The "transcript" Trump tried to sell Pelosi is the WH version of Barr's Mueller Report "Summary"

Fortunately, Mama ain't stupid and while she may have been born on a Tuesday, she wasn't born last Tuesday.

1. Just wait. They'll release a report with all the juicy parts removed and then

the whistleblower will show up and testify that it's not his or her report. The situation will then become twice as bad. Trump and his merry gang of grifters aren't know for their smarts.

2. Unlike Mueller that just showed up and did nothing.

Let's hope the whistleblower isn't friends with Barr.

7. Or under Witness protection guaranteed

By the United States justice department...

4. Mueller

The childish glorification of Mueller was indeed a farce of monumental proportion …..

[Mr. Ected]

6. I will admit to having been heartbroken and disillusioned when Mueller proved to be a nothing burger

Not his report, mind you, but I had expected an American patriot shedding partisanship and shining a light on Trump crimes and bringing the punishment accordingly. Instead, he meekly slithered off, ne'er to be heard from again.

I had to leave DU for a couple months as I agonized over my misdirected trust in that man.

[StarfishSaver]

8. I don't think it was a nothing burger at all

It just wasn't what a lot of us expected it to be.

[Mr. Ected]

9. The report was anything BUT a nothing burger

But the man, Robert Mueller, was a nothing burger with stale fries on the side.

[StarfishSaver]

11. He wasn't a nothing burger either

He just wasn't the exciting witness that many people wanted. But his job wasn't to dazzle on television but to conduct an investigation, which he did very thoroughly and well.

[Mr. Ected]

13. There were many here who thought he might subvert Barr and Trump and go rogue

His "just the facts, ma'am" was too little, too late in this era of hyperbole and partisanship.

Sorry, Bob Mueller was a disappointment; if he had risen above the fray, his report wouldn't have been so easily and roundly dismissed in the media.

[StarfishSaver]

14. It's not HIS fault the media's fancies weren't tickled enough to cover the story

That's on them, not him.

[blm]

5. Dear media, put some Who on.

Don’t get fooled again.

[ananda]

10. Remember, Mueller is a Reep.

Nuff said.

[mcar]

12. Yep. There's no actual transcript

Just contemporaneous notes jotted down by someone in on the call.

The media, unfortunately, is falling for the gaslighting. They are all about "the transcript."
