to do with Barrs statement today about releasing report by mid April? Seems like too big of a coincidence to me. Anyone else, or am I just being paranoid?

(44,992 posts)He just relieved a little pressure and kicked the (tampered) report down the road. Subpoena the report. Now. And make Barr testify WHAT hes doing about the actual Russian election tampering that he acknowledged. He swore an oath and apparently cannot live up to it.

(3,335 posts)any help reading. My concern, like others, is that Barr needs until Mid April to manipulate the original report with his editing of Bob Mueller's actual words; Barr's liberal use of redactions of so-called classified data; and Trump's Executive Privilege of anything that remains which might be damaging to him.

Congress has asked for the entire Mueller report, and underlying evidence, by April 2. That deadline stands.
In the meantime, Barr should seek court approval (just like in Watergate) to allow the release of grand jury material.
Redactions are unacceptable. #ReleaseTheReport
