1. Barr must go!

[NewJeffCT]

3. Yes

maybe DOJ thought the 24/7 media coverage of coronavirus would allow them to slip under the radar?

[malaise]

2. Get thee to the greatest page

RFN!

[Zoonart]

11. Effff yeah.

Good News.

[DonaldsRump]

4. This should be fun, fun, fun

Judge Reggie slammed DoJ and Barr, and it will be interesting what he says after receiving the full report.

[spanone]

5. K&R

[SheltieLover]

6. Kick

👍

8. That's about a day late and a dollar short

[Glimmer of Hope]

9. I want to see!!

[unblock]

10. talk about burying it in a news dump.

[NewJeffCT]

15. I bet the only reason they even released it

was that they figured it would get overshadowed by 24/7 coronavirus and associated Trump meltdowns

[calimary]

55. Yep. I think that's a VERY safe bet.

EVERYTHING anybody in this mal-administration does - has an ulterior motive attached. NOTHING is what they say it is. I would say that should be the default position from which all of America takes in anything this SOILED White House says, does, offers, or claims.

ALWAYS get a second opinion on these devious manipulative schmucks.

[soldierant]

67. It did occur to me that it was just this month

that Barr dropped all charges in all the cases Mueller had initiated while working on the report and his investigation.

That means one thing he can no longer stonewall on is information related to any "ongoog invrstigation."

But that does not contradict your theory, not a bit. At most it makes it even ore pre-meditated.

[live love laugh]

77. 💯

[Dennis Donovan]

12. Hell yeah!!!

[bluestarone]

14. Was a wondering!!!

YEA!!!! BUT is it the FULL UNREDACTED MUELLER REPORT??

[lastlib]

29. Doesn't sound like just two pages; where are you getting that?

[PSPS]

32. No, that's not what the filing says at all.

[MartyTheGreek]

16. So the Wheels of Justice are still turning even under National and Global Pandemic?

Are these the White Hats making a strong play against the real dark state?

Is this a good sign? How much can be shared, if any, with the public? What's the backstory? Ok, RTFM, I know! Good news though!

[dchill]

50. Dark state. That's the ticket!

[MartyTheGreek]

52. I'm being sarcastic.

Red Don AKA Agent Orange, Moscow Mitch and the KGOP!

[dchill]

60. I know. Exactly.

[dewsgirl]

17. Never thought I would live to see this.

[PSPS]

33. No, the filing doesn't say that at all. The headline is accurate.

[bluestarone]

21. Maybe Judge will be very fucking PISSED?

I hope so!! What a bunch of bullshit!

[PSPS]

34. No. Read the filing. The two pages were in addition to the full unredacted Mueller Report.

[PSPS]

62. Reaad the filing! It's right there! Jeesh!

[Mike Niendorff]

70. Incorrect.

There were two orders referenced here -- one for the full unredacted Mueller report, and one for two specific pages.

This document production is to comply with BOTH orders.

And yes, the wording gets confusing for non-legal readers, but please read it again before repeating this incorrect "only two pages" claim.

[LAS14]

22. Wo!!! There is other stuff happening in the world. nt

[ancianita]

23. Sounds like someone needs some CYA in the DOJ. Can't wait to see where else the unredacted goes.

Eventually.

[Lock him up.]

38. I suspect Mueller made a copy of his full report.

I HOPE Mueller made a copy of his full report (and the GJ materials) and hid it in a safe place, so the Dem administration in late January 2021 will have access to it, if there's any trace of real JUSTICE left.

[ancianita]

40. Sure, we always hope there's an unredacted copy, but no one in the FBI would leak it, since

the DOJ would fire them.

I'd love for some major journalist to get their hands on it, though, through some plain brown envelope delivery.

[Lock him up.]

45. IF he made a copy and hid it in a (secret) safe, a Dem administration (new AG) could...

... have access to it from late January 2021, but it's a big IF. There's a way to restore real Justice and it's long overdue. No more looking forward by giving the criminals & their co-conspirators another pass.

[ancianita]

48. Wouldn't need to. Mueller would walk right up and hand it to the new president, with cameras

lighting up all around.

It would light up the news cycle for a week.

[la-trucker]

24. Will Judge Walton make it public?

Or at least give it to the congressional committees?

[Loge23]

25. This doesn't matter anymore - he was stone cold guilty before this.

There's nothing to see here, Barr will make sure of that.
Our ire needs to remain on Barr and the Senate GOP for being the co-conspirators in this crime wave.
Let's face it, even if there was incontrovertible evidence of the crimes would it really matter to the accomplices or their supporters?

We're screwed as we all knew it back in 2016. That situation just gets worse every day.
We all know that they will use the COVID-19 crisis as cover for this anyway.

[certainot]

75. there are a lot of leads not followed. glossary of mueller report redacts 'hannity'

and why?

he's mentioned incidentally in the report in terms of media interviews of targets and his name should be listed in the glossary but the name between graf and hawker is redacted. most of the few redactions in the glossary relate to long time talk radio operators - roger stone and jerome corsi

why was 'hannity' redacted? was it a signal from redactors that a lot of had to do with talk radio?

putin has been using limbaugh/hannity since at least 2008

if reporters and dem investigators stopped ignoring the most important political weapon the last 30 years and ask sam nunberg, for instance, why trump paid him to listen to 1000s of hours of talk radio in 2014 and how it might relate to russian trolling ops, a reporter could get a real story

[BarbD]

26. Two pages? My copy of the Mueller report has more black lines than that.

[PSPS]

36. It's not "two pages." Ready the filing. It's the full Mueller report plus two other pages.

[ancianita]

42. Ah, thanks. I'm relieved.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

27. Big News! Good News! . . . nt

[Gothmog]

28. Yeah

30. TITLE SHOULD READ: DOJ turns over 2 PAGES of unredacted Mueller Report to Judge Walton

[PSPS]

31. I don't see where it says that.

It says "two records" were turned over.

1. "The Unredacted version of the Mueller Report"
2. "Unredacted copies of the final two pages of its October 10, 2019 production" (this is a different item entirely)

It goes on, "Counsel hand-delivered two paper copies and one electronic copy of the two records at issue to chanbers."

[spanone]

37. here...

[PSPS]

44. Yes, that's showing what I quoted. There are two "records" involved ordered 3/5 and 3/16

"Record" is not a "page."

[NewJeffCT]

46. Yes - that is two records

Record 1 is the unredacted copy of the Mueller Report

Record 2 is the unredacted copy of the final two pages of its 10/10/19 Production to the court. The actual Mueller Report was released in April of 2019.

[Duppers]

47. Yep.

Going to be another nothingburger.

[NewJeffCT]

53. Two Records means

Record 1 is the unredacted Mueller Report
Record 2 is the unredacted final two pages of what was presented to the Court on 10/10/19 (the Mueller Report was released in April of 2019)

[Mike Niendorff]

72. Thank you for helping clarify here.

Looks like this false "only two pages" claim made it into this thread in about a half dozen places.

Correcting this misinformation is important.

Thank you for taking the time to help keep this thread accurate.

[defacto7]

35. He'd only do that if he thought it didn't matter anymore.

[Lock him up.]

39. I don't think traitor barr has a choice.

It's either obey the Court Order or get charged of Criminal Court Contempt (that could extend to next year... or any Pardon involves Admission of Guilt).

[defacto7]

76. Good point if it holds.

In the real world that makes sense. I'm just not convinced we live in the real world where law and guilt really matter anymore. The world I see looming is one where all that matters is what you can manipulate to circumvent rule of law. I hope you're right though.

[William769]

41. Kick & recommended.

[progressoid]

43. Like this is going to make any difference now.

[ancianita]

49. It will. It's a well investigated context for the SDNY's waiting indictments on Trump.

[iluvtennis]

51. Please release it to the public - Stay at Home reading material. nt

[empedocles]

54. The 'Process' grinds on.

This may work as new evidence and evidence v. Barr, - for openers.

[global1]

56. Somebody Needs To Update Me - Why Did Judge Walton Request This And What Is He Going To Do.....

with it?

I haven't kept up with this and am in the dark as to the significance of this event.

[BumRushDaShow]

59. Here is a good summary

[crickets]

68. Thanks, BumRushDaShow! nt

[stopdiggin]

57. What do you think the likelyhood is

that the judge here will rule against the "classification" of redacted material? Serious question.
There is, of course, no chance at all that he would release an unredacted report to the public.

[NewJeffCT]

63. He has not been a big fan of Team Trump

since the beginning - I think he's the one that asked why Mike Flynn wasn't being charged with treason.

I think he will overrule DOJ and said it can be released to Leopold/Buzzfeed and EPIC - DOJ will appeal to get the whole court to review and that could delay it further.

[stopdiggin]

71. same page, almost 100% (nt)

[Thomas Hurt]

58. The is no fn reason why this report of a special prosecutor should be kept from Congress

other than a cover up. The christofascists were in the middle of their counter "investigations" see if this causes another round of bee ess to spew from McConnell, and Nunes.

Mueller caved when Barr came in and ran like a beat dog.

[NewJeffCT]

64. It's required by law

to be turned over to Congress by a provision in the Patriot Act and another law as well. Per Neal Katyal, who wrote the special counsel laws

[coeur_de_lion]

65. They must be ready to shitcan trump

otherwise they would never turn it over.

[marble falls]

66. This is big news!!!!

[crickets]

69. K&R for visibility.

[dlk]

73. Here we go...

[Eliot Rosewater]

74. What I am certain of is if there is a way to NOT turn it over in it's entirety, as in nobody

would know or tell, that Mueller wouldn't go public, etc HE will do it.

Mueller wouldn't KNOW if they turned the whole thing over or not, anyway.

Barr is a criminal, he wont do anything properly unless forced and an order from a judge means nothing to him and these types.
