    Was the exoneration in the part that says he wasn’t exonerated or where it says he welcomed Russia’s help?

    Trump being a modest man does not want to rub this complete exoneration in the faces of these poor Democratic Congressmen.

    That's pretty weak. lol Pelosi said Trump withholding evidence and blocking testimony is obstruction. Either Trump is legally permitted to block congress from investigating prior instances of obstruction, or he isn't legally permitted to use executive privilege to prevent investigation. lol Pelosi is hedging, and so are you. Will you and Nancy even be certain enough to go out and vote against Trump in 2020 or is supporting MAGA 2020 "still on the table"? :roflol:

    1) Barr is required to provide the chair and ranking minority of each house of Congress with his summary of findings.
    2) Barr by law did not have to provide Congress with a copy of the Mueller report. He chose to do so, with the Presidents blessing. The document was “slightly less redacted” because it was slightly redacted in the first place.
    3) True as far as I know. Barr is smart and has seen enough to know why the democrats are acting like rabid dogs. He understands at this point releasing more information only supports the democrats political agenda and has no judicial benefit. He doesn’t want to play your games with our laws.

    Yup, any court will side with Barr. I like it how he kind of looks at Democrat wackos who were questioning him sideways like they were from Mars.

    Silly post ^. The withholding of the full report's supplemental backup has nothing to do with "no collusion". That much was evident the day it came out. That "other information" involves ongoing investigations..............and every day more is coming out. Strzok and Page may be doing some jail time. You know, that kind of "stuff". :banana:

    The unstable narcissist actually went from his hysterically repeating

    "Witch Hunt!"
    over 130 times to​

    Screen Shot 2019-05-08 at 4.32.28 PM.png
    "Total Exoneration!"
    after Roseanne's sugar-coated distortion to​

    Screen Shot 2019-05-08 at 4.32.28 PM.png
    "It's bullsh¡t!"
    when someone read to him what is actually in the report.​

    Thus, he went from​

    Screen Shot 2019-05-08 at 4.32.28 PM.png
    "Let it come out!"
    to

    Screen Shot 2019-05-08 at 4.32.28 PM.png

    "Executive Privilege!"

    How can his flustered, kneeling bum kissers possibly keep up?

    The redacted areas refer to the Grand Jury. Should Barr allow Congress members to see this? How does Nadler know what's included if he doesn't read the report?

    That Roseann dude in a merciless prankster.

    His fake synopsis of the Trump Justice Department Special Counsel Report had the grabber and his butt lamprey doing about-faces at breakneck speed!

    If this was true why wasn't the President, as we others, prosecuted?

    Great question...thought you might be able to answer as you were the one who stated Trump was protecting Barr from contempt charges.

    This is where Nixon wound up in 1974.

    This time, Trump will try and use the courts to run the clock out,

    Just about everyone sees that as inevitable.

    Trump's call for transparency - "Let it come out!" - should be the guiding principle to the extent that is possible.

    Any matters that are pertinent to pending litigation should be withheld at this time.

    You obviously don't know about the Mueller Report which only certain members of Congress are allowed to read.

    You also apparently don't understand, as do many leftists on this board, that it would be illegal for the AG to release Grand Jury information. Democratic leaders rely heavily on the lack of knowledge among their supporters and use them well.. If you're sincerely interested in the case this may help explain the situation.

    What is very ironic is that Nadler once held a different opinion about Grand Jury testimony being redacted or not:

    Clinton’s SC managed to get the grand jury testimony that Barr is trying to hide.
    According to @HB Surfer barr already broke the law once lol

    Barr offered access to a less-redacted version of the report to just 12 members of Congress

    Less redacted to only 12 members? We want it all!
