These aren't second hand sources. It's people directly involved with the investigation and report.

Make it public.
In the very first paragraph .... second hand sources:

“Some of Robert S. Mueller III’s investigators have told associates”......... “according to government officials and others familiar with their simmering frustrations.”

Critical reading skills are critical

The same article says the mischaracterization has to do with obstruction. And yes, the report should and will be released - as soon as Mueller and Barr are finished redacting it.

Again: There is no basis for saying it cannot be released to authorized members of Congress un redacted. As time goes on and I watch discussion of it it's become apparent that is the case. Authorized members of Congress can see classified material. And there is little question that judges would authorize release of grand jury information if the Executive Branch asked for the authorization. If they refuse to release an un redacted report to authorized members of Congress they are trying to hide something. Very little doubt about that.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

John,

I know you are a bit cloudy because you are distraught

So let me spell it out for you:

Nancy Pelosi already rejected a classified briefing on the Mueller report. A classified briefing where the Gang of Eight would have full access to it.

If I could wreathe this^^^^ in fireworks and bacon wrapped scallops I would. But you would still manage to skip over it

All she has to do is say "OK", John

Ha, to all the Trump supporters telling everyone to "give up" or "you lost," from all the Americans who actually care about this country: Go f*ck yourselves.

A 4 page summary - released by an AG who previously covered up Iran-Contra and believes in the executive unitary theory - released two days after receiving a 400 page report which took two years isn't going to cut it. You can think the AG is Trump’s personal fixer, but I don't subscribe to that bullsh*t.

Please call the County and get a therapy dog.

wait

I did answer you directly... obstruction doesn’t need an underlying crime (but it sure does help)

BTW did you see the NYT? They are backing up WaPo on their “Mueller investigators are MIFFED!” narrative...

except if you read carefully, you’ll see that they are actually saying “Friends of Mueller investigators are saying their investigator friends are MIFFED!!”

The NYT also says it is solely about the obstruction question. So I was right before you had an opportunity to take that lifetime avatar bet I offered you

Just think... I could have to wear an avatar of your choice... for evah

So you remember an avatar bet but can’t directly answer my question related to what it was about? :suspicious:

JFC. And you’re accusing me of ambiguity? :suspicious: :suspicious:

God damn you’re defensive on this. Perhaps I don’t have your memory but I assure you there’s no gotcha here. No agenda. Just an honest question.

I have no dog in this fight and don’t really care. I just figured you to be a good source of information. :?
Well, maybe I didn't really answer your question. That's mainly because it was irrelevant.

But here goes:

Trump has a yuge ego. The mere fact of the investigation is an insult to him. He knows he did not conspire with Russians (and probably 98% sure nobody on his campaign did, either), and that, combined with his lack of self control and judgment, made it imperative to lash out at Comey and fire him. In short, he is impulsive - just like his worst critics say he is.

You are assuming rationality in Trump. If you don't, then his actions make a lot more sense.

Yes he was..

There are immature and childish people on both sides. The politicians aren't going to stop the divisive nature of politics.

That has to come from us. We can do it. We bucked the status quo with Trumps election.

Barr turning on the heat on the origins of the Trump spying/Trump Russia collusion narrative. This should be good.

I'm still going with my original prediction. Nobody of consequence is going to jail. Dems leave angry because Trump found not guilty and Reps don't get proof of a deep state.

But, watching the Dems turn themselves inside out with faux outrage will be a lot of fun.
