    We know Barr wanted the job so he could protect the Office of the President. We know he considered the Mueller Report as "fatally misconceived." We know the DOJ prohibits indicting a sitting President. We know the DOJ does not wish to spread harmful info of a person if it is not going to indict, like say a sitting President.

    So, is Trump a peripheral third party? We don't know. Barr refuses to differentiate between a "person" and the President of the United States.

    In all respects, particularly when it comes to Trump, there is quite a difference.

    The above may have changed, emphasis on "may."

    Barr says won't redact information from Mueller's Report just because it would damage Trump's reputation, he told Congress on Wednesday.

    The Week reports, "During his testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee, Barr was asked about the reasons he has provided for redacting the report. One type of information he's concealing is content that would "unduly infringe on the personal privacy and reputational interests of of peripheral third parties," and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) asked if this means Barr will redact information to protect Trump's reputational interests."

    "No," Barr responded. "I'm talking about people in private life, not public office holders."

    So, Barr says he will provide all the evidence pertaining Trump that is contained in the Mueller Report. Based on what Barr has already said and done, most will believe it when they see it.

    For the second day in a row in hearings before Congress, Barr refused to discuss whether he has given the entire Mueller Report to Trump. That is significant because Mouth said two weeks ago that he wanted the report to go public because he had nothing to fear.

    Now he says, “This was an attempted coup. This was an attempted takedown of a president, and we beat them. We beat them. We fight back, and you know why we fight back? Because I knew how illegal this whole thing was. It was a scam.”

    To the FBI that began the investigation, Trump added, “They knew it, too. And they got caught, and what they did was treason. What they did was terrible. What they did was against our Constitution and everything we stand for. So, hopefully, that will happen,” referring to Barr's investigation of the origins of the inquiry which Barr regarded as "spying."

    Trump called on Barr to investigate the origins of the probe, which he has repeatedly claimed was a “hoax” and “Witch Hunt!” cooked up by Hillary Clinton and her supposed “deep state” supporters in the Justice Department — saying there was “a hunger” in the country to pursue that probe.

    “What I’m most interested in is getting started hopefully, the attorney general, he mentioned it yesterday. He is doing a great job getting started on going back to the origins of exactly where this all started because this was an illegal witch hunt, and everybody knew it,” he asserted, before apparently accusing Mueller and his team of treason.

    “They knew it, too. And they got caught, and what they did was treason. What they did was terrible. What they did was against our Constitution and everything we stand for. So, hopefully, that will happen,” Trump said.

    Barr, appearing before Congress for a second straight day on Wednesday, said the government spied on the Trump campaign and said he would look into whether any rules were violated.

    Barr said he was preparing to review “both the genesis and the conduct of intelligence activities directed at the Trump campaign,” including possible improper “spying” by American intelligence agencies.

    "I think spying did occur, yes," Barr said.

    Under heated questioning from both Democrats and Republicans, Barr tried to back down, probably thinking he went to far accusing our FBI and intelligence services of spying.

    "I'm not suggesting that those rules were violated, but I think it's important to look at that. And I'm not just talking about the FBI necessarily, but intelligence agencies more broadly."

    "I am not saying that improper surveillance occurred. I'm saying that I am concerned about it and looking into it, that's all."

    "I just want to satisfy myself that there were no abuse of law enforcement or intelligence powers."

    Yeah, right. Trump has to be jumping with glee. Barr is going to investigate the investigators, complying entirely with his client's wishes, his client being Trump.

    Nancy Pelosi said it best. “He is not the attorney general of Donald Trump. He is the attorney general of the United States.”

    That is not the way Barr sees it.

    This will come back to haunt Trump, and by 2020 he will be a crippled candidate, if he is the candidate. It is more important than ever that Congress sees the complete, un-redacted Mueller Report and the underlying evidence. At stake now is the very security of our country and our Constitution.

    Look at post #3 in this thread:

    I told you. The more that comes out about the Mueller report, the more we will learn about the oranges of the investigation.

    Democrats run government like it's their personal playground. They make the rules up as it suits them. They think they're James Bond.

    But they are more like Maxwell Smart.
