First Charges Filed in Mueller Investigation

I'm not relying on a report with any redactions, particularly of his children. Release the whole thing or nothing.
 
I understand Dems need to walk a fine line on this one given the “conclusion” from Mueller but they need to push for the entire report to be released and without redactions except in cases of highly confidential sources and methods.

If Devin Nunes could force an unredacted report on the memo and burn SM there is precedent.
 
 
Poll: After Barr Letter, Overwhelming Majority Wants Full Mueller Report Released

Key hits (all Americans)

75% want full mueller report released
66% want Mueller to testify in front of Congress

And only 36% believe the current “report” clears Trump of any wrong-doing.

42% approval rating.

For all the gloating among Trumpites over Barr's summary of the Mueller Report, it doesn't appear to be helping him much in the polls, or with the numbers of people who believe in or trust him. As I suspected, the Mueller Report isn't going to alter how people feel about him either way. It seems as if he's locked in stone in his polling numbers - he doesn't slip below 40% in most polls, but he can't get above 45% in most polls either. If he's going to win next year, he's going to need a huge turnout from his base, a depressed Democratic turnout (as in 2016), and maybe some help from a third party source (like Green and Johnson in 2016). All of which is definitely doable for the GOP, unfortunately, but at least he's also vulnerable and beatable, if the Dems can get their act together and nominate a strong candidate.
 
Here are two points of reference regarding AG Barr. Conservative icon William Safire called Barr, " the last time Bill Barr was U.S. attorney general, iconic New York Times writer William Safire referred to him as “Coverup-General Barr” because of his role in burying evidence of then-President George H.W. Bush’s involvement in “Iraqgate” and “Iron-Contra.". Secondly, Barr was the instigator of pardoning all of Bush aides who had been convicted or were about to be tried in Iran Contra.

Add those to Barr's manifesto that POTUS can never commit obstruction of justice and anyone who didn't expect him to cover for Trump was being delusional.
 
Trump still sitting squarely at 50% approval.

Significant lean from Independents who are not interested in impeachment speculation.

Face it.. whatever “accusations” you bought into..it clearly was lacking and so did not pass the Barr.

On to 2024!
 
That why 2018 went 50/50?

Byron York: In subpoena fight, Trump lawyer told Mueller: 'You want to do it, you've got yourself a war'

Trump-Russia special counsel Robert Mueller completed his investigation without ever interviewing President Trump. The two sides wrangled over the issue for much of the Mueller investigation before Trump finally agreed to answer questions in writing. Now, in a new podcast interview, a former lawyer for the president, John Dowd, said the wrangling became so contentious that he threatened Mueller with "war" if the special counsel subpoenaed the president.

Dowd, who was Trump's lawyer from June 2017 to March 2018, said Mueller was hampered by two daunting problems. The first was that Mueller could not establish that a crime had occurred — that there had been conspiracy or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia to fix the 2016 election. Indeed, the Mueller report, as quoted in Attorney General William Barr's summary of its findings, said "the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities" and "the evidence does not establish that the President was involved in an underlying crime related to Russian election interference."

Mueller's second problem, as Dowd and the Trump team saw it, was that precedent from a Clinton-era independent counsel investigation, the Mike Espy case, held that to overcome a presidential claim of privilege, a prosecutor had to show that the president's testimony would provide evidence that was directly relevant to a criminal matter, and that that evidence was not available from any other source. Dowd argued that the White House had cooperated so extensively with Mueller, had provided him so much material that helped explain the president's actions, including contemporaneous accounts of what Trump said in private conversations, that Mueller could not effectively claim that he had no other source of information.
