How is it the the full Mueller report hasn't been leaked.

[boston bean]

Our press fucking sucks.

[Ocelot II]

1. Because they don't want to go to jail?

[dawg day]

11. Pentagon papers case

Some senators should do a Mike Gravel.

[malaise]

23. THIS n/t

[StarfishSaver]

13. And maybe they think properly investigating and successfully prosecuting the wrongdoing

the report likely points to is far more important than satisfying the short-term curiosity of people who really have no need to know what's in the report at this very moment other than to assuage their own impatience.

[StarfishSaver]

2. Hunh?

[boston bean]

5. Huh. Usually and I say that lightly in today's day and age,

Leaks to press is what caused change in politics.

And the media chases these.

What the hell is wrong with the press.

[StarfishSaver]

6. You know it's not the press at least, right

They don't possess or provide leaked information. So, why are you blaming them if Biden's administration does not leak?

[boston bean]

14. Obviously they have real sucky sources.

[StarfishSaver]

22. As I said ... "Hunh?"

[boston bean]

29. The press is fucking weak. Or Trumpass has them all running scared.

I have been flummoxed it wasn’t leaked two years ago.

[comradebillyboy]

3. Why hasn't the Attorney General released it to the public?

The press shouldn't have to resort to espionage to obtain information should they?

[StarfishSaver]

8. There are very good reasons

First and foremost that the report contains information that's highly sensitive and needed for the investigation and, if released, could jeopardize the investigation and ability to obtain indictments and convictions.

What value is added by releasing the report today vs. in a week or a month or two months?

And is that value strong and sufficient enough to outweigh any downside to releasing them now instead of in a few months from now - e.g., compromising sensitive investigations, alerting the subjects of those investigations to what information prosecutors have and strategies they may use, giving potential defendants advance ammunition to fight indictment and prosecutions?

There's nothing in that report that I need to see right now if releasing it in any way jeopardizes prosecutions and convictions. The only value to getting it out now is to satisfy my curiosity, which certainly doesn't outweigh the importance of obtaining justice in the end

[comradebillyboy]

9. Are there any prosecutions on the horizon related to

the Mueller report? I surely haven't heard of any. I thought it was pretty much a dead letter at this stage.

[StarfishSaver]

12. You not having heard of upcoming prosecutions does not mean they don't exist.

And the prosecutions don't have to be directly related to Mueller's investigations - the report could nevertheless have information relevant to other investigations.

[comradebillyboy]

16. I'm supposed to take this all on faith?

[triron]

19. My response as well. Seems like a court filing sometime someplace might have hinted at such, eh?

Thus far zilch.

[StarfishSaver]

24. At this point, yes

You are not owed a blow-by-blow update at this point - especially if doing so could possibly undermine the investigation.

[comradebillyboy]

33. So all you have is evidence free speculation.

Not good enough to keep the Mueller report buried.

[StarfishSaver]

35. We are both speculating

I am basing my speculation on first hand knowledge of how criminal investigations and prosecutions work in and out of government and am giving the Biden Administration the benefit of the doubt founded on that knowledge combined with my belief that the Democratic president and his appointees are committed to doing what's right for the country.

You, on the other hand, are speculating that the Attorney General is hiding something, and, therefore, by definition, suggesting that he is complicit and corrupt.

[flying_wahini]

4. I'm thinking that the Trump rot goes SO DEEP that they are digging into the investigation that

Has no bottom. That it is WAY worse than they originally thought. IMO.

[gratuitous]

7. Oh, you think just because the American taxpayer paid for the investigation . . .

That we're entitled to see the report?

[StarfishSaver]

10. You think that, as an American taxpayer, you have a right to see every government document produced

with tax dollars and to see it in real time, regardless the consequencea?

Interesting

[gratuitous]

18. Real time?

Yeah, I guess April 2019 is "real time." Interesting.

[StarfishSaver]

28. Yes, real time

Since the Biden Administration only got access to it a few months ago and the information therein is probably still the subject and source of current ongoing investigations, this is definitely " real time."

[WhiskeyGrinder]

15. Lol that's not how leaks work generally.

[boston bean]

17. No, the press doesn't work sources?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

31. They work sources all the time. Doesn't mean you get anything.

And whether you get something or not doesn't necessarily correlate with your "skill" of working your sources.

[StarfishSaver]

25. This whole thread is very illustrative of a lot of things

[WhiskeyGrinder]

32. It is INDEED.

[boston bean]

34. What things.

Surely you have much better words than “things”.

[Calista241]

20. Perhaps there's some secret shit in there.

And people in our DOJ don't want to broadcast to everyone how we collect information on our adversaries, or perhaps put people actual lives in danger.

[StarfishSaver]

26. It's more important for the average American to know exactly what's in the report right now

than to protect methods and sources or to try to ensure the investigation isn't undermined and that it results in successful prosecutions.

Who cares if, in the long run, disclosure screws that up? Curiosity must be satisfied RIGHT NOW!

[Blue Owl]

21. It's kinda like the great mystery of Fitzmas

[StarfishSaver]

27. Actually, it's nothing like it.

[Blue Owl]

30. At Fitzmas, wasn't there a sealed indictment that was never released?

[Baked Potato]

36. Time for another dossier to get things moving!
