2. Yes, but it's not Mueller's fault that they had a smart plan for the release of the report

Barr took the wind out of it and the public only had his words to go on for weeks, and while congress was out of town. The report is scathing.

11. I don't think we should be defending Mueller until we see him before the House.

Let's see what he has to say for himself before we're ready to stand by him.

I'm sorry, but he had a chance to be a hero and he completely wussed out by "going by the book". What a waste of two years.

It wasn't by the book not to interview the kids, if they were going to plead let them plead not take threats and do nothing with them.

That doesn't make any sense.

Also,

Mueller used a reasonable doubt standard vs a preponderance standard in dealing with Red Don's kids ... what the what ?!?!

Preponderance is what is needed to bring charges IINM the first is for trial.

If that's the case with Mueller then I do 100% agree with Pelosi and congress needs to do its own investigation.

... Rod et al and can't speak on the subject.

We'll know by the fight Benedict Donald will put up to keep Mueller from testifying.

There a truck sized holes in the report that even republicans want to know about

- Why was the conspiracy narrowed to the Russian government !?
- Why wasn't Red Don's kids interviewed.
- Why wasn't the money followed?
