The Mueller report will be only lightly redacted and show why the ambiguity of President Donald Trump’s intent and actions pushed Special Counsel Robert Mueller to punt the decision on whether or not he obstructed justice.
According to the Washington Post, the report will give a frame-by-frame description of the President’s actions that came under scrutiny, which still may prove damaging.
Though the light redactions may blunt some of Democrats’ suspicion that Attorney General William Barr’s Department of Justice is withholding information, many lawmakers will still likely bristle at even minor blackouts.
Barr will hold a news conference to spin the report at 9:30 A.M. ET before its release. Mueller will not attend.
This is not the Mueller report. It’s the AG’s whitewash. Why don’t Chuck and Nancy call a presser at 0900 and get ahead of Barr?
The WaPo article makes almost no mention of the collusion issue. It follows WH spin suggesting that obstruction is the only issue that matters. The media is being played once again.
Translation: We all know what he said and did but Mueller really thinks he’s too stupid to know what he was doing or saying so, maybe he really didn’t mean any of it. I’m starting to think that, no matter what the report says, no matter what’s revealed today, it won’t change anything. His supporters won’t budge.
Goes without saying…almost.
The media doesn’t get played. The media plays along.
