(4,341 posts)No, the full report must be disclosed, Muller must be subpoenaed, and other people too. I think Barr was placed in that position for exactly the reasons and conclusions we now see, a very calculated and I must say intelligent move by repubs. Having fired Muller would have been detrimental, but appointing a puppet AG was the right move, which was always the goal but the first one, for all his corruption did the right things and recused himself, the second one had to much baggage he didn't want to have exposed, but not Barr, so Barr was able to slowly but surely close the investigation, I don't think Muller was finished, I think Barr pushed him to finish it.
I cannot be convinced otherwise because from the moment Barr became AG the teams that Muller had assembled started to disband, and although he had extended the sentencing dates of some of his collaborators who had already pleaded guilty, suddenly the Muller report was produced, an abrupt ending in my view.
Now Barr has "exonerated" the orange buffoon, even so the letter doesn't say so. Just watch how the orange buffoon milks this one, and how the repubs continue with the destruction of the country, the economy, democracy...
Democrats, I hope, will fight very hard for the truth, otherwise expect the worst to come.
I will give you and example...Pence, Pompeo, and the orange buffoon have been out with their usual bravado about bringing Maduro down, all talk but zero action...ask yourself why? Because Putin told them not to mess around with Venezuela, now Putin sent troops to Venezuela...Get real, Putin is the president of the USA, I have seen this before in Venezuela where Castro was the commanding officer from an office afar, but he was the one giving the orders, Chavez and now Maduro were the executioners, the same is happening here. Some of you may want to accept that the Muller report did not find anything and Barr is on the level, but I think that is a mistake, Barr is a puppet of the buffoon, nothing else.
