Are Trump and his treasonous allies - believing they'll be able to keep this thing under wraps from the world. That's a joke. Ain't gonna happen.

They've already put one of their versions out there. How will we know even if it's genuine?

We could get the Russians sanitized version. Or the Chinese - more incriminating version...

You KNOW they are going to be in a world of hurt if they do. Like Snowden leaking info..
Then it will be the game of playing "it's not true, yes it is, not it isn't" game.

Maybe his lawyers are keeping it close to the vest. They might even be keeping the incriminating stuff away from Trump because he’d tweet all about it.

But the fact there are no leaks might be because it’s bad for Trump.

It's not like Bob sat there all by himself composing this thing and he's got the only digital copy of it (waiting for Trump to disappear it). For all we know, some of our allies might even have it (or will be getting it).

Mueller and his team may have reason NOT to expose the truth right now if his work is still ongoing as we’ve heard.

I’m thinking this whole investigation is so high up in the political stratosphere that there’s some serious knowledge which is spread out among the highest power brokers of both parties. People with top secret clearance, like our Party leaders. I really don’t think they’re stumbling around in the dark. I do think they’re locked in a serious power struggle, which we can see happening, but it goes much deeper than we, the public knows. We must remember they all have access to the highest intelligence briefings.

I just think of the political intrigue and power issues that happen at our daily humdrum work on a daily basis and extrapolate that into what’s going on in Washington DC. It’s there.

publicly criticized the Barr summary.

Someone like Andrew Weissman, who is leaving government service anyway?

I find their silence somewhat concerning.

Somebody is already trying to hack the DOJ computers, I'm sure of it. The Russians will find it and post it online. Just to prove that they CAN.

But the PP study itself was more secret than the Mueller report. The leak depended entirely on the initiative of Ellsberg and Russo. The situation is different now - given the Russian interference in the election which was not present in the PP leak, the impetus to leak the report should be correspondingly greater.

I would bet the leak will take no more than a year.
