1. "Harm to Ongoing Matter."

That would be all of the continuing illegal activities being conducted out of the White House. Do they actually believe people are going to fall for this bullshit? I mean, besides their moron cult followers?

[Trenzalore]

3. My guess is the ongoing matter is the Roger Stone indictment

[GoCubsGo]

6. Maybe some of it.

I find it difficult to believe that half the document is about Roger Stone.

[Trenzalore]

7. No, but the page highlighted in the OP probably was

The President taking a call that more leaks are coming probably can be narrowed down to one individual.

9. NPR's been hosting guests who tell everything from Trump's POV for a couple of weeks now

[SlogginThroughIt]

11. Screw NPR.

I gave up on them.

[GoCubsGo]

12. I'm not understanding what NPR has to do with it.

I'm referring to the actual document.

13. "Do they actually believe people are going to fall for this bullshit?"

I'm pointing out that the news source most people think of as honest and even left-leaning has been actively normalizing Trump's actions (just like Barr did).

A lot more will fall for it thanks to them.

14. I wasn't referring to any news source.

I was referring to Barr and the White House. They are the ones who are hiding parts of this report under cover of "Harm to Ongoing Matter", not NPR or the rest of the media.

[FiveGoodMen]

15. And Barr and the white house might get their way because...

...even the "GOOD" news sources are parroting the lies.

[GoCubsGo]

16. Whatever. I was not referring to the media.

2. And then: redacted, redacted, redacted, redacted...

4. The tweet is misleading

I have not read the surrounding detail in the report, but all these redacted pages show is that there was a call, after which Trump had a conversation with Gates. While the tweet is one interpretation of the heavily redacted text, neither the parties to the call, nor the subject matter, are dislosed in the redacted portion - leaving it open to other interpretations like, for example, the call was to Gates.

This report is going to require very careful parsing of the language used by Mueller.

5. So they didn't collude with the Russian Govt...but they DID collude with Wikileaks...this is big

At least from where congress is concerned.

See, there is much more to this when you get into the details, and there is plenty of unredacted stuff here for congressional dems to go on.

8. But Mueller wouldn't interview Trump because

10. Good question n/t

17. Matt Miller pointed out that pages' worth of the Wikileaks dissemination info are redacted nt
