25. "just at the time when the Mueller investigation was wrapping up."
Mon Mar 25, 2019, 07:14 PM
Mar 2019

This part I don't agree with, but I do with the rest.

Why do I say that? Because...why would have Muller requested that both Flynn and Gates sentencing be rescheduled, extended? The reason was because both witnesses still had a lot to contribute with the investigation. From the time Barr was confirmed Muller's teams have been reducing personnel slowly, sort of in a way that people would not be alarmed...then suddenly, right after the sentencing extensions, Muller's investigation is out, his report handed to Barr, and now Barr wants to hold it hostage because I have to think his four page letter does not portray the findings by Muller and his team accurately.

This is so discouraging, I want to keep my optimism up, but this is too much to swallow. I ask myself all the time, Democrats know republicans cheat, they deceive, they do things behind the scene to break the laws, they get away with it because the Democrats are not watching proactively their moves, and thus...bad things happen, they seem to find what was done from the news. When will Democrats learn to play the game to avoid these things from happening, could something have been done during the Barr confirmation hearings to avoid having this monster take hold of the AG??? I don't know, but right now I don't feel well about the whole thing, I keep hearing that its not done, that the buffoon WILL get indicted eventually, and his family, but as things have been developing, my confidence is down.

Sorry, I don't want to be pessimistic, I have never been, but I have to admit things are not going well, the crooks are getting away with murder and I don't see anything positive to get them where they belong, in jail, happening.
