Mueller memo release and 9:30 press conference (https://hosted.ap.org/article/c60e0eee48a6495ea48e39a6c3c7377a/justice-department-set-release-redacted-mueller-report)

Barr will hold a press conference at 9:30 am EST. The Mueller Report (redacted) will be released to Congress after the press conference and then to the public.


A Justice Department official confirmed Barr's plan to speak and answer questions about his "process" before the report's public release. He will be accompanied by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who oversaw the investigation after Mueller's appointment in May 2017. Mueller and other members of his team will not attend, special counsel spokesman Peter Carr said.

After the news conference, the report will be delivered to Congress on CDs between 11 a.m. and noon and then be posted on the special counsel's website, said the official, who wasn't authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

It will be interesting to see what is in the report. We should be able to post a link to it here. Here is he special counsel's website. (https://www.justice.gov/sco)

I look forward to it, especially the reactions that should start rolling in, after careful reflection and deliberation on the contents, at 9:31 am EST.

It will be interesting. I will try to download it as soon as it is released. There is a small possibility that they don't properly lock the redactions, and if so, in Adobe Pro you will be able to read them. Not likely, so I am not holding my breath.

Also each redaction should be marked with a justification for the specific redaction.

[Ethereal]

The lack of indictments for "Russian collusion" says everything that needs to be said. There was no collusion. Trump is guilty of many things, but collusion with Russia is not one of them.

Barr has the Demos all upset holding his press conference before they see the report. Nadler was quite upset that Barr beat them to the punch with the Press. Kind of putting a damper on the Demos before they could run to their Propaganda Machine and get the first say on the matter. Before they could get out and spin shit and lie to the American People.

Now Nadler was attacking Barr. Still not able to figure out that he, Nadler just isn't at the top of the list to be in the knowing first.


Expect the Demos and their Borg following to start connipting and going into convulsions before Barr even finishes his first paragraph.

This morning Dan Proft was showcasing Nadler. Made him look like the dipshit he was born as. Nadler was trying to say Barr should break the law and protocols of the Office of the AG. Flat out lying to the American People about how Barr was suppose to handle the issue.



Rosenstein will be with Barr too.

I hope there's not a lengthy pause between the time they release it to Congress and the time they release it to the public. You just know the reporters are champing at the bit -- half-written speculatives ready to go if what they *hope* they find is really there.

It will take some time to go through the entire thing - due to other commitments, likely not until Sunday.

[nathanbforrest45]

I will be surprised if there is any credible negative information provided in the report. I cannot believe if they had found so much as "Trump farted during a press conference" it would not have been leaked by someone. There will be a lot of "Well this really means.........." from those suffering from TDS but I don't think there will be anything in the report that would truly rise to the level of impeachment. Of course that won't stop the screeches and foaming at the mouth from those that want to take down this president.

BTW, if there is any reaction at 9:31 I honestly do not believe it will come from conservatives.

""I do not believe it would be in the public’s interest for me to attempt to summarize the full report."- William Barr



And yet that's what he appears to be preparing to do.

6:20 a.m.: Giuliani says Trump’s team ‘ready to rumble’ with counter-report
In texts sent shortly after 5 a.m., Trump’s personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani said he is “ready to rumble” with a counter-report to the Mueller report.

Giuliani said his team has been preparing a document that runs “30 or so” pages “without appendix.”

Still lets not forget all the Demos said about Mueller. They put all their stock in Mueller. Ran around crying and whining about firing Mueller. Whatever Mueller says they are going to stick to it.



The Mueller Report On Trump-Russia Collusion Isn’t Released…And The Liberal Media Is Already Melting Like Chernobyl …..

I've never seen so many journalists pissed off about a press conference



Yet, here’s a little taste of the media meltdown that occurred yesterday. If you have time to say a prayer, send some to the Newsbusters staff at the Media Research Center. They’re hard-working folks, the slayers of liberal media bias. But they’re going need a few novenas to get through the slobbering mess of progressive hysteria that’s about to strike all of us. But these folks are the ones who subject themselves to watching MSNBC so we don’t have to—and they nabbed some popcorn moments last night. The media is throwing a tantrum that they cannot use their anonymous sources, which have trash, to fan the flames of Kremlin hysteria. MSNBC’s Chris Matthews alluded to some “inside job” (via Newsbusters (https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/curtis-houck/2019/04/17/looks-inside-job-matthews-friends-go-ballistic-ahead-mueller-report)):

Democrats Accuse Barr of Holding 'Inappropriate' Press Conference


Before he releases a redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller's Russian collusion report, Attorney General William Barr plans to hold a press conference. A group of Democratic House committee chairmen called the move "inappropriate" because, in their perspective, the presser is "designed to shape public perceptions of the report before anyone can read it."


They demand he cancel it.....snip~

I watched a bit of MSN trying to spin Barr's words. Now that collusion has been ruled out - expect to hear a lot of whining about obstruction.

I must have missed the part of the constitution which requires approval from a society of jumped up political hacks before judges can be appointed.

Don't waste your time. You won't find anything about consulting experts to pick judges and justices. Our Constitution is really short since it is not a 'how-to manual."

I don't know for how long, but the ABA has traditionally provided Administrations advice on suitable judges and justices. Trump appears to prefer the Federalist Society. As do I. Sure it is right leaning, but the ABA is left leaning.

I admire him greatly for that. I had reservations about him, due to his close friendship with Mueller, but so far, he doesn't seem to let that get in the way of doing his job. I'd love to see him on a debate stage. Not saying I'd vote for him necessarily, don't know enough about him, but the sheer entertainment value would be epic, lol.
