Attorney general Barr pretty much tells America to go fuck itself as far as mueller report.

This is a coverup to end all coverups. This grotesque fool thinks he is going to gaslight America on this report. He is going to try to allege that he is the ONLY person suited to see the whole thing. He will be judge, jury and executioner in the most important investigation in our history.

It’s time to redact the Republican Party and it’s foul fools and foolish tools.

why the completed SC report has to be handed over to a political appointee of the President even when the President is a subject of that investigation. Who thought that would be a good idea?

It's not surprising that the executive branch would have an executive branch report prepared under rules promulgated by the executive branch should be reported to the executive branch. Even if two of those "executive branch" references are to the DOJ--which makes sense, actually, since the testimony and all the information in the report and gathered for the report was available to lower-ranked DOJ employees.

Pretty much everything else would require rewriting all kinds of executive and judicial branch rules.

On edit: That's not the complete truth. A summary of the principle findings get delivered to some members of Congress. But again, there are classes of information that Congress is not typically privy to. Like the grand jury testimony and other kinds of evidence. And in this case, the summary contained a commitment to go beyond the mere rule.

I realize that in radical tribal politics it could be tricky no matter who gets the report, but I still think the one person it should not go to is an appointee of the subject of the investigation. Maybe to a bipartisan committee or something.

I thought I heard that EVERYTHING related to the Kenneth Starr report was delivered to Congress almost immediately upon completion.
