Barr is in a bind.

[kentuck]

First of all, he never read the Mueller Report. He had no need to. He was going to clear Donald Trump.

After Mueller came out and gave his 9-minute summation of his report, and said that he did not expect to say anything else about it, Barr believed that was the end of it. It wasn't.

Mueller received a subpoena from the US Congress, and unlike most in the Trump Administration, he felt he must follow the law and respond to the subpoena.

That must have been a moment of panic for Barr and Trump. Trump immediately began to attack Mueller and his witch-hunt. Obviously, he did not think Mr Mueller was going to fully "exonerate" him, as he told the American people.

Barr made a public appearance yesterday and said that if Mueller did not wish to go before the Congress, the DOJ would assist him with that. Why didn't he just call Mueller and make that offer? It appears that they are not speaking?

So Barr wants to talk to Mueller but the lines are closed?

And next Wednesday, Robert Mueller could contradict everything Bill Barr has told the American people about the Mueller Report.

What would you do if you were in Barr's shoes?

1. I dont know but if Mueller doesnt do the right thing, doesnt testify and answer any realistic

question I will take back every nice thing I said about him.

I dont want to believe every single human with an R after their name is a worthless piece of human trash, but we will find out soon.

7. let us hope that there are substantial and significant questions asked

2. He has the right to remain silent.

From my recent comments, it's clear I hold a low opinion and no expectation of prosecutions moving forward.

[kentuck]

3. If he remains silent...

... he will not have met the expectations that many Americans had for him.

If he puts Party above country, his reputation will suffer greatly, in my opinion.

4. I hope you are correct.

Those old folks I know in SE KY will sell their vote in a NY minute. (snark here)

5. Mueller is already on the record saying he would testify

Even if he did also state he will stay within the boundsries of the Report. But still, it seems everyone who has read the report seems to be on board with Impeachment. It will be on the House Dems to ask the right questions. And remember, they have been in collective meetings all week.

6. Barr just need to send out the nimrod, Rudy Giuliani, to attack Mueller a bit more

8. Or Mueller comes in and makes the case for Barr's conclusion

This whole thing has been so strange that I'm not willing to rule anything out.
