OK here goes! Now we know (i think) that BARR has Muellers report! Now my problem is this. Mueller knows EXACTLY what's in this report. He has to see what BARR is doing right? He also has to see what tRUMPs plans are. IF he feels BARR is OBSTRUCTING this report, why has he NOT come forward at least to the leaders of CONGRESS? (maybe we wouldn't know if he did) I really believed Mueller is an PATRIOT! There is so much i don't understand here. TY in advance.

at the very least, if not criminal conspiracy.

(12,344 posts)the Russia investigation is still being conducted by another office. This would be consistent with reports that DOJ is still pursuing the Russian bank subpoena.

(17,220 posts)But FUCK IF he sees what tRUMP and BARR are doing, i figure if he's a patriot ( I thought he is) he would contact the HOUSE? Something just doesn't make sense to me!

(90,382 posts)... right now and Barr's a liar for not recussing himself from the Mueller probe.

He knows he will get his chance to weigh in.
When he is called to testify in Congress, how many screen with video on them in the US will not have his face plastered on them? Probably, not too many. A very efficient way to settle a bunch of questions.

(12,344 posts)The regulations require him to write a confidential report and the AG has discretion over what to release. So that's what Muller did. That's the extent of his patriotism and always was.
But, he did spin off large portions of the investigation to other DOJ offices. We don't know what he actually spun off, but it could be much more than we've been told about.
They don't have to tell us what was spun off.

(56,830 posts)I doubt Mueller would disagree with his "boss" in public, which is why Mueller must be called to testify, both in public and behind closed doors.

(4,120 posts)you think he's a patriot?

(17,220 posts)I have trouble holding my faith in him that's for sure!

(17,220 posts)SO much only one house can do! (and there is sooo much to do, THAT is one of the problems) The House could spend years on this shit. When we get the senate we'll have them by the ass!! Like i said before, gonna be a long two years til 2020!

alwaysinasnit
(5,090 posts)before Whitaker, then Barr came on board, Rosenstein appeared to do everything in his power to buy time and shield the Mueller investigation. So it seems odd that he is supporting Barr and his attempts to whitewash the investigation. I am not sure what to make of this.

(8,231 posts)to this obvious obstruction business this he made sure got squashed and now HE IS COMPLETELY off the hook - no questions about obstruction for rump and by proxy him.

Mueller probably wouldn't accept illegal acts but he might give barr the benefit of the doubt
He'd never hear the end of it if he was responsible for putting his wife's friend's husband in jail.

(111,111 posts)Barr is his superior.
rockfordfile
(8,715 posts)Just this century alone is a enough. For some reason a few people think he's a stand up guy. I think that after this that will change. Knowing Trump's collusion with Russia and others. Heck the GOP to the NRA was/is deep in it with them.
bluestarone
(17,220 posts)Then why would Mueller work withe the state of NY? For this reason i do have some faith in him.
