A Tale of Two Reports

There appears there is going to be two versions of the Mueller reports. One for a select few and one for everyone else.

But who are those few?

The tell is in the wording:

a limited number of members of Congress


No specific stipulation on who that limited number are going to be.

Given that it took every relevant Democratic committee head and vice chair by surprise nor did they agree to such a compromise, its safe to assume its not them.

So what Republicans are getting an extra view and why?
Is it Nunes? McConnell? McCarthy? Who?

This is the question we should be asking.

which includes several high ranking Dems.

If it doesn't at least go that far, then impeachment proceedings need to start...first against Barr, then against Trump.

But our Democrat members of the Gang of 8 know absolutely nothing about it nor did they agree to such arrangement.

I suspect Barr wouldn't hesitate to "edit" any version of the Mueller report he released. He's dirty to the core.
