Congress could pass 617 different resolutions to get the "entire Mueller report" released and it wouldn't matter one bit. Polling could be 100% to 0% on the subject. Everyone and their brother could demand whatever it is that they want to demand, but at the end of the day, the law is the law is the law is the law.
Did I mention that the law is the law is the law?
Robert Mueller was a Special Counsel appointed by the acting A.G. as a sub employee of the DOJ. The law passed to create a special counsel has legal guidelines in place. The job of William Barr and Rod Rosenstein is to follow that law.
Period.
I strongly suspect that William Barr will do exactly what he has promised he will do. He will release as much of the report as the law, regulations, and the standards of the Department of Justice allows. Moreover, I strongly suspect that what is released will completely reinforce what the summation states. Nothing in the Mueller report will show collusion or conspiracy, largely because there was no collusion or conspiracy. There will be no bombshells regarding obstruction, because there was not any obstruction.
Any subpoena that infringes on the rule of law will be fought by the DOJ. Any legal fight that ends up at the Supreme Court level will likely end with Barr and the DOJ winning.
That is not a partisan call. Exactly the opposite. The reality is that Congress wrote the laws of Special Counsel. Now they no longer want to follow what they wrote. The courts (at least the USSC) will stand behind the party that is following the rule of law, not the party that is trying to change the rule of law.
Seriously, how many times have we seen this scenario rear its ugly head from the left recently? Democrats don't like the laws or rules as they exist? So they demand to change them.
Ironically everyone of these proposed changes in the rules and laws... all stem out of their hatred of Donald Trump and their frustration that there are no specific laws in place that would simply allow him to be removed.
Make no mistake. Democrats will continue to spin their wheels on this one. It's all they have left. But like a car stuck in the mud, the only thing that the spinning wheels will do is dig their hole deeper and make it even harder to unstuck.

Deep state conspiracy theory is total bullshit.
GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham said Monday that he told the late Sen. John McCain to turn over the dossier of Trump-Russia allegations to the FBI, pushing back against President Donald Trump's assertions that the Arizona Republican helped fan the flames of the Russia investigation.
Graham told CNN after a news conference that he told Trump in Florida this weekend that "Sen. McCain deserves better" than the way the President has been publicly disparaging the late senator and war hero in the last week. And Graham publicly acknowledged he had advanced knowledge of the dossier, the existence of which has enraged the President.
Graham defended McCain's role and said that he told Trump that his close friend's involvement was limited.
Graham said that he "was very direct" with Trump, and if Trump believes it was the McCain people who spread this,"he's right. There were some McCain people that took a piece of garbage and tried to go after Trump after the election."
Graham added: "I told the President it was not John McCain. I know because John McCain showed me the dossier. And I told him the only thing I knew to do with it, it could be a bunch of garbage, it could be true, who knows? Turn it over to somebody who's job it is to find these things out and John McCain acted appropriately."
Asked more about the matter later, Graham said he put the dossier in "a safe" the day he got it and turned it over to the FBI the next day.
"And I understand that, clearly people are in the McCain world that did some things inappropriate but it was not John McCain. John McCain did not give it to anybody in the press, he talked to me just as soon as he got it, and he turned it over to the FBI and that's exactly what he should have done.
Lindsey Graham is going to open an investigation on FISA abuses in the FBI.
About time.

That's the deep state roger you ignorant bastard.
It is mind boggling how uninformed the left is.
Or unaware.
But they sure preach a lot.
The press has hounded obimbo-Hillary-Lych for their role in the failed coup.
Former FBI director, CIA director etc. Most of them are veterans and Republicans.
You're out of your mind, you drank too much of W's bathwater.
Whom by the way, despise Trump.
Barr is a Bush Guy.
Barr is a long time Personal friend with Mueller.
Mueller got everything he wanted unlimited documents, unlimited staff, unlimited money, unlimited time, no one out a single restraint on him. He did his best. He failed.
hey alky, how does john mcstain's dead ass taste. and how do get rid of the embalming fluid aftertaste?
pro tip -
if you're intent upon trying to rehabilitate the image of that miserable prick, leave the dossier out of it. that, plus the fact that he was a fucking liar is the legacy he chose to leave behind.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders shared a “Mueller Madness” bracket from the New York Post, ridiculing all of the fake news pundits for getting the investigation wrong.
“Mueller Madness!” she wrote on Twitter.“Which of the angry and hysterical Donald Trump haters got it most embarrassingly wrong? #YouDecide.”
Lol@ Socialist Democrats .
you know, this has been a great series of events as of late -
the SPLC is finally turning to shit
avenatti is fucked
trump is exonerated
the entirety of the MSM proves what we've been saying all along
the JOOS have finally discovered and accepted the fact that democrats fucking hate them.
the jussie hoax crime
i'm sure there's more but that's a great start.
Isis was crushed in Syria, reversing Obama's failures.
Wondering how soon do the Major Media TV Channels Apologize and begin to do fair and balanced reporting ?
Polls should be interesting over the next few weeks.

Watching the responses of top Democrats to the #MuellerDud, we can no longer ignore the likelihood that they are puppets of Putin and have been instructed to sow discord in this country.

The Mueller report confirms that the Obama administration, without evidence, turned the surveillance powers of the federal government against the presidential campaign of the party out of power. This historic abuse of executive authority was either approved by President Barack Obama or it was not. It’s time for Mr. Obama, who oddly receives few mentions in stories about his government’s spying on associates of the 2016 Trump campaign, to say what he knew and did not know about the targeting of his party’s opponents. . . .
It’s time for this lawyer and alleged passionate defender of the Bill of Rights to explain the actions of his overzealous and overreaching executive branch. If he didn’t find out about the wiretapping until after the fact, when exactly did he learn about it and how did he respond?
What has always seemed clear is that Mr. Obama never actually believed the now-discredited claim that the Trump campaign worked with Russia to rig the 2016 U.S. elections. . . .
If Mr. Obama never bought into the collusion conspiracy theory, then the question is why he endorsed or allowed the use of federal surveillance tools against the party out of power—a direct threat to the democratic process that is at the heart of our country’s greatness.
Mr. Obama might have room to deny any knowledge of the details of the surveillance abuses, given the story his FBI director told Congress—if anybody could believe that story.
The absolute bare minimum that Mr. Obama owes this country is an explanation of the actions of his government in spying on a presidential campaign.

politico was nice enough to respond to your question -
But after the nearly two-year investigation found no collusion or clear obstruction of justice, Trump and his aides showed little interest in healing or national unity.

@PressSec
Democrats and their liberal media allies for two years slandered President @realDonaldTrump for “conspiring with Russia.” It was all a malicious, preposterous lie given wall to wall media coverage despite zero evidence. This should never again happen to an American President.
The lunacy of the right will continue unabated....just like the tax returns....this friggin report will never see the light of day....!!!!
WASHINGTON – As the nation learned special counsel Robert Mueller did not find evidence that the Trump campaign conspired with Russia, Republicans celebrated and then took aim at many of the president's foes.
One of the biggest targets thus far: Rep. Adam Schiff, who heads the House Intelligence Committee.
"Adam Schiff should resign," White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said Monday morning on Fox News. "He has no right as somebody who has been peddling a lie day after day after day unchallenged." She added Democratic-led investigation in the House would "never have the credibility of the Mueller investigation."
Attorney General William Barr issued a four-page summary of Mueller's report on Sunday, declaring that Mueller's 22-month inquiry had not found that President Donald Trump or his campaign conspired with Russian efforts to sway the 2016 election.
But, on the issue of whether Trump had sought to thwart the investigation, Barr said he and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein determined that the president's conduct did not constitute a crime because Mueller's team did not reach a conclusion on whether Trump had obstructed justice.
Republicans took the findings as a victory lap and called out Schiff by name repeatedly on Monday.

Not at all. There was nothing to win Denise.
Then why is trump declaring victory????? goat fucking asshole
Apparently to live rent free in your head.
Bad information.
That’s what former CIA Director John Brennan is blaming for his near-constant attacks on President Trump after Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe into alleged collusion between Trump and Russia ended up clearing the president.
Brennan, whose role in the Obama administration helped land him a job as an MSNBC contributor and lent his perspective on national security major gravitas, once warned that the Mueller probe showed “our Nation’s future is at stake.” But on Monday, a day after Attorney General William Barr released a summary of Mueller's findings, showing there was no evidence Trump or anyone close to him colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election, Brennan admitted he may have gotten it wrong.
“I don't know if I received bad information, but I think I suspected there was more than there actually was,” Brennan told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
It was your job to be right. You failed then and now.
It was your job to be right. You failed then and now.

Republicans block U.S. Senate Democrats' move on making Mueller report public

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell on Monday blocked a second attempt by Democrats to pass a measure aimed at prodding the Justice Department to release to the public Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
Earlier this month, the House of Representatives voted 420-0 in favor of making the report public, with no Republican opposition.
On Sunday, Attorney General William Barr informed Congress that Mueller had concluded that President Donald Trump's campaign did not collude with Russia to influence the outcome of the 2016 election. But the probe left unresolved the question of whether Trump engaged in obstruction of justice.
"There is no good reason not to make the report public," Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said.
Trump’s Most Dangerous Pick So Far
Catherine Rampell: “President Trump has made a lot of ill-advised nominations. But perhaps no single choice could inflict more long-term damage than the one he announced Friday: Stephen Moore, Trump’s pick to join the Federal Reserve Board.”
“Moore’s many economic claims over the years have revealed him to be, shall we say, easily confused…”
“A newspaper banned him from its pages because of his struggles in getting basic statistics right. During the dozens of times I’ve debated him on TV, he has persistently misstated easily Google-able facts. These include whether the country is experiencing deflation, whether Canada’s tariffs are ‘twice as high as’ ours, and whether the Fed predicted that Trump would crash the stock market. (Nope, nope, and huh?)”
“Now, somehow, Moore has been nominated to the Fed.”
AN INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT NOMINATES YET ANOTHER INCOMPETENT
Roger, how is your NHL Team doing?
The Las Vegas Knights made the Stanley Cup Last year. Then you jumped on their band wagon. They lost the Stanley Cup .
Anyone here acknowledge the fact that Lindsey Graham, trump sucker extraordinaire was the person that told McCain to send the dossier to the FBI thus negating the BULLSHIT that trump has spewed about McCain being the first!!!!!

Trump’s Most Dangerous Pick So Far"
Jane wets his diaper.
WSJ. Nails it.
"Just look at their hysterical overreaction to President Trump’s appointment of economist Stephen Moore to the Federal Reserve Board, whose primary role is setting the level of interest rates in the economy.
Moore has been a senior economist on the Congressional Joint Economic Committee, served as an economist at the Heritage Foundation, and been a member of the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal, where I got to know him well. He is known for his sunny disposition and ability to work with others."
Mueller Investigation Concludes Hillary Clinton Was Actually Just A Terrible Candidate
WASHINGTON, D.C.—After a two-year-long investigation that included thousands of indictments, hundreds of search warrants, and several guilty pleas, Robert Mueller and the FBI managed to provide conclusive proof that Hillary Clinton was actually just a terrible candidate, sources confirmed Monday.
The official report summary indicated that the main factor in Clinton losing the election was not Russian collusion but her just being a really bad nominee.
"We have uncovered damning evidence that Hillary Clinton lost the election by colluding with the DNC to be the absolute worst possible candidate," Mueller said in his first public address since the historic report was delivered. "As we could not find any Russian collusion, this was the only thing we managed to prove."
"I mean, she lost to Donald Trump, for Pete's sake," he added, shaking his head.
Investigators showed that Clinton's extreme lack of charisma or likability, her awful public policy record, her constant disparagement of millions of Americans she disagreed with, and her terrible campaign strategies resulted in her defeat.
"The only collusion we found was between Hillary Clinton and her campaign to be really unlikable," Mueller continued. "And while she really is repulsive to so many Americans, that's unfortunately not a crime, so I can't charge her with anything. Ugh."

Donald Trump is getting his first $1 billion of wall from money the Defense Department was supposed to use for other things. Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan has told the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to go ahead with using that money to build 57 miles of “18-foot-high pedestrian fencing, constructing and improving roads, and installing lighting within the Yuma and El Paso Sectors of the border,” he wrote in a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.
And, according to leaked memos from Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Robert Neller, the push to shift money from its intended uses to the wall is creating “unacceptable risk to Marine Corps combat readiness and solvency.” But Donald Trump wants what he wants, and what he wants is a useless, expensive wall to keep the beaners out.
The commandant of the Marines has warned the Pentagon that deployments to the southwest border and funding transfers under the president's emergency declaration, among other unexpected demands, have posed “unacceptable risk to Marine Corps combat readiness and solvency.”
In two internal memos, Marine Corps Gen. Robert Neller said the “unplanned/unbudgeted” deployment along the border that President Trump ordered last fall, and shifts of other funds to support border security, had forced him to cancel or reduce planned military training in at least five countries, and delay urgent repairs at bases.
In May 2017, just after Trump fired former FBI Director James Comey, the FBI launched a full counterintelligence investigation into the president to determine whether he was acting as a Russian agent. “We were concerned, and we felt like we had credible, articulable facts to indicate that a threat to national security may exist,” former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe..
Not your fucking dossier.
Excellent Roger, so when the FISA application is produced you will have nothing to apologise for since the dossier will not have been used. I will wait for that though.
But since Trump was fully in his right to fire him what are the credible articulable facts you brought up from the proven liar McCabe?
It is another beautiful day.
Jussie Smollett - all charges dropped and case is sealed.
Isn't that conveeeeenient
Isn't that conveeeeenient
Just like barr and his faux opinion.......LOLOLOLOL

They know Smollett was guilty as sin but they are dropping the charges anyway because he's a famious, black, gay, man.
Proving once again there's one set of justice for the rich and famious and another for the rest of us.
Welcome to your liberal paradise.
"It is another beautiful day."
It really is. Thanks to Speaker in Name Only attacking AG Barr.
The very thing she was against.
She is a horrid person, soulless cunt.
Roger
The Pentagon identified over 12 billion dollars that was no allocated to any project started or proposed for 2019. Trump was asking for less than 4 billion.
So you just got your collective 2 years of paranoid delusional fantasy shoved up your collective liberal asses...
and you go right back to unidentified sources, leaked memos, and tea party gossip.
Fools never learn.
They never learn.
Roger so believed in the Manic Mueller being the silver billet.
She is gift. She has sat on a fence post. Nothing says leadership like fence sitting.
"Tuesday while speaking to reporters, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) declared the potential impeachment of President Donald Trump was “not on the table until it is on the table.”
Poccahatous makes me laugh.
"Look, I spent the last couple of days in New Hampshire,” she said. “I did a bunch of big public events. I took about 30 questions, just unfiltered from anybody, and then did long lines afterward where I talked to people — probably altogether over the weekend got maybe 100 questions. Do you know how many were about the Mueller report? Zero. Because what people were asking about were the things that touch their lives every day.”
Yep, no Socialist Democrats care NOW about the Manic Mueller fail.
Trump was asking for less than 4 billion.
ONLY $4 billion......while you bitched and moaned about the 20 million mueller spent and the 7 million on NPR.....you really are a contradiction at ever junction there Lil Scotty.....BTW...the money he is stealing was done properly by congress and trumps illegal grab will soon be tested by the supremes......
