And don't ever forget this about the Mueller report.

We have only Barr's word for it that the original is about 400 pages.

If it was really 700 pages, as Judge Napolitano once said, how would we know?

Barr could have simply lopped off whole sections, a third of it or more, before they even started the color-coded redactions.

Appearing on Fox Business Network’s Cavuto Coast to Coast Wednesday, Napolitano attempted to explain exactly where Schiff was coming from by getting inside his “head.”

“We saw on Sunday a four-page summary of a 700-page report,” the Fox analyst said. “The 700-page report is a summary of two million pages of documents, of raw evidence.”

He continued: “In the 700-page summary of the two million pages of raw evidence, there is undoubtedly some evidence of a conspiracy and some evidence of obstruction of justice, just not enough evidence—I’m thinking the way I believe Congressman Schiff is thinking—according to Attorney General Barr, not enough evidence to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, which is the standard.”

and realized what the actual total must have been.

But Mueller would know.

I sure hope some Democrat asks him when he comes for a hearing.

are sleeping at the wheel especially not here at DU. We believe in the facts, and of course the election was compromised by Russia.

One thing I know about lawyers and if these guys are as good as they are, their even better legal assistants, they have a full, unedited proper version tucked away safely somewhere.
It's there.
