the czarina or trump's treasurer having been called to testify.

It's no doubt in my mind he shut it down, especially now after we've seen what an ass kissing trumpster liar and trump protector Barr has shown himself to be.

If Mueller was shut down while he was on the verge of something significant, Mueller should have bluntly said so.

His letter only said he objected to Barr’s summary without the summaries in his report. Now that has been done, so is Mueller still ticked, or just ready to enjoy retirement?

Mueller has a week or two to repent. I’m skeptical.

He was winding down well before Barr. And after I read in the report where he says how "unfair" to Trump it would be if he said Trump had committed a crime, it became clear to me Mueller was a paper tiger...and a Republican.

I really REALLY hope I'm wrong and Mueller comes to Congress to sing like a canary against Trump & Barr.

and cheney arrested. I just knew Fitzgerald was going to get them. In the end, nothing.

But maybe Mueller will appear before Congress and say, "If I had known my report would be met with 'No collusion or obstruction,' I would have just written 'TREASON CONFIRMED.'"

All they had to do was cut his budget to zero or shut down lines of inquiry they didn't like.

Mueller will be gone soon right when Barr was sworn in. I believe he tweeted it as well. https://www.msnbc.com/the-beat-with-ari/watch/ari-melber-presses-trump-ally-on-ominous-mueller-claim-1445088835629

I can't stand this dude. I'd like to schlapp his face.

Barr made his 4 page summary. It happened suddenly and coincidentally within a week of his confirmation, iirc.

I've never witness so many coincidences as the maggot and his campaign has had knowing Russians, meeting Russians, firing and hiring those people and people who lied about those associations and meetings, and people willing to work for and agree with everything the maggot says and thinks.

Mueller's report suddenly ending abruptly after Barr's confirmation is just another coincidence, I'm sure.

He appears to be a thoughtful, insightful man who READS and THINKS. He came onto my radar today. Never heard from him before today. One more talented senator, who understand the Republican party and does not mince words. I love his take on the Freedom Caucus and Mitch McConnell. Looking forward to learning more about him in the coming days.

The night before she irresponsibly teased a story is coming. Tonight. Nothing.

And she NEVER mentions that the AG can't do that without it being reported to Congress.

The A.G. is "supposed" to report it to Congress but a lot of things in this administration are not being done the way they're "supposed" to.
