Anything to stop the truth from emerging. They're obviously scared of something to go to these lengths.

Exactly.

Voters should see Trump’s contemptuous conduct for what it is: evidence of guilt

 

President Trump’s stonewalling is far worse than Richard M. Nixon’s ever was — more extensive, more outrageous and more unjustified than anything Nixon tried to pull.

Executive privilege only applies to communications from and to the President.

 

It can’t be applied to anything else and it can’t be applied to communications that have already been published.

 

So nothing that is already published can be subject to executive privilege and only those parts of the report that are redacted AND include communications from/to the President can be subject to executive Privilege.

 

Barr trolled Trump and got Trump to issue a nonsense order to get Barr off the hook.

 

Except it won’t work.

 

Question 1.  Why is the AG giving the President advice wrt how he the President should respond to a Congressional inquiry?

 

That is not his job.

 

Barr just dug the hole he’s in deeper and dragged Trump in with him.

The Mueller report is over.  Barr is out of it, has moved on and assigned US Attorney John Durham the responsibility of getting to the bottom of the whole "Russia Collusion" mess.  Unlike the IG investigation that is wrapping up, Durham will be looking at possible criminal prosecution of those who tried to to overthrow Trump.

Doesn't a wish require repeating three times?

 

Since the Mueller Report is "over" and it fully exonerates everyone, maybe just release the whole thing?

 

I mean what's the problem? Nothing to hide, right?

"Possible"?

 

I'm sure AG Barr, assuming he's still the AG, will write a 4-page summary, and redact all sensitive information?

 

Amazing that the right now suffers from "Coup Coup Cachoo Collusion".

 

No one tried to "overthrow" trump. My back hurts just imaging someone hefting that tub o lard. The only way to remove a president is with the 25th Amendment or Conviction in the Senate. Neither of these things was ever a remote possibility, so un-bunch your panties and move on.
