The only investigations that Barr can’t stop are those done by state AG’s.

Mueller Redacted this from his report. I am not a lawyer and do not play one on TV, yet what it says to me is that Barr and Trump have no clue what these investigations are. They. Were. Redacted. By. Mueller.

I'm not disputing you. Barr has his color code/short reason for each redaction. A Mueller redaction would not have this marking.

I would love it to be true.

This is a long battle, not a television series or a movie.

A defeatist attitude leads to a feeling of powerlessness and depression. As a union representative, I fought essentially the same battles for over 33 years. There are some fights that we must engage in over and over.

Until we win.

I truly believe Mueller did his job.

Barr is a lying criminal-ass POS. MOST in the corporate media kept pushing that "He's a respected guy" lie & meme though 🙄 I never trusted him post Iran Contra. You see he auditioned for this "Don't worry, I got 'cha back baby" AG job.

... but I think he expected (hoped) to get more support from Rosenstein.

Now it's up to us to create pressure on our Congresspeople. We will not rest until this is over!
Trump belongs in jail or at least out of the White House.

I won't give up.

You also redacted part of the quote.

Full quote

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said after the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Thursday that impeachment of President Donald Trump was not worthwhile with an election coming up in 18 months.

“Based on what we have seen to date, going forward on impeachment is not worthwhile at this point. Very frankly, there is an election in 18 months and the American people will make a judgment,” Hoyer told CNN.

"at this point"

What the hell else does he have to do !?!?

Mueller literally says in the report that collusion couldn't be concluded because of all of the obstruction !!!

House impeaches you know for a fact that the Senate will not.

So.

... or logical.

Fact is he will still be doing all you wish that he is stopped for and probably worse. Fact is our hope will be with our House Judiciary and some sensible voters. I want him stopped as much as you do.

... and there's little political downside to impeachment.

The reasoning against impeachment are not sound.

It'd be much simpler to stop him with "Trump, impeached for working with the Russians during 16 elections and lying about it to the public" ... tag line behind every commercial.

Again, I'm not hearing good sound reasoning against impeachment ... even if he's stays he's politically gimped.

what say you?

which is that it's over, as far as indictments for Trump & family for conspiracy and obstruction.

That's the reality.

That doesn't preclude other actions by Congress. And it has nothing to do with other criminal actions in other jurisdictions against other people.

Of course the other prosecutions will go forward. But reality is reality and not defeatist.

There is much more coming. I am also to tired to explain to you what happened today. Mueller gave way for The HJ to do so much more. There is plenty more coming Mueller left a very wide , long trail.
