not to know that Barr was going to exonerate him, in my opinion.

[C_U_L8R]

27. Mr McGahn.

Would you kindly testify before the judiciary committee.

[Turbineguy]

28. They are worried about how to protect

their criminal boss.

I bet people who worked for Al Capone had the same sort of problems.

[Wounded Bear]

30. It's already been said, but...

For a report that "totally exonerates Trump" they are spending a lot of time and energy trying to bury it and "debunk" it before it is even released.

Not to be too much of a cynic, but that sounds awfully suspicious to me.

[Blue_true]

32. You make an excellent point.

Why wouldn't they give the full report to any press agency that wants it if it completely or even partially exonerated Trump?

[Wounded Bear]

33. If it really did exonerate Trump...

he'd be tweeting it out line by line.

[Blue_true]

34. I agree. nt

[Blue_true]

31. I doubt that the Trump goons being able to react first matters.

Barr has given that report a life of it's own. This is going to be boiling even hotter next year, they can't cover it up.

[Yavin4]

35. McGahn: "Trump is terrible and awful, buuuuuuttttt I'll stay long enough to get Kavanaugh on SCOTUS

But after that, I will leave in a huff."
