Tweet from Maddow--she is

[riversedge]

going to have a great show tonight no doubt.





Per @RepJerryNadler , Barr tomorrow is planning to:

-- hold his own press conference about Mueller,

-- without Mueller there,

-- well before anyone will be allowed access to even Barr's redacted version of Mueller's findings.

Why?

Where's Mueller?

Rachel Maddow MSNBC added,

I’m deeply troubled by reports that the WH is being briefed on the Mueller report AHEAD of its release. Now, DOJ is informing us we will not receive the report until around 11/12 tomorrow afternoon — AFTER Barr’s press conference. This is wrong. #ReleaseTheReport

1. K&R! n/t

2. EXACTLY. The gop knows we will put the best hopeful spin on muellers absence...

and laud him as some sort of christ figure. So far, he hasn't done much for the two years we gave him, to stop trumps illicit presidency. Glad he indicted 30+ russians who'll never be held accountable. Thought the focus was on a cheater in the WH?

[TwilightZone]

5. "Thought the focus was on a cheater in the WH?"

The focus of the investigation was on links between members of Trump's campaign and the Russians, not just Trump, and any matters that arose as part of the investigation. That's why several people associated with him were indicted, not just Russians.

[Chin music]

10. Sure. Thanks for the encouragement.

i feel you knew what i meant. If it wasn't to stop trump, why have we all put our eggs in one basket for 2+ years? Indirectly it was to stop an illegitimate presidency, and thus stopping trump.

[TwilightZone]

26. Getting Trump directly was/is always going to be a challenge.

The reason why he had all these minions to do his dirty work was for plausible deniability. My biggest fear about the Mueller Report has always been that it *doesn't* make solid enough connections from Trump to the Russians, which would make it harder to pursue him for other matters. Barr is clearly covering up something, but I'm not holding my breath for a bombshell, even from the full report.

I'm not sure who the "we" is that put all our eggs in one basket, but Dems, in general, didn't do that, which is why we made gains in 2018. Running on issues, rather than focusing completely on Trump, is how we won. It's a strategy we need to continue.

3. CNN covering this now.

6. If only, later tonight,

Mueller announces he will hold a press conference right after Barr’s.
Won’t happen, but a lot of people would crap their pants.

[Chin music]

11. Or tonight at 12:01 am.

And get out ahead of it.

[FakeNoose]

7. Why don't you ask him, Jerry Nadler?

... and while you're at it, ask Bill Barr why the HELL is Rudy Giuliani writing a counter-report, and how can he do that without seeing the actual Mueller report first? Are Chump and Giuliani in possession of the unredacted Mueller report?

[Grasswire2]

28. WH has been getting briefings from DoJ

...so they can write their rebuttal.

Corruption at the highest level.

[Srkdqltr]

8. Now we know there is something very damaging in the report.

[Glimmer of Hope]

9. Releasing the report after he spouts more nonsense is such bullshit!

He controls everything and it isn't even his report. Why the delay? Did he show the report to the WH before the redactions? Ugh.

[Sunsky]

12. Again we're being outplayed by these criminals

They seem to be two steps ahead of us in this cover-up. They'll get their soundbites in, and then we'll play catch up. This is ridiculous.

[sandensea]

13. Mueller? Mueller? Anyone?

They say that those who remain silent are understood to consent.

Why haven't we heard form the Special Counsel or anyone from his team, to shoot this BS balloon down already!

[Chin music]

14. Good good point. Time to rise and shine Mueller.

If Mueller hasn't spoken or effected this whole kangaroo court by tomorrow noon, he might as well have not done any of it. There will be so many versions of the report out that nobody will know which is which, and the gop will choose their version, and start having the media outlets THEY OWN, start spinning it.

[sandensea]

15. +1

Framing is almost everything.

Many a lie still parades as the truth, simply because the perpetrators were quick and crafty when it came time to create the narrative.

[Chin music]

17. Nice.

I like that one.

[sandensea]

20. Why, thank you.

It is what it is, sadly.

Jabba-the-Barr is used to getting the last word on these things.

This time I just hope those can actually stop him, will.

[watoos]

16. I think you missed Rachel's point,

When Mueller Tweets he does it for a serious reason. His not being at the sham press conference is a shot across the Trump/Barr bow. Mueller won't let Trump and Barr blow up our rule of law.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. Exactly. 100%. . . . nt

[Chin music]

21. No sir. I didn't miss the point, bc the point is my own.

We continuously speculate here. We always give the most positive hopeful spin on words. We are by nature the kindest of Americans. If i spent two years writing a report to save Democracy, i'd be there. maybe not on the dias, but, I'd be there. And if I wasn't there, then I'd exercise my 1st Amendment right tomorrow right after, to set it straight. Being mad doesnt=slamming D's. Personally, Mr mueller needs to snap to attention to 340 million Americans who paid him the last, how many years? Lets go. IMHO.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. What Maddow means is that Mueller has the integrity NOT to be a prop at the press conference. . nt

[Poiuyt]

29. Yes. And Peter Carr's terse statment solidifies that

Special Counsel spokesman Peter Carr: "Neither Mueller nor anyone else from the special counsel’s prosecution team will be in attendance at the Barr press conference."

[Hekate]

22. Kick

[B Stieg]

23. She's just saying that NONE of Mueller's team...

including the Special Counsel, will be in attendance at Barr's news conference.

[Progressive2020]

24. Release The Full Report!

Release the full report! They are guilty of obstruction. Lock them up!

[SayItLoud]

25. I think it's a possibility that Barr will use presser to "explain" the color coded

redactions and that's it.

I also think it's a possibility that I will win the Mega Millions Lottery this weekend.

[helpisontheway]

27. Press should ignore Barr's shitshow until after they have the REDACTED Mueller report. Nt
