There is no doubt that Mueller's 400-paged report will be presented to Congress by Barr as the equivalent of a 9th grader's book report on To Kill a Mocking Bird....The redacted parts will way outnumber the shared statements.......AFTER ALL, that is EXACTLY why Trump hired Barr.....
Further, the request for Trump's tax returns will ALSO be contentious because Trump has surrounded himself with stooges in key positions to stall, delay and obfuscate the carrying out of what are legal precedents.
HOWEVER, there is a way for congress to obtain the FULL Mueller report and Trump's tax returns......and that is..............Impeachment proceedings (once those begin, the House is fully entitled to all of the documents it would request based on what happened during the Nixon era.)
The GAMBIT for democrats boils down to whether impeachment hearings will make the Trumpster into a "martyr" or not, gaining some independent voters as the impeachment hearings did for Bill Clinton........
Nonetheless, the real test and gamble for congressional Democrats boils down to TWO issues:
First, if impeachment is a prelude to close SCRUTINY of Trump's corrupt past, would Trump resign so not to risk such exposure........or
Second, is Trump so sure of his "innocence" (and arrogance) that he would subject himself and even WELCOME such impeachment hearings disclosing his past?
Either way, we well know that Trump's cult members (that 35 or so percentile of voters) will bitch and moan BUT stick by him unconditionally because...after all.... that IS the requisite when one joins a cult.
Interesting times ahead for all of us.
