I don't understand why smart people would complain 'no indictment,' considering DoJ policy and Mueller's inclination to follow the rules and policy closely. That was a given for me.

Barr’s imminent summary of “principal conclusions” may be very abridged and expurgated. Should not be considered the “damaging” document that my source says the Mueller report is. Might have to wait for a subpoena from Schiff to see the real thing.

Everyone and their cousin claims to have "good sources." In reality it's almost certain none of them do.

No one is getting charged, so unless Dems grow a spine and impeach, it won't matter if the report proves that Trump is the love child of Hitler and Pol Pot.
