tRump, with the help of Barr, prematurely ended the Mueller investigation

tRump did what Nixon only dreamt about doing. tRump is getting away with his crimes and has setup a barrier between himself and justice. I do not see how justice will be done under this scenario.

Basically, the people are rapidly turning against him and as the facts come out, his betrayal, corruption and misuse of office is out there for all to see.

It is one thing to see his stupid-mean base say, "Oh, so what" when confronted with facts about what a dirtbag he is, but quite another when suburban voters are turning away in droves because they are seeing what a dirtbag he is, and changing their minds about voting Republican.

Will we save our republic? I don't know. But I sure hope so, and I'll be doing everything I can, for what that's worth, to help the cause.

Barr was brought in to shut down Muller's investigation and bury the report.

It has to be damming because if it was exculpatory "they" would have it.
