2. Fuck you Barr you hid Trump and company's work with Russia into getting him into the White House

Recent reports by the The New York Times and The Washington Post show that Attorney General William Barr may have "tainted" the findings of the special counsel's report in a way that is favorable for Donald Trump, former federal prosecutors told Newsweek on Thursday.

"The two reports raise incredibly serious questions about the legitimacy of the process of handling this report. That's my view. It's a game changer," Gene Rossi, a former Department of Justice prosecutor, said.

Members of Robert Mueller's team reportedly feel that Barr did not adequately represent the key findings of their two-year investigation into Russian election interference and possible collusion with Donald Trump's campaign. Several sources, speaking on the condition of anonymity, expressed their frustrations to news outlets on Wednesday.

Investigators are allegedly irritated that Barr ignored the summaries they prepared for public release, which would have let the work speak for itself. Instead, the attorney general gave Congress a four-page summary on March 24 in which he said that Mueller did not establish conspiracy between Russia and the Trump campaign.
