The Barr Letter took a public opinion hit today:
The total of 300-plus pages suggests that Mr. Mueller went well beyond the kind of bare-bones summary required by the Justice Department regulation governing his appointment and detailed his conclusions at length. And it raises questions about what Mr. Barr might have left out of the
four dense pages he sent Congress.
Expect the Barr Letter to continue to make headlines until election day 2020:
Mueller Report Exceeds 300 Pages, Raising Questions About Four-Page Summary
Dear god give it up. Barr is going to release more. He’s working with mueller and his team to decide what info is okay to release without breaching confidentiality. He released a summery, that’s a normal thing to do for a 300 plus page report. Especially a report with many different people in it where there are privacy concerns.
It isn’t odd to you that if Barr was lying, or grossly spinning, that mueller hasn’t come out and said something. Mueller certainly wasn’t afraid to correct buzzfeed when they reported that indictments were on the way a few months ago. Is it also not odd to you that Barr would spin and lie about this, even though there are plenty of other people reviewing the report, and it’s all gonna come out anyway. That seems like a very stupid plan.
Jesus, the Mueller team for the past few months has been airdropping pamphlets left and right letting you know “get out of collusion city, we’re about to Nuke it.” I get that y’all rested all your hopes and dreams on this trump Russia collusion, that just wasn’t a smart decision. It was all based on a dossier that had validity issues from the get-go. This should not have blindsided y’all like it has. Maybe it’s time to re-evaluate your media sources and recognize that it seems like they’re pretty biased and wanted this to be true as much as you did. Which is no way to be a journalist.
