Does anyone else remember when Special Prosecutor Ken Starr issued his report in the form of a book

Last edited Fri Feb 22, 2019, 11:13 PM - Edit history (1)

with all the tawdry details of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky and who touched whom, and where? Now there could be a chance that we would get NO report. The Special Prosecutor's rules haven't changed that much since the last time we had a Special Prosecutor. Lyin Trump and the Repugs don't want us to see Mueller's Report, but they put Bill Clinton's report in a book format with all the smut they could conjure up in order to embarrass and humiliate the Clintons.

Since Mueller doesn't seem to get to make the final decision as to the report format, contents, and whether or not there is even a written report released, and the contents thereof; it wouldn't surprise me if the Repug's AG issues a report half full of damaging info on Hillary Clinton, her emails and the DNC's failure to secure their servers so that the Russians couldn't steal their info.

saved and hidden by anyone who worked on the report has to drop it off at the front door of The NY Times. Malocolm Nance is the person who said this to Bill Maher several months ago. Copies WILL get out!

The Independent Counsel law expired in 1999.

Mueller is a Special Counsel, part of the Justice Department and reports the AG.... and the AG report to the President.
