I hate that fucker almost as much as Trump. He is BY FAR the most dangerous Trump appointee other than SCOTUS.

"We appreciate that the attorney general made the report largely public, and I certainly do not question the attorney general’s good faith in that decision."

Basically giving Barr credit for not completely hiding the report from the public. Not exactly a resounding endorsement. But of course it'll be quote-mined completely out of context to the nth degree by republicans to appear as if Mueller approves of everything Barr's done.

Hell, you could easily read that statement with an underlying impression of sarcasm. It's kinda like giving cops credit for not beating up suspects.

but it's a nuanced lie, not the black and white ,hit you upside the head type you need to stun the 63 million droolers that voted for Trump. We have to make it clearer-know your target audience.

Almost like he bent over backwards to make everything a bit ambiguous and fuzzy.

I did not find the report either ‘ambiguous’ or ‘fuzzy’.

YMMV, I suppose, but the report is very clear, Mueller believes he has done this job; it’s time for Congress to do its part.
