IOk, this could be "reverse psychology" but it is worrisome

that Trump is now pushing for the Mueller report to be shown to everyone. They must know there is nothing too damaging in the report (Burr). So what! Let's take Trump down by voting him out of office and all his nasty minions.

1. Or he's saying that because he has protection from Graham.

2. part of the strategy....

get the senate to issue a no findings summary
have as much redacted from the report as he can
claim the say nothing report vindicates him

repeat repeat repeat..........

3. IMO he's putting on a great big act. He knows it's going to be devastating and he's terrified.

He is lying that he wants it to be shown and he will do everything in his power to prevent it being shown.

4. Will not work.

House has already said they would have Mueller testify publicly.

Something is happening. Rosenstein is staying longer.

5. Keep in mind that Trump is not remotely capable of subtlety.

I suspect he assumes that all of his claims of innocence and no collusion are now accepted by all, and that any report will vindicate him.

6. Just more acting. (He chose the wrong profession.) He loves lying face to face.

7. He's covering his ass by dumping it on Barr...

Now, if Barr "decides" that the report is "not suitable" for public release, it won't be Trump who blocked it, and Barr will take the heat instead of Trump. These guys are pretty transparent in that if you assume they're doing everything in their power to protect and enrich themselves, ethical or not, you're probably not far off from the truth of the matter.

8. Nahh... he's whistling past the graveyard.

He's acting more unhinged than ever-- full of hate and anger. He wouldn't do that if he thought the report had nothing in it.

I read last week that Mueller and Barr were in agreement about indicting Jared, but that Barr was maintaining Trump couldn't be indicted, while Mueller wanted to.

Rachel had someone last night (I forget who, I shouldn't drink while watching Rachel who suggested that the highly redacted Cohen docs out yesterday could be about Trump, and they speculated it could possibly mean (yay!) that there's a sealed indictment that has Trump's name on it, ready to be sprung when Trump is finally out of office.
