Why not release the report?

There is no law that says it has to be released.

OK, so then the strategy is to cover it up.

GOP: The report clears Trump.

All: Let's see the report.

GOP: No, because (insert excuse here).

So why the fuck should we believe you when you say it clears Trump?
 
Why should you be given this accommodation?

Actually, you're the one seeking accommodation of Barr's summary.

I don't accommodate bad faith actors.

I want to see the report for myself because I don't trust you to be truthful.


What have you done to earn it?

You want me to accommodate Barr's summary, but I refuse to do so.

How is releasing the report an accommodation?

Hiding it like this makes it look like you have something to hide.


Barr is following the law. Are you suggesting he isn’t?

What law?

Cite it.

This is the fifth time I've asked this of you, and you refuse to respond.

Obviously because you don't know what the fuck you're talking about; you're just making excuses.
 
Do you think Barr contradicted what is in the report

I don't trust anything Barr says.

Conservatives have lied about everything the last 2 years, so why wouldn't they also lie about this?

Also, where's that 3% growth you promised, and the wall Mexico was supposed to pay for?


Do you think Mueller would be silent if Barr misrepresented what was in the report?

Probably because he's waiting for his chance to testify publicly under oath in front of Congress.
 
Quit being a dishonest moron, if that is even possible.

Status of the Department's Review

"The relevant regulations contemplate that the Special Counsel's report will be a "confidential report" to the Attorney General. See Office of Special Counsel, 64 Fed. Reg. 37,038, 37,040-41 (July 9, 1999). As I have previously stated, however, I am mindful of the public interest in this matter. For that reason, my goal and intent is to release as much of the Special Counsel's report as I can consistent with applicable law, regulations, and Departmental policies.

Based on my discussions with the Special Counsel and my initial review, it is apparent that the report contains material that is or could be subject to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6( e ), which imposes restrictions on the use and disclosure of information relating to "matter[ s] occurring before [a] grand jury." Fed. R. Crim. P. 6(e)(2)(B). Rule 6(e) generally limits disclosure of certain grand jury information in a criminal investigation and prosecution. Id. Disclosure of 6( e) material beyond the strict limits set forth in the rule is a crime in certain circumstances. See, e.g., 18 U.S.C. § 401(3). This restriction protects the integrity of grand jury proceedings and ensures that the unique and invaluable investigative powers of a grand jury are used strictly for their intended criminal justice function.

Given these restrictions, the schedule for processing the report depends in part on how quickly the Department can identify the 6( e) material that by law cannot be made public. I have requested the assistance of the Special Counsel in identifying all 6( e) information contained in the report as quickly as possible. Separately, I also must identify any information that could impact other ongoing matters, including those that the Special Counsel has referred to other offices. As soon as that process is complete, I will be in a position to move forward expeditiously in determining what can be released in light of applicable law, regulations, and Departmental policies.

As I observed in my initial notification, the Special Counsel regulations provide that "the Attorney General may determine that public release of' notifications to your respective Committees "would be in the public interest." 28 C.F.R. § 600.9(c). I have so determined, and I will disclose this letter to the public after delivering it to you.

Sincerely,
William P. Barr Attorney General"

Mitch McConnell blocked a resolution in the Senate to release the report.

What party does he belong to?

Same resolution passed unanimously in the House last week.

The resolution has no force of law

Your side is just trying to stir shit up. It will be released. Maybe not on your timetable but your timetable doesn’t matter.

The J/D rules and guidelines and the laws in the applicable USC will be followed.

Yoiu are right, it doesn't matter what the loons on the left "want."
