    Ugh… I hadn’t thought about this specific aspect of Barr’s tenure as AG for a while. If you read the Mueller report, it was scathingly bad for Trump, and the parts that were redacted were almost categorically things that would appear to have been bad for Trump, based on contextual clues. Mueller should’ve been more forward with the findings of his report so the Republicans didn’t get their chance to sweep it under the rug like they did.

      He specifically said that he didn’t have the power to charge a sitting president but that if it were anyone else he would have been indicted already. All he could do was give congress the report and trust they’d do the right thing. Not only did those useless fucks not even read it, they lied and said it found no wrong doing.
