All blow n no go for whatever reason that made no sense to me. Most..if not all these players in tfg’s era is beyond disappointing..democracy seemed to take a back seat. I am cautiously optimistic that there is enough evidence for some real consequences

...who would follow the facts wherever they led. We'll, he followed them to where he could see where they led... Then dusted his hands.

He didn't follow the Constitution, he followed orders. So military.

They wanna make news instead of report news ..even MSNBC is disappointing at times. All the big talking heads on tonight.. maybe CSPAN but I doubt it. I’m just wanting too much, I think.

Mueller laid out the evidence and then left the building leaving it open to everyones own interpretation. Barr said thank you. I'll take it from here. Even when Mueller called out Barr he did it in a lame way. He couldn't even say out loud, Barr is lying about my report. It was really sad.

From what I observed, he was Mr. Straight Arrow, so conscious of and conformed to the chain of command that he never made the slightest move to show any independence of thought or action that might cross his higher-ups. Even as they threw him under the bus, he was mute. When Billy Barr butchered Mueller's report, and withheld significant portions of it from the public, Mueller said and did nothing. Even now, with the Trump administration gone the way of the dodo, Mueller still remains silent, his work and reputation trashed, and his name a national joke.

It was pure legalese. It was like he was afraid to say the truth out loud.
