In both cases the Reich Wing raced out of the gate and got their messages out ahead of the facts. Gore became Sorelosermann and any response to the Barr letter is seen by the MSM as somehow impugning Mueller. And therefore, hypocritical Dems, shame on the Democrats. At least according to the M$M.
I think Dems understand that the longer the Mueller report is hidden the further the Barr letter laps the field.

Ilhan Omar didn't say anything about dual loyalty, or anything antisemitic.
BUT we'll lie and pretend she has, and then proceed from that false position
Nothing implicating Hillary Clinton happened at Benghazi
BUT we'll lie and pretend _something_ shameful happened there, and that she was responsible
etc.
and the media just lie back and let it happen, with no consequences for the liars.

(17 posts)Here's the theory. Let's see how it plays out.
Mercury, the planet of communication, is retrograde, and has been for the last couple of weeks. And it is conjunct (same degree in mid-Pisces) as the Planet Neptune (illusion, disillusion, lies, mish mosh).
What's that mean? For folks who watch the stars as an Above reflection of what occurs Below, it appears more than likely that the whole stinking GOP Trump-Barr ball of bullshit will have a short run. The tide will turn. Change direction.
It's likely as we get well into April, and Mercury is direct and separating from Neptune, and we weary denizens of earth actually get ahold of the SC report, and more facts likely to come forward, the truth will emerge.
That's the general theory. Will it apply in this case? We shall see.
