Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsBarr has advised Congress that conclusions of the report may be ready to see by this weekend?
While Donald Trump is in Mar-a lago.
Congress might be wise to take him up on his offer?
Trump will try to manipulate the release when he returns.
But, he had the devious foresight to take Lindsay Graham to Florida with him, so they could strategize on how best to handle the release of the report in the Senate. The House already voted 420-0 for full disclosure.

(2,484 posts)There can't be any magic tricks when the entire report is in Mueller's head.....and probably a thumb drive.

(13,041 posts)i've been rewatching former US attorney/FBI/DOJ guy Chuck Rosenberg on Rachel Maddow who said just because there aren't more Mueller indictments doesn't mean there won't be any more indictments, period.
People such as Corsi, Credico, Page, inaugural committe, & the Idiot's kids aren't out of the woods, but rather just the opposite. They can be charged & prosecuted elsewhere.
Mueller was asked specifically to look into Russian meddling, not, as Rosenberg put it, "to rummage through Trump's attic".
This is all good news to me.
Add: Rachel did mention on Barr's letter he did confirm that he would inform the intelligence committee members that he may deliver the report to them as early as this weekend. I'm waiting with baited breath.

(4,448 posts)Trump is perfectly able to communicate with Graham or Barr or anyone else he wants from anywhere on the planet.
It's a certainty that Trump already knows the contents. Highly likely that Key Republicans do. Likely that Key Democrats do. Also likely that lower ranking Republicans and Dems have heard it 3rd hand with some inaccuracies
Pretty much anything we see now is posturing for the public (both sides).
And yes Trump is manipulating the release. Not when he returns. He's been doing that since yesterday.
