We are not getting the Mueller Report in a few weeks ...

New York Times: Mueller’s Investigation Erases a Line Drawn After Watergate
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/26/us/politics/mueller-investigation-watergate.html

Beyond those bottom-line conclusions, Mr. Mueller’s full report has yet to be released, and it remained unclear if it ever would be. House Democrats have demanded that it be sent to them by next Tuesday, but the Justice Department outlined a longer schedule, saying that it will have its own summary ready to send to lawmakers within weeks, though not months.


"the Justice Department ... saying that it will have it's own summary ready to send to lawmakers within weeks"

Attorney General William Barr said his version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report will be released to Congress in “weeks not months,” according to a report Tuesday.


"His version" refers to Barr not Mueller

CBS News:

On Tuesday, the Justice Department confirmed that it will take weeks for Attorney General William Barr to release more information from the report.


"more information" is not Mueller's report.

https://www.dailyrepublic.com/all-dr-news/wires/state-nation-world/barr-plans-to-take-weeks-not-months-to-release-next-mueller-report/
Attorney General William Barr is planning to release his report on Robert Mueller’s probe into President Donald Trump in a matter of weeks, not months, according to a Justice Department official.


"his report" refers to Barr not Mueller.

Barr is going to expand on his four page letter and probably write his own summary of Mueller's report. It's not a redacted copy of Mueller's report. It's effectively Barr's summarized impression of it. Zero assurance of any evidence.

Barr continues to try to deceive, mislead, avoid and drag this out.

The only way we'll see Mueller's report is to win the White House in 2020 or through court.
They're not going to provide Mueller's report willingly.

... don't know how, don't know when. But we will see it, eventually.
In the meantime we have to vote Chump out of office and take the Senate in 2020.
Hope and resolve!

There is going to be a big fight over executive privilege, classified info, department policy of not discussing those not charged and grand jury testimony.

Barr is in "run out the clock mode"

Mueller should go on Nicolle Wallace and Rachel Maddow, that should give Trump the big one.

Congress. Also, professionals have said today that it shouldn't even take weeks, it should take a few days at the most.

If it goes to the fucking moron before Congress it may as well be trashed right now. Where are the leakers?
