"SNIP.....

ABC News “has learned that the White House has received a broad briefing on the report — described as non-specific in nature, focused mostly on the mechanics of the report itself — including that it will be divided into sections on obstruction and collusion and that certain portions will be redacted.”

“White House officials and sources close to the administration say advisers to the president are most concerned about the possibility of previously unknown examples of potential obstruction of justice and what information Mueller’s team learned from witness interviews, especially former White House Counsel Don McGahn who sat for well over 30 hours with Mueller’s investigators.”

“Sources say the president hasn’t privately expressed any concern over the contents of the report, and is not likely to read it in its entirety.”

If they were half as smart as they think they actually are, 2 things would follow from that:

1) they would shut the fuck up and stop making it worse for themselves

2) we'd be in real deep shit as a democratic nationstate

As it is, this cabal of keystone cops are gonna outsmart themselves right into a fucking prison cell in the long run. Even a gin-drunk Steve Bannon knew better than to get dragged into a special prosecutor fight...

The accused gets a briefing on the report that is obviously more in-depth than anything Congress has. Before Congress can get at it.

This is Fucked.

Barr should be impeached first.

Any mentally stable person,guilty or innocent, would be dying to read that report about them and their activities for obvious reasons. I believe most would study it with relish.

But he’ll probably come out saying ludicrous things meant to distract and confuse.

He's gonna ask Barr what's in it, and then when he's asked about it he's gonna say whatever he wants cause he doesn't know its contents from his own ass from a hole in the ground.
