Will the full Meuller report ever be leaked?

[DavidDvorkin]

Or at least given to members of Congress? Or will Barr's summary be all we get?

1. Yes, yes, and no

3. Leaked.

4. Barr will have a hard time withholding the report from Congress. I bet it is released soon.

And I bet Barr's summary is close to findings in report. He'd be a bigger friggin buffoon/criminal than trump to lie in his summary.

Personally, I'm disappointed in Mueller, unless Mueller's report conflicts with Barr's summary and Mueller found that trump, or at least campaign officials, worked with Russia and trump subsequently tried to obstruct justice. We all saw that.

Mueller could have said: "trump campaign officials met with Russian officials to talk about how they might help. I leave that to Congress to determine if it is an Impeachable offense. Similarly, it is clear trump attempted to obstruct justice by firing investigators, threatening to fire others, bashing officials who rightly recused themselves, bullying witnesses, mentioning pardons, etc. I [Mueller] leave that to Congress to determine if it warrants Impeachment." But, it doesn't appear Mueller did that.

6. He may not have actually lied, but isn't the very precise language used at least a little curious?

He did NOT say "No collusion". He said "No collusion with the Russian GOVERNMENT".

While Putin's billionaire thugs help him and his oligarchy rule Russia, they are not the Russian "government".

I want to read the ENTIRE report. If it isn't produced in the near future, we should raise the kind of hell that will make the Sixties look like Romper Room.

8. I'd hold off raising hell about report, they'll just cram it up our rears and have another victory.

Although clearly not the same, Obama played that game by holding his birth certificate until the GOPers were howling. Then he gave it too them, where it hurts.

Barr won't get away with withholding the report. We put too much faith in Mueller. Fortunately, the election is next on the agenda and that's where we can remove trump without all this stuff.

5. Malcolm Nance said it would be leaked a month ago.

I agree with him...he knows his shit.

7. Dem congress people who now head the investigative committees

have already said, and repeated it again today, that they anticipated a trick like this, and have several plans to get the real report out to the public.

I am not sure why anyone is surprised by a trick from Barr/republican's.
