The multiple ways Trump is guilty of a "cover-up"...

First of all, he, along with AG, Wm Barr, decided to keep much of the Mueller report from the public and from the Congress.

Then, they both lied about it and told the public it was something that it was not. It did not say there was "no collusion" and it definitely did not say there was "no obstruction". By withholding the full report, they have covered up the complete facts of the investigation.

Also, they have pressured present and former WH staff to not testify before the Congress, even if they are subpoenaed.

It is hard to see how we can call it anything other than a "cover-up"?

"witch hunt" he refers to. See, it's all a deep state plot.

Not testifying publicly. Can Chuck Rosenstein and his ilk stop commending Mueller and his "integrity"? I'm not impressed.

Barr or Mueller can't disclose that per the SC law.
The Vast majority of the Report is available....even more of it is available to qualified Members and Staff in a SCIF.
National Security material has to stay hidden/classified

What do you mean "full report".....
