24hrs till Mueller Report - and I couldn't care any less. What about you?
Just 1 quick month ago I was eagerly anticipating the Report. But with the Crooked AG doing his GOP tricks (again), and his turd-nugget of a Summary, the air went out of my hope-balloon. The redactions will likely be massive and I find I don't give a crap anymore. I still respect the amazing man that Mueller is, but that being said I also believe he dropped the ball. I really hope Barr has been found to have massively lied.
At this point I think the Report will be interesting, but it will end up being all those other investigations that will ultimately take down Donnie Two-Scoops. I'm not looking forward to the release cause I just dont care anymore. What are you feeling about the release ?

1. This position doesn't make sense.
I don't know how else to describe it. It will be very important, along with the fight over getting all of it, along with the other investigations that were kicked off.

17. I don't have any high expectations for another Barr version of the Mueller report.
Still, it's the next step and will likely trigger more actions from the Democrats. Hey, maybe Barr will surprise us and turn out to not be a GOP loyalist hire specifically to end and bury the Mueller investigation. Then again, maybe Trump will stop being an out-of-control narcissistic asshole too. I wouldn't commit to holding my breath until either of those events occur though.

7. THIS. Exactly: The release will trigger our next moves.
Bottom line, I care a lot. I just don't expect to learn what they're hiding from this release.
I think maybe I learned to be tough from the days of Monday Night Football. No matter how much I wished the stupid games would end, they just went on and on. To start back up all over again next week. But no matter now much overtime, eventually they did. |

27. Legal. Also political and media manipulation secondarily.
Though it's possible that, if too obstructive, it could trigger some more leaks from our intelligence services, former members of the Mueller investigation, etc.
But legal above all. Our democracy, our constitution, and our nearly 250-year-old system of laws and processes are the powerful fortress we're fighting from and why we will win. |

4. It will be something; but not the Holy Grail.
I think it will be good for the House to have the report. Let's see what they can do with it.

5. It will be all about nothing after Barr has bled it dry.
Barr is the Republican party fixer, has been for years, that is his legacy.

8. Here's what pisses me off. It seems everyone has accepted
the Russians interfered in the election. The report will verify that. We are, it seems, supposed to put up with the clown the Russians picked to be in the White House for four fucking years. Why? Because the Russian trade craft was so good there were enough cut-outs to prevent proving a conspiracy beyond a reasonable doubt? Christ on a pogo stick.

12. I don't want their bullshit redacted report.
I want the full unedited version. Nothing less will suffice. We need to know what these criminals are getting away with, and who helped them.

14. I'm not uninterested but I expect it to be so heavily redacted
that there will be nothing really new in it. The one thing that does pique my curiosity a bit is the fact that Trump and his stooges seem to be freaking out and are already preparing a "rebuttal." What do they expect or know that's got their shorts in a bunch?

19. One move in a chess game can seem wholly without consequence...
despite it setting up a significant counter-play only mere moves later.
Game 3, Spassky–Fischer 11.Qc2 was eye-rolling material and a let-down to everyone watching. That is, until Spassky ultimately resigned the game because of it. Dismiss a game due to only one move, and you'll rarely, if ever, learn the patience to witness the endgame. |

26. It won't be the definitive end many might hope for, but it will be a first in the series of battles
we must have to bring him down -- even if the end result is we bring him down in the election himself.
I think Mueller could see the writing on the wall about Sessions, and began to seed his work in the districts of other US attorneys, including some who were already with him. So when Barr came on board and, predictably, ordered him to shut down, Mueller was ready. Now we learn in the new Manafort filings that there are "many" other investigations still going on in "various" jurisdictions that makes the prosecution argue for not opening their case on him. And we know about the case that's been in front of the Supreme Court, about the Miller subpoena, and the Stone case. The Mueller report will show part of an important battle. But it's not the end, not by a long shot. |

29. What if Mueller is not worthy of your trust. He has an amazing record of service,
yet he is a Republican. Like Comey. Comey thinks he's a Boy Scout, so earnest and forth-right, yet his immediate reaction was to vilify Hillary and harm her, despite firm precedents to not interfere in elections, especially with evidence that was unproven. Republicans are stunted by Republican dogma. They are authoritarians and guard the cult leader at all costs.
Mueller was at the DOJ when Bill Barr covered up the evidence. A lot was covered-up about 9/11 and Mueller was head of the FBI. Don't expect crocodiles to act like giraffes. |
