1. Mueller and Barr conveniently took the "out" provided them....

and kicked that hot potato down the road, to use a mixed metaphor.

It was entirely too messy and embarrassing for the GOP, and the Justice Department to face the Pig's criminality straight up.

Better to shine us all on through the second term if the Pig had won. Otherwise it was going to be someone else's problem.

2. the whale in the room that squashes all this reasoning is that the criminal conduct was

for corrupting the very election that made him president.

wtlivingf?

any crime is ok once you become president? and the only solution is political?

muller should go down in history for cowardice and utter failure.
barr should be jailed for corruption.
trump should have a cell next door so they can whine to each other.

3. Mueller was constrained by Barr

He wanted to release the entire report. Barr only released his own, "synopsis", which he deemed fit for public consumption.

4. that is weak. i give him no pass for kowtowing to the corrupt.
