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.

Twitter’s in a tizzy. It is hilarious. I am so drunk from all the liberal tears. There is an abundance of them.
You have it. The truth to them is whatever they wish and want it to be. They have diseased minds.
Their ideas on freedom, security and prosperity are not the same as ours.
They want what they perceive those things to be in a collective sense. They look at things emotionally. We look at things logically, for the most part.
Neither side will give in so I expect one way it will play out is like a stalemate with sporadic violence.
That’s true. Indoctrination has been very successful.
“That they (MSM) are working very hard to ensure everyone believes that the report is just political gamemanship and not to pay any attention to any incriminating facts involving any democrats”.
Hear, hear! That’s a winner.
Now yer talkin', caww.

Pelosi and Schumer are liars and should be called out. It should be pointed out, ad nauseous, that the redacted portions must be redacted BY LAW. Some on should get in Schumer’s face and say that and point to the statute.
LOL
I believe the report will be about how Trump behaved toward the investigation. Witch hunt comments, tweets etc. They will smear him with obstruction of justice claims. In short, Trump obstructed an investigation into nothing. His response should be: “So what!”
Trump “might have” obstructed “justice” in a crime he never committed but the democrats did commit! It’s hard to understand this posttruth culture!
...”It’s hard to understand this post-truth culture!”....
Living in an age of lies in both politics and religion says it best.....
Jer 7:28: “So you shall say to them, ‘This is a nation that does not obey the voice of the LORD their God nor receive correction..... Truth has perished and has been cut off from their mouth.’”
I’m fully convinced this entire ‘thing’ and the efforts now to sustain and feed public consumption for many weeks ahead continues to be a Demorat/media effort to keep the dogs off the Demorats tails.....while the media loves to spoon feed everyone tunning in.
It would be easy to say the US is under Gods judgment because we have based our system on godly concepts and principles and yet ‘do not enforce them’,... for the most part we have abandoned them.
If you look up the judgments the Lord sends to a nation, they often come by invasion, weather, finances, food, health and increase in crime and murder. We see all of these in play. When the innocent are allowed to become victims i.e. the unborn,.. at some point God steps in.
Yep - Barr knows what they want to do and is co-opting their “first-chance” desires to corrupt and spin...got them all googly-eyed and sweating bullets.
as much as I pray this report will prove 100 percent to be a nothing burger...I have serious reservations...this is not going to be a slam dunk...the report will be written in a way as to create doubt that Trump is totally innocent in my opinion (even though we know his is innocent)...there will be enough meat to feed the rabid left :( Mueller is not a nice guy (my opinion)
..... “first-chance”....
Demorats only want a Document they can ‘pick’ from to hand the media another story they’ve glued together.
