The redacted version of the Mueller Report has been released, and I have a link to a PDF copy of that report.  However, before that was released, Coverup General William Barr, aka Barrf, did his nest to misrepresent its contents in order to protect his Fuhrer.  He did a poor job. In fact, Barrf Barrfed.<\/font><\/p>\n

Attorney General William Barr\u2019s Thursday morning press conference on special counsel Robert Mueller\u2019s Trump-Russia report was a whitewash<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s no other way to describe it. Barr, who claimed beforehand that the press conference would focus on process, spun the report\u2019s conclusions before it was released and expected reporters to ask questions about a document they had not even seen. He literally uttered the phrase \u201cno collusion\u201d to describe Mueller\u2019s conclusions \u2014 providing a perfect sound bite to play on loop on cable news in the president\u2019s favorite phrasing. <\/p>\n

Barr repeated this and similar talking points multiple times during his prepared statement. He put tremendous effort into explaining why Trump\u2019s behavior during the probe should be seen as justified and in no way constituted obstruction. He even praised the president for providing \u201cunfettered access\u201d to documents and said the White House \u201cfully cooperated\u201d with the investigation, despite Trump\u2019s refusal to submit to an interview with Mueller. <\/p>\n

At the end, when a reporter asked if it was improper for the attorney general to spin the report to the public before it was released, Barr literally walked off the stage. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who is generally respected by Trump critics, stood next to Barr silently. <\/p>\n

It was a spectacle that said more about Barr and the way the Mueller report has been twisted by partisan politics than the report itself….  [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
