Dumb Questions about Whittaker power over Mueller

He can make sure that Mueller's reporter is NOT made public????

If this is the case, do you we still find out if Mueller has released his report, just not
what's in the report?

There are many things to be concerned about, but it is extremely unlikely that Whitaker could completely spike the report. And now that we have the House, they could get materials and testimony.

IMHO, Whitaker is going to try things like preventing Mueller from issuing a subpoena of the president, etc. He may even try to stop indictments of Trump Jr. These are the things I think he'll try.

As far as any report, conservative pukes will develop a "counter story" to try to limit the damage. They will loudly broadcast that crap on Fox News, etc.
