In reply to the discussion: If there was no damning information in the Mueller report Barr would have released it by now [View all]BumRushDaShow
(129,440 posts)12. I heard a news report about an hour ago here
(I think a CBS report since it was from the local radio affiliate here) that Barr was NOT going to release anything today. They have a tweet saying basically the same thing -

Robert Mueller submits Russia report: Key findings on Mueller report will not be released Saturday
By Emily Tillett, Grace Segers
Updated on: March 23, 2019 / 4:40 PM / CBS News
Special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation has concluded, and he has now submitted his long-awaited report to Attorney General William Barr. A senior Justice Department official told CBS News that Mueller is not recommending any further indictments. The Justice Department also confirmed that the "principal conclusions" of the report will eventually be made public.
Barr, who was at the Justice Department reviewing the report, will now summarize it for lawmakers. How much will be made public is left to Barr's discretion.
In a letter to top lawmakers on the judiciary committees, Barr said he anticipated that he might be able to advise them of Mueller's principal conclusions "as soon as this weekend." A senior Justice Department official said that Barr will not be sending his conclusions to Congress on Saturday.
Special counsel spokesperson Peter Carr said in a statement that Mueller will be concluding his service in the coming days.

I truly wouldn't have expected them to do so anyway because if anything, they need time to go through it and create their talking points.

Right. I was thinking, that after they refuse for a few weeks, we can say, "What are they hiding?"

Quite plausible. Mueller is a grown up and knows the grown ups have to accept whatever he tells.

That kinda makes sense, in this bizarre world we live in now such a thing is possible.
