    Why would anyone release the report? To please the media mob?

    Dershowitz: "No Legal Basis" For Democrats To Demand Public Release Of Full Mueller Report
    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/v...nd_public_release_of_full_mueller_report.html

    ..."I think, even if Barr were hypothetically to refuse to issue anything, there would be no legal basis for a court to compel him to do that," Dershowitz said.

    "The special counsel, under the rules, has an obligation to file a report with the attorney general. There’s nothing in the rules that require the attorney general to make the report public, particularly if it contains information critical of people who were not indicted. So, this is a political issue. This is a media issue. This is not a legal issue."

    The screaming lefties in this thread, the lefty media that literally proclaimed collusion every day since Trump won, and the nutty lefty congressman that promised evidence to prove collusion. Please don't act like they didn't get it all wrong and please don't act like they're doing everything they can to find a meaningless crumb to help them claim they weren't complete dumbasses.

    Yes the public has a right to know, because the POTUS is the employee of the people.

    Your right but the public has the right to know within the law. We don't have a right to Grand Jury info in which the defendant was not charged. We protect the innocent and the falsely accused in this country. It's a pillar stone of this great nation, Innocent until proven guilty. If you want to change that go for it!

    The key phrase in the title...."SOME" - not Mueller...but some...unnamed folks. We already know the team is made up largely of dems....they waited weeks to say anything. I saw the writer of this piece on Morning Joe this morning, he actually went on and on...basically saying what many of the left have said on here for the past few weeks. He never actually said anything specifically what his "sources" said. My guess, this is more fake news from the leftist propaganda machine.

    Of course Grand Jury testimony and anything that might relate to Natl Security, but the rest is fair game.

    Except to protect classified information and means and sources where necessary? Now your position sounds like every republican.

    Who is trying to take guns away and provide for the population. Trump is trying to empower and enrich the population, not the government. Trump understands our government needs more revenue and the best way to get it is with more output from Americans. He is trying to help with that.

    You are living in that RW delusional bubble in which Trump never lies. Half of voting Americans believe Trump colluded with the Russians regardless of what Trumps toadie Barr said. Barr lied for Trump. Did anyone really expect anything different? You can continue with your celebration, but that report will be made available one way or the other and the ugly truth about Trump will be revealed. Enjoy your victory dance while you can, because your dishonest orange (not to be confused with 'origin") messiah will be exposed and nothing anyone can do will stop it from happening.

    I saw the writer of The NY Times piece on morning joe this morning. When asked directly what these “some people” had to say he deflected and went on with the same song and dance we have heard from the left on her the past few weeks. My guess, this is merely push back from the propaganda left who’s been embraced by the mueller findings

    An unsourced article. Why am I not surprised?

    What did Barr lie about? Please be specific and show proof.

    Exactly. One way or the other, the contents of that report will be released. I'm thinking if the WH continues to resist, the court's will force them to release it in it's entirety to Congress. In the meantime, I have no doubt it will be leaked to the public. They will not be successful in burying two years of investigations.

    All of that information is what Trump and his toadies are trying to bury, but they won't be successful. Release the report in its entirety if there is nothing there. You know they can't do that without making Trump look terrible. Half of the country still believes he is guilty of colluding with Russia and most of the country wants that report released.

    All they have to do is release the report in its entirety to put an end to this matter. It's going to come out anyway, the longer they fight its release, the worse they will look when it does. All I want is transparency. I don't think that using the fact that Trump is not being indicted as an excuse to keep it hidden since they won't indict a sitting president regardless.

    Nadler hasn't even served his subpoenas yet. Which is a necessary procedural requirement that the AG is legally bound to. Barr isn't fighting anything ... he's following the constitutional / DOJ legal requirements to the letter. Nadler will get what he's entitled to under the law. Barr can't legally prevent that. Barr's not legally permitted to take short cuts. Nadler needs to grow up and show respect for the law.

    Mob rule is not how we do things in the United States. That’s how leftist regimes like Venezuela and nazi Germany operate. We follow the rule of law in the United States

    After Democrats' and liberal media shameless attempt to destroy an honourable judge Kavanaugh and his family it is obvious to many Americans that many Democrats and their allies in the media do not follow the rule of law. They believe in mob rule. Unfortunately.

    It’s a sad state of affairs in the Dem party. They are tossing out the ya constitution and rule of law because of their desperation

    So what is the rule of law that says the public can't see this report.

    So know Trump is trying to hide it by the AG following the law? Wow I've seen some partisan takes but this might take the cake.
