....quite the contrary, really. Disappointed? Absolutely! However, even with the right's spin on things as we're witnessing at the moment, this can and should be considered as a fairly major setback, one that has clearly resulted in some consequences that the Dems will need to deal with. The right-wing propaganda machine will not stop here, either, for they will attempt to degrade us again and again if we continue to allow them to. If anything, this has bolstered my enthusiasm more than ever.

He probably typed it up when he wrote that sales pitch claiming Royal powers for Trump. lagomorph777 Mar 2019 #7

True. Several weeks ago it was reported that Barr had not spoken w/Mueller. Honeycombe8 Mar 2019 #16

"unable" can be used in many contexts here, many of them detrimental for Trump Maru Kitteh Mar 2019 #4

Maybe Kellyanne Conway's husband will leak it. n/t gldstwmn Mar 2019 #6

+1 We must stop thinking "Mueller said this or that" just because Barr spins it that way. lagomorph777 Mar 2019 #8

Precisely. We have precious few and incomplete quotes from Mueller himself. All else is spin. Maru Kitteh Mar 2019 #10
