So Barr could release the report in the morning, and have a press conference in the afternoon.

Giving the media a chance to read it and formulate questions.

Or, he could release the report in the morning simultaneously with the press conference, telling reporters, "Here's a 400 page, heavily redacted report for you. You have any questions? No? Okay we're good here, then. Enjoy your Easter weekend. Happy egg hunting."

So naturally it's the latter option that he chooses.

The cover up begins in earnest, the Barr investigations into the investigators.
Will Rosenstein take part in the cover up, will he be allowed to speak?
Tell me again why we need to hold back on impeachment? Barr is a traitor. Subpoena Mueller to testify.

"Tell me again why we need to hold back on impeachment?"

Because we'll make Republicans mad or make their supporters vote for them again or something...

I'm thinking the press conference first and then the report later in the day. Dump it off just as people's holiday weekend is beginning.

...The Devin Nunes of trumps department of justice, and just another lackey laughingstock of this administration ignoring the rule of law , and instead using it as a weapon against his opponents and against the truth for trump and putin. and can never be again trusted for anything , and history will show him as another traitor of this country. protecting criminals , and promoting more corruption.
