Deja vu again...they are accusing the Dems of doing what Barr did to the Mueller report.

All the wailing and gnashing of teeth about "delaying the transcripts of the hearings" has the stench of more projection. We know that Barr delayed the release of the Mueller report in order to get the spin machine wound up, and it basically worked. Thankfully it is still out there, and not in the least "debunked," but public opinion has relegated it to the memory hole, sadly.

Now, the Repubs and WH are accusing the Dems of cooking the transcripts, just like they did to the Mueller report (redacted).

Deja vu all over again.

Reporters need to pick up on threads like this and report on it, and ask them about it.

In this case, I don't think it will work as a tactic, because Mr Schiff and the Dems are pretty secure in their process and know what they're doing. I would love it, though, if Mr Schiff would lead off the next hearing with something about this. That would put it on the record, and it would be broadcast to everybody watching. Sometimes the public needs a reminder of what happened only a couple of months ago, especially in this era of constant gaslighting.
