Donny will be upset, but he won't fire Barr, at least not right away - Donny received too much good publicity from the media after the Barr Memo for him to fire him that fast.

He was hired for one specific reason, and even pre-interviewed for the job by writing a 17 page memo saying dumpf COULD NOT be indicted for obstruction - basically presidents are ok to break any law as long as they are russian repugs. He was specifically hired to destroy the Mueller report and ensure the underlying crimes remained hidden or at least not specifically outted as crimes.

I think the repugs will go to SCOTUS to stop Mueller from testifying in closed session, that will happen before admin. responds to subpoena and of course they will refuse and Dems can then go to SCOTUS. That's where this was destined to go from the beginning and why drumpf hired Kavanaugh and lied his ass off about the non-investigation of attempted rape. The only questions is will Roberts protect the party and Russia for political advantage (almost certainly a yes ) and destroy our constitutional form of government so that now repugs are free to commit any crime they want and SCOTUS will protect them. We will be effectively a dictatorship if they rule the drumpf way. Expect him to really push it then, have his own Reichstagg fire, set aside the constitution due to the fake national emergency, and make himself ruler for life.

Barr will never ever willingly give up an unredacted report. I suspect we won't see it until after a democrat is elected president in 2020 - maybe not even then.

That is why the big money donors brought him in. Do you really thing the likes of Tom Barrick,The Walton's,the Koch Brothers and others at Mar A lago would allow their Tax Break to go down the tubes.

Once the books are open,Trump and his Crime Syndicate all go to Prison.


Barr was able to run the clock on Iran Contra as well as write all the Pardons.
