1. wow... alot of DUers seem to still be giving cred to Rosenstein. I'd have thought that was gone...

maybe... who knows, but???

[PJMcK]

2. 5 is a lot? (n/t)

[hlthe2b]

3. when they are the ONLY ones initially voting, yeah. Seems they feel strongly about it.

[PJMcK]

6. Fair enough

It just seems like a small sample from a biased community. Anyway, I see the count is up!

Have a good night, hithe2b.

[hlthe2b]

7. You too...

[malaise]

16. Word is that Barr leaked it because he knew it was going to be exposed

tomorrow

[hlthe2b]

17. or he is claiming (via intentional misdirection) that he leaked it...

to try to reclaim the narrative and spin... Seems more likely to me especially after the story BLEW up and his own impeachment is freely being discussed.

[malaise]

18. When the source of this is Mudd, I'm inclined to

agree with you - muddy up the works.

[DontBooVote]

4. DUers also trashed Mueller and turning out to be just another repuke. That seems to have been...

...premature. Perhaps the conclusion about Rod is also premature.

[Leghorn21]

5. I knowww, I just can't quit him, b - I'm still holding out hope that he's a goodun...the thought

of actually, totally losing him as a defender of Justice and the American Way is just too much to bear, so I’m in denial, and it feels like a really bad breakup, wwannhh

But yeah, we don’t KNOW just yet, so I must cling to my bit of hope

12. Credit?

I’d say if Rosenstein did it , it’s to increase Mueller’s credibility as a “good guy”

There’s more than one scenario possible here than some “good guy” leaked it.

Heck, good cop bad cop is quite common to get suspects talking.

[hlthe2b]

13. Giving Rosenstein credit for doing the right thing and still maintaining some professionalism.

despite a lot of recent sycophantic actions towards Trump and statements to the contrary.

[Nuggets]

14. Why?

As Maya Angelou says,? When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

[hlthe2b]

15. Why ask me? I merely commented that the many DUers suggesting Rosenstein leaked document

was surprising since I would have thought that (benefit of the doubt towards Rosenstein) was gone.

In saying that, I clearly am surprised and not in agreement.

[Nuggets]

20. Oh lol! I thought you were saying why

you did.

I voted for Rosenstein for the reason I gave above.

Fits right in with the “straight arrow” bit we heard over and over regarding the FBI .

[hlthe2b]

21. All I know is when all is said and done and we get more of the full facts...

I'd sure like to know what Rosenstein is really all about. He perplexes the heck out of me and I've known many who tried to play both sides of the fence.

[mobeau69]

8. I vote Barr but Rosenstein could have done it at the direction of Barr.

[NewDayOranges]

9. Mueller leaked it! Barr & Trump were counting on Mueller

to keep quiet, maybe Trump cronies or even the Russians threatened Mueller's family members, IDK.

But for whatever reason, Barr and Moby Don, the Elusive Orange Whale, thought Mueller would keep quiet until called to testify before Congress, where Mueller would answer a lot of questions and make statements that can't be backed up because he gave all the evidence acquired by the team to Barr along with his report...

[CaptainTruth]

10. Rosenstein.

[lindysalsagal]

23. Fits the timing of his resignation. They might be planning

For a future of hearings, and choosing to be out of trump's grasp before details are revealed. Sounds like a good plan. Because everything trump touches dies.

[BootinUp]

11. I think Meuller orchestrated it.

A team member wouldn’t release it without his permission.

[H2O Man]

19. "Someone else."

But that "someone" learned of it through a member of the Mueller Team.

[pnwest]

22. I vote a DOJ staffer. Mueller doesn't stike me

as the type to leak a letter. If he wanted to say something publicly, he'd have done so. Barr gains nothing from its release that i can see. My vote (simply because i'm hoping eventually the full, unredacted report will also be leaked) is a staffer who is working to get the info out.
