After nearly two years of waiting, America will get some answers straight from Robert Mueller— but not before President Donald Trump's attorney general has his say.

Even the planned release of the nearly 400-page report quickly spiraled into a political battle Wednesday over whether Attorney General William Barr is attempting to shield the president who appointed him and spin the report's findings before the American people can read it and come to their own judgments.
Barr will hold a 9:30 a.m. news conference to present his interpretation of the report's findings, before providing redacted copies to Congress and the public. The news conference, first announced by Trump during a radio interview, provoked immediate criticism from congressional Democrats.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Barr had "thrown out his credibility & the DOJ's independence with his single-minded effort to protect" Trump. And Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said, "The process is poisoned before the report is even released."
"Barr shouldn't be spinning the report at all, but it's doubly outrageous he's doing it before America is given a chance to read it," Schumer said.

I smell a lot of panic.
I want to see their faces when there are pre-dawn raids on a few dem houses.
More honest headline: POWERLESS DEMOCRATS THROW ROUTINE, OBLIGATORY TANTRUM OVER MUELLER REPORT RELEASE
“I smell a lot of panic”.
You’re right. And I’d say it includes Hitlery and Obama.
It’s all they’ve got
....and Schiff went to check on his meds....???...he’s been I’ll ya know
The MSM-Democrats just didn't expect to be playing defense, and they don't know how to do it.
For being such a "dummy," PDJT certainly is running rings around them. He's inside their OODA loop.

What a shallow piece that is. But it’s to be expected from a pool of AP “reporters”.
And what are you doing, Chuck?
“It’s outrageous that the Republicans are using our tactics against us!”
Democrats lash out ...
lol...the Democrats wanted THEIR spin in the media to be the story. Too bad so sad.
When they have the upper hand, they're ruthless, merciless. People go to jail, lose careers, lose their personal fortunes.
When they're on the defensive, they instantly start whining that the other side is playing dirty, that it's not fair, that it's not legitimate. It's incredible how utterly shameless and hypocritical they are.
They only get away with this because they own so much of the MSM.
> It’s incredible how utterly shameless and hypocritical they are.
It is to such a degree that coexistence is no longer desirable.
And then feign (or are) surprised when the torches and pitchforks show up.
Compared to Eric the Red Holder who pretty much ignored congress.
“When they have the upper hand, they’re ruthless, merciless. People go to jail, lose careers, lose their personal fortunes”.
You are right. Just wait and see what they do next time they are in a position to do so.
