Oh in one of the most insane political stunts "ever" attempted, the Democrats are demanding that William Barr cancel his press conference this morning, clearly worried that they will not get to set the narrative on the release of the Report.
Democratic lawmakers have slammed the news conference as a way to spin the findings of Mueller's investigation before the public has seen the full report, which is reportedly 400 pages long.So just so we understand. The historically well respected Attorney General of the United States, the top Law Enforcement official in the Country, along with the Deputy Attorney General who oversaw the entire probe... are going to provide some sort of "spin" during this press conference. Democrats argue that we need to wait for the Politicians to give us "their" take first, so we can get an honest objective (ahem) appraisal of the report.

7) No "privilege" was invoke
7) No "privilege" was invoke
8) Barr will release full report (unredacted other than Grand Jury information) to Congress
Bottom line, unless Barr is completely lying about what he is about to release in the next hour or so, the report is consistent with what his summary stated. The Barr Press Conference was a slam dunk the President's favor.
HEADS WERE EXPLODING ALL AROUND!

They'll cherry pick one sentence out of 400 pages to justify two more years of investigations.
@julie_kelly2
Important to remember what the latest outrage is all about: The media, Dems and NeverTrump never thought Trump would still be president by this point. Now they’re faced with the real possibility he’ll win re-election next year - bigly. Losing over and over would make anyone nuts.
Trump will cherry pick the report.
We will see what happens next week and see if his approval rating will go up or down..
Trump Job Approval: FOX News 45% | The Hill 46% | Ipsos 40% | RCP Avg 44.2%

'There's no possible way to quantify influence of legacy media in aiding and abetting the notion that Trump was a compromised agent of Russia, but think about how much Budweiser pays for 30 seconds, then think about the cumulative messaging influence...'
Huge release ahead of Mueller

The Cartoons of Luddite Cortez . We all need a good laugh. Enjoy.
Oh in one of the most insane political stunts attempted, William Barr will hold
a press conference this morning. Before the release of the report.
He has been acting as the President's lawyer, instead of the Attorney General of the United States and the Constitution of the United States. This is unprecedented.
@mschlapp
The big winner in all of this? Putin. He got us to waste $30 million and obsess over Trump collusion. It was all based on stopping Trump instead of stopping Putin.
Roger, what happened to the Collusion You knew happened?
Is today about the Truth or Trump Ratings.
Dems attacking AG Barr, DAG Rosenstien and Mueller is wrong?right?
@TimRunsHisMouth
I'm so old I remember when #MuellerReport was definitely going to show Russian Collusion...
Hell... I'm so old I remember when Mueller was only investigating Russian Collusion.
Barr and Trump Cover Up.
Unprecedented but not in the reality show Presidency.
Roger AmickApril 17, 2019 at 4:10 PM
At 9:30 AM tomorrow morning."
8 minutes for Roger to be wrong or right on the time of the Release of the Mueller report.
What will Rosenstein say at the presser?
I think Halfbaked means this as A joke.
"Barr and Trump Cover Up."
THIS WILL BE BAD FOR THE PRESIDENT.
Why? Because we’re about to get a ton of new information about the president and how he conducts business. There will be tons new here, no matter how much is redacted.
The president has the ability to plow through precarious situations by talking about what he wants to talk about, and his base sticks with him. It works here every single day.
TRUMP will be at Mar-a-Lago by this evening.
1 minute until Roger is wrong again on yet another topic.
@mtracey
The only reason Trump/Russia ever became a "thing" was because of the theory that Trump was compromised by Russia and/or his campaign criminally colluded. Without that speculative frenzy dating back to 2016, there would be no Trump/Russia narrative. Don't let them "gaslight" you
Roger, why where wrong on the time of the Mueller Report release?
Wrong again on yet another prediction.
AG Barr is clear spoken and spot on.
They didn't find a crime on objection of justice that would exonerate the individual .
Roger Amick said...
They didn't find a crime on objection of justice that would exonerate the individual .
WTF do you even mean?
They did not find any "obstruction" of justice
Prosecutors do not "exonerate" they charge.
If no charges are brought and the investigation is over you can say you are exonerated.
Stop gaslighting.
Barr's statement left little wiggle room for the conspiracy theorist and the tin hat brigade.
There will be no impeachment.
CNN panel is having a complete and total meltdown.
It's hilarious!
It is. Been watching it. Omg. As good as when Trump won. Nov, 2016.
@RichLowry
Barr says there are only light redactions of the report, says Congress will get an unredacted version of the report, and says he has no problem with Mueller testifying—and the media concludes that he is covering for Trump
Collusion is not a crime.
He repeated it 7 times.
CNN has not even considered the idea that Mueller's Report will back up what Barr just stated.
They still believe that Mueller's report will be damning, Barr was lying, and that Trump/Barr/GOP will end up with egg on their face.
What if Mueller states exactly what Barr just said?
Wouldn't all of these Democrats end up with egg on their faces?
He was acting as the lawyer for the President.
Muller's absence suggests a big difference of opinion on the results of the investigation.
The special counsel has a greater scope of investigation than Barr stated today.
Always wRong Roger.
President Trump not once used Executive Privilege .
Roger is a perfect idiot.
Ignoring the facts and projecting.
The President was depley offended by Comey and others, Barr said that.
Barr is body armor for the President, instead of the Attorney general of the United States.
The attorney general said he and Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein “disagreed with some of the special counsel’s legal theories and felt that some of the episodes did not amount to obstruction as a matter of law,” but that they accepted the special counsel’s “legal framework” as they analyzed the case.
Next roger will say Mueller was a Russian plant. as were the angry democrats. and that Trumps tweets was "objection" of justice. and that we should revote.
or revolt
Resistance Forever
Sanity never
The next few months should be delicious.
Actually seeing what was the basis for any obstruction charge without collusion. Can innocent people claim innocence? Was it really just this?
What does the upcoming IG report find.
How does Barr proceed with making sure there was a basis for beginning the spying on the Trump campaign and exactly when did it start and who authorized it.
Truly delicious.
@seanmdav
As you watch the media respond to news that even St. Mueller himself found zero Russian conclusion, keep in mind that they are cultists in the throes of a full-blown delusional disorder. In their minds, all evidence against their conspiracy theories only proves the conspiracy.
@jabeale
Anyone taking note of the fact that all of the caterwauling currently being witnessed on cable news sets - after two years of collusion, conspiracy, treason, compromise, Steele dossier - is about obstruction? Not a word in defense of their two-year theory. It just vanished.
@Techno_Fog
Mueller's report isn't just proof of Trump's innocence. It's an indictment of the DOJ and the FBI: McCabe, Rosenstein, Yates, et al.
Re-read the Carter Page FISA applications:
"the Russian governments efforts are being coordinated with @carterwpage"
That's perjury.
@ChuckRossDC
It's telling that none of the reporters at the Barr press conference asked him about Mueller's findings on collusion. It's the reason for this whole thing, but the press has moved on.
The report is available now.
The report is available now.
Remember Roger how the donks complained when Barr made his report just 2 days after Mueller submitted. You hypocrites will be out in 20 minutes
The report is out, later then Roger Predicted it would be.
Being wrong is one thing HalfintheBag does well.
(Reuters) - White House counsel Don McGahn refused to carry out President Donald Trump’s order to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller “for fear of being seen as triggering another ‘Saturday night massacre,’” according to Mueller’s report.
