No, it is a perfect summary. It is not a representation.
The whole thing is going to be released, Barr said that already.
There are legal concern - he CANNOT just release it as is.

The congress and the people will get to see it - it has been two years in the makin, now two weeks is too long?

Here is an even better summary

No collusion

Time to move on.
Problem for the dems is, the y have NOTHING to move on to!
The Green New Deal, stupid candidates, 3 old white guys leading the polls.....the dems are DESPERATE! All the bravado and.....NO COLLUSION.

The WH will not get any preview until it is released to Congress. I can only assume the pencil-necked geek crowd of Schiffs still won't find that acceptable.
Barr stated that Mueller's investigation "did not establish" that Trump's campaign conspired with the Russians before the election. But Barr also said that Mueller "did not reach a conclusion" on whether Trump obstructed justice...and that raises certain questions...IMO. Did Mueller not have enough TIME to odder a more complete assessment of this case? Is "obstruction of justice" an offence that's UNWORTHY of a "special prosecutor's" attention? If Mueller won't comment on the obstruction of justice matter...then, who will?

He said 'once they are done with his IRS audit'. It sounds like he has been under audit in some business or other for the last 10 years.

Laying aside the legal dynamics if a President can be charged with obstruction for exercising Constitutional powers or if there was an existing investigation to obstruct.

Maybe because Mueller realized he had a conflict of interest. see http://www.paceadvantage.com/forum/s...d.php?t=138934

The obstruction concept is based on Comey's firing. Mueller cannot be involved in deciding if the firing of his friend is illegal.

Mueller also had another conflict his boss, Asst. A.G. Rosenstein, wrote the memo calling for the firing of Comey. Is Mueller going to charge his boss with obstruction of justice?

Another interesting question is why Mueller did not use the standard guidelines of the DoJ to determine obstruction? Why did Mueller disregard DoJ guidelines? This important question needs to be answered.

I would give you points for this fine response, but I'm afraid that would make your total go down...instead of up.

It was a joint release by Barr and Rosenstein.

Are you trying to tell me that Rosenstein is a bought and paid for Trumper now?

No...

Ripping on LEOs doing their job is a Trumpist thing now. Suddenly Rosenstein is "A Okay" in their book now...

Jokes.

The amount of Reynolds Wrap the Maddow 6 rolls through in a given month has to be close to the weight of a Volkswagen.

Thanks for the laugh. It's worth more than the points to me.

We do have pretty strong evidence for collusion with the Russians. An aspiring presidential candidate DID seek electoral help from Moscow.

Wrong election, however.

Where's a Special Counsel when you REALLY need one?
