Turns out that Mueller left a key to open the lock to both getting the full report and impeachment.

That key is deciding that he wouldn't (not couldn't) charge the president with obstruction and included the "this does not exonerate the president" in the report. Barr decided to make that decision for him thus violating standard practice and overstepping his authority.

Want the report? Wait for Barr misstep on the Mueller Report, assuming he hasn't already, and impeach Barr requiring the report as evidence of his misdeed.

1. Is Mueller's quote actually in the report?

"This does not exonerate the president".

3. The snip was in the Barr letter.

So you can bet some version of it was in muellers doc. Can’t imagine any way Barr adds that as his commentary without being forced into it.

2. Fairly likely, imo,

and no surprise.

4. You assume that Barr will stay in that position.

I figure once it dies down a bit he'll hit the door. Fixers don't usually stick around.

8. Remembering Barr'a kids getting fed jobs, even a White House Counsel gig

11. Yep.

Stands to reason he’ll scoot out the door as soon as he can, now he’s got his kids entrenched.

5. We need the direct quote and we need to repeat it over and over again.

6. Barr's ALREADY made a huge misstep!

See, if he weren't trying to keep his newly appointed job and wasn't bending over backwards to kiss Trump's big fat ass, what he should have done was a.) release a more in-line version of his summary similar if not near-identical to Mueller's summary b.) released the entire report and even maybe c.) gave us, much later, Mueller's own executive summary.

He's really stuck his neck out here as even he can be charged later, asked to step down by Congress, reap the whirlwind of negative public opinion and more. Imagine his name going down in history like the defamed henchmen of Tricky Dick Nixon. I really don't think he'd want his name to be forever besmirched for going down, so to speak, on Trump's tiny pecker!

7. Don't forget his involvement in Iran-Contra

This is sorta what he does. He's the demagouge's demagogue. The last laugh isn't up to him though, only Congress has that task.

9. I remember when AG John Mitchell went to prison. History repeats itself.

So many parallels with Nixon...stealing TWO elections (we're not done yet), an enemies list, paranoid & delusional, surrounded by criminals...the list goes on and on.

10. Need senate to impeach.

Can’t impeach Barr

[JCMach1]

12. I really don't think you want to make Mueller a hero in this

Just yet. All signs.point to the opposite.
