1. And the Democrats will do what with this?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

2. Bingo ! maybe subpoena him?

[Va Lefty]

3. Maybe they will read the charges on the House floor

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. HAHAHAHAHAHA

[dem4decades]

4. So what. Mueller knew this and did nothing.

[Baitball Blogger]

10. Mueller has some explaining to do

[dem4decades]

14. Yeah like why did he fail his country?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. So, let's say he knows a lot and could recommend action. Why doesn't he just

pick up the phone. Is that against the law?? Maybe he's waiting to quit? He hasn't yet has he?

[dem4decades]

21. Why didn't he just say THE PRESIDENT OBSTRUCTED JUSTICE?

Wouldn't that have solved the damn problem?

But no, Bob Mueller had to let the Republicans and the Russians win. Fuck him.

[Mr.Bill]

22. Maybe he did and it's been redacted? n/t

[pazzyanne]

38. Thank you.

[malaise]

51. I'm betting that is exactly what happened

ITTMF!

[Mr.Bill]

53. Rachel Maddow is talking right now about Flynn.

She says a Federal judge has demanded to see all redacted material related to Flynn by the end of the month.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

23. I hear ya. Things sure would have been different, huh. Don't you think

Barr probably ordered him to not reach a conclusion though? My thought is that he was told to STOP. And, Mueller, chain of command type, stopped.

If Barr and Trump "allow" Mueller to testify, I bet he will not have any bombshells, for sure. Think Junior will be there full steam ahead, propping up his dad and saying "enough is enough". Of course I almost agree with that - get off the pot and impeach based on Mueller obstruction findings.

Why do you think he didn't reach a conclusion - with recommended charges? Just because he's a repuke at heart?

Just had a flash - Mueller may be physically tied up in a warehouse somewhere.

[pnwmom]

46. I suspect he's still working on the counter-intelligence piece of his work

which could well be more than half of his job -- and counter-intelligence findings usually must remain secret.

Somewhere, a long time ago, I read an analysis that said we might only ever see the tip of the iceberg of what they found, because of the secrecy of counter-intelligence work. But the House and Senate intelligence committees should be able to see everything. That's what's so unusual now -- to have the Trump administration withholding counter-intelligence findings from the Gang of Eight and the Intelligence Committees.

[DURHAM D]

61. At this point it is not at all certain that

Mueller actually is/was involved in a counter-intelligence investigation. Rachel said such tonight and Adam Schiff doesn't know if there is/was one.

My guess is that Rod Rosenstein deep-sixed it.

[LiberalArkie]

29. Point 1 he is in law enforcement. -- Normally attracts conservatives

Point 2 he is a Republican -- normally conservative

Point 3 he is a prosecutor -- normally conservative

[DemocracyMouse]

31. What precisely does "conservative" mean in each of those 3 cases?

The word is now meaningless and has been sunce the Republicans stopped conserving anything – nature, the Constitution, decency and decorum and family-friendly policies...

[Laura PourMeADrink]

32. Biggest, I guess mistake of my life, thinking he was going to be the truth.

[dem4decades]

65. Count me in that group too.

[pnwmom]

47. Point 4 -- Nothing about Trump is conservative.

Trying to destroy the system from within isn't conservative.

[samnsara]

30. he didnt fail he did his job which was limited...

..i think we all put a lot of our own unrealistic hopes into what Mueller as gonna produce. He did 100% what he was supposed to do and then he handed it off to the next phase..which we are in now.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

34. funny, not ha-ha, how many times we and journalists everywhere said "oh, no worries,

Mueller's probably thinking about that, working on that..." Came across an old article and there was SO much in there (probably on the list of collusion and obstruction stuff Mueller looking at). JHC he hired the BEST group of prosecutors in the business. Must be why they are hinting - it's all a bunch of bullshit.

[pazzyanne]

39. Thank you.

[ismnotwasm]

43. Yup

[Catherine Vincent]

26. Yep

[CaptainTruth]

27. How do you know he did nothing?

How do you know it wasn't part of the 12 unknown cases he referred for prosecution?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

35. Thanks. I needed something to hope for about now.

[pazzyanne]

40. Thank you.

[pnwmom]

28. No, he laid out all the instances of obstruction, mentioning impeachment 20 times,

and said it was Congress's job. Which it is.

[pazzyanne]

42. Thank you.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

44. cool. thought we were on opposite ends.

[UniteFightBack]

5. Looks like we should hear from Mr. Flynn. Mueller will also freely talk about this. Good this is

setting up quite nicely.

[Raven123]

6. Maybe now we get a clue as to why the judge wouldn't sentence Flynn in Dec

According to news reports, the judge was quite angry.

[Leghorn21]

8. Didn't he also mention the word "treason"? - one of these judges did, I can't keep up

but this is pure DY-NO-MITE right here!!!

[Raven123]

12. I think you are correct. He must been aghast at what he read.

[Leghorn21]

15. Got it - Judge Emmet Sullivan, last December:

....However, Judge Sullivan told Flynn: "This is a very serious offence.

"A high-ranking senior official of the government making false statements to the FBI while on the physical premises of the White House."

At one point, Judge Sullivan asked the prosecutor whether the special counsel's office had ever considered charging Flynn with treason.

The judge told Flynn: "Arguably, you sold your country out."

Judge Sullivan also said he "can't hide my disgust, my disdain" for the offence....

[BigmanPigman]

41. Rachel Maddow is opening her show with this.

[gldstwmn]

48. The same Judge that issued today's ruling.

My question is why did the Mueller team decide to declassify this now? They're DOJ right? Surely Barr knew this was coming? That's the missing piece of the puzzle. Flynn is definitely the biggest fish in this whole witness pond and yet I feel like I've heard precious little from him.

[Leghorn21]

57. g, I have no answers to your questions, but I so wholeheartedly agree that Flynn is the biggest,

tastiest fish in this whole scummy pond!!!

When I saw today that some kind of Flynn documents had been unsealed, I said, meh, this guy, we never hear SHIT about him, nothing, zip, ever

But then a couple hours went by and I'm like OH HOLY HELL!!

and I haven't stopped smiling since!!

[gldstwmn]

58. Well apparently I somehow missed

that this tasty tidbit came from the "less redacted" Mueller Report. The Dems won't read it on principle but five Republicans have including Senator Burr from NC. The same one who called Jr. to testify. Check this out:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Rep. David Cicilline says a report that there are less redacted versions of memos about Michael Flynn's cooperation with Robert Mueller is "very explosive," adding that the memos are "relevant to the question of obstruction of justice." <a href="https://t.co/RC1xA5yChu">https://t.co/RC1xA5yChu</a> <a href="https://t.co/l7T5Rw9xUX">pic.twitter.com/l7T5Rw9xUX</a></p>— The Situation Room (@CNNSitRoom) <a href="

[Leghorn21]

7. Great GREAT NEWS, t! Rump LOVED this guy!! Wait till this hits big, what a no good lousy

VERY BAD NIGHT this will be for LOSER45

Oh HELL yeah!!!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. What? He hardly knew him :)

[Freethinker65]

9. Paging Devin Nunes...

[gldstwmn]

49. The smart money's on that one.

[Kid Berwyn]

11. Thank you, Gen. Flynn.

Obstruction of justice is a major crime.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. except for MF45

[gldstwmn]

50. Compared to the other shit he did? Flynn's no hero.

He got caught.

[Boomerproud]

62. Mr "Lock Her Up".

This sounds like a big breakthrough and I can't wait to see where this is going

[gldstwmn]

64. I can't wait to hear more about Flynn's case. I hope we actually

get to hear it.

[Glimmer of Hope]

13. Possible farmed off case?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. You mean just the OOJ part?

[gldstwmn]

54. Who the hell knows? This one came out of left field

for me at least.

[Kurt V.]

24. i'd say Mueller unsealed this bc he too is fed up with house inaction.

[gldstwmn]

52. Wouldn't he have to run it by Barr first?

That's the part I don't get. If he arbitrarily released this then good on him.

[Leghorn21]

25. Oh noes, your main man FLIPPED on ya, LOSER. What have you got to say for yourself??!

YEAH YOU SURE ARE

[gldstwmn]

55. Still my favorite...

Too bad he didn't leave that on Flynn's voicemail.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

33. NO COLLUSION! NO COLLUSION!

Says Donny Dotard

[MattP]

36. God bless 🙏 Judge Flood

[watoos]

37. Wasn't it Trump's lawyer

And someone from Congress who were witness tampering with Flynn?
Subpoena the lawyer Democrats. There is no client privilege.

[malaise]

45. Yep this one is huge

Rachel is discussing it and will continue after the break

[gldstwmn]

56. Trump's

personal lawyer. Who would that have been at the time? Cohen?

[watoos]

59. Dowd I think?

[Glimmer of Hope]

60. This is who Lawrence O'Donnell is betting on.

The same guy who thinks Trump is “fucking liar".

[gldstwmn]

63. Hahaha... Maybe we'll get a Gif of that.

Seriously though, I didn't even know Barr had made a less redacted version of the report available. I took last weekend off from this topic because I needed a break. But good on the Dems for not falling for that just the tip bullshit. Sorry, Barr brings out the vulgar in me.
