If Democrats believe that the Mueller Report indicts trump and Impeachment is the only way to get it

-the un-redacted report- there should be no fear of failure.

Why are Republicans hiding the Report?

What do they fear?

If the information in the Mueller Report is that damning, Democrats should be daring the senate to vote trump not guilty. IMHO

3. He will use our impeachment energy to feign persecution...

And get a bigger level of support from his conservative base...

Remember that oligarchs feel persecuted and that there political clout in many forms will grind along with our impeachment hearings.

4. He's already done that with the Mueller report. He will use our lack of impeachment as weakness.

Much like the Kennedy report ....

When Mueller releases his report unredacted...and testimony unredacted...

Then you can argue he has already done that

7. How does shining a spot light on the real conclusions of Mueller's report for all to see clearly
Sat May 4, 2019, 02:09 PM

and without ambiguity put "the Big Con in a better political position"?

That makes absolutely no rational sense. Let's stop acting like we have everything to be afraid of and, instead, follow FDR's admonishment "The only thing to be afraid of is fear itself" for a change.

Let's do what is right and trust in it as opposed to making political calculations like we did in 2016. Geezuz!

He and his foxy friends uses the power of the media in all its forms...to deconstruct, to obfuscate, to misdirect...

Your supposition/assumption that shining a light, without ambiguity, will somehow be all that’s needed to turn the electorate against him is just naive at this point...

Just look at what Barr did with his words of deception...

No, we have to be smarter than we have been these past 3 years...

This is not the Nixon era...

11. That makes even less sense. We might as well just give up

if that’s the case. That is basically what you just said. tRump is going to lie, manipulate and obfuscate regardless — whether we pursue this or not.

This isn’t shadow boxing, it’s a real fist fight. Get real or lose. That’s how I see it and what makes sense.

He wants you swinging, with your best right hook..

It just happened with 22 months of Mueller boxing...and where are we...?

We have to read the Mueller report and hear from Mueller directly...not this Barr obfuscation

14. Congress should definitely have the unredacted report
Sat May 4, 2019, 02:54 PM

However, as Jill Wine-Banks said on Stephanie Miller's show, the information in the redacted report is sufficient to launch several investigations that should lead to impeachment.

15. Appears the only way to get the unredacted is through impeachment..the courts will tie it up forever
