1. I keep asking.......

and I've had posts "closed" - why has EVERYBODY dropped the Mueller Report?

ALL we know is what Komrad Barr will allow us to see - and it is his version at that.

We want the report, the WHOLE report, and NOTHING BUT THE REPORT!!!!!!!

Is it too much to ask ANY Congressman or Senator to demand it, be they Democrat or Republican (yeah, like there's a Repuke that would want it to be seen!)?

The report came out and nothing followed. A little now has been mentioned, but too little and a little late.

...actual federal prison thanks to Mueller?! Roger Stone is only the latest. Manafort, Covfefe Boy, Lev and Igor (on their way), and several others. Does this mean nothing to you?

But I still believe they left a lot of "raw meat" on the table that could have been used.
It appears that they have "accepted" the "I'm the parent and I'll decide" version as dictated by Komrad Barr - and what I saw when I mturned on my TV this week had nothing to do with that.

Mueller will soon be vindicated.
What I find stunning is that the Con was brazen enough to attempt bribery and extortion one day after Mueller spoke.

He thought he and Barr had it covered - big mistake. Ask Rober rabbit.

...tie it in knots, distract, obfuscate, and misdirect till kingdom come.

Bribery, on the other hand, is clear. I think that the moment the bribery case broke, Mme Speaker clenched her fist and said: "We've got him." Bribery: "quid pro quo," "this for that," literally meaning give me this and I'll give you that.

That is why the case has been narrowed down. A lot of people are going to federal prison thanks to jury trials. But to get the president it has to be clear and direct and understandable to the majority of constituents. -- constituents who answer opinion polls and chew on their representatives.

along further plans of attack after the weakness in the wording of the report's conclusions failed to move national opinion to action.

We're a democracy. What the people want matters.
