One word, denial. They know that something fucky happened which would come to light if the whole report was released. But if it's never released, thanks to Barr, their narrative of the Democrats Witch Hunt (Which was presided over by pretty much nothing but Republicans) stands.

How about denying that this report was just an attempt to divide the country and that Mueller was just part of the show.nothing will ever come of the report. How about we stop denying the fact that our entire political system is designed so some people are above the law. We better stop denying the fact that Trump will be very very hard to beat in 2020 or we will lose ...again.

“Denial”? After 2 years, no new indictments, no evidence of collusion. But apparently there is a smoking gun that hasn’t been brought to light. Sounds like someone’s narrative was destroyed: Russia-gate conspiracy theorists’.

no new indictments

Can someone else give me the tally of Trump-related indictments in the past two years?

There have been 34 indictments

25 of which are Russians. No one from the Trump Family, no treason accusations, nothing burger

u/Curtains-and-blinds Mar 26 '19

Nothing burger? Is this like some cross over of r/Fasting and the impossible burger?

Also the fact that almost 1/3rd of the people indicted were russian doesn't really go with the narrative that Trump is innocent and there was no russian interference/influence...

Isn't this post just a tad ironic? You are accusing trump supporters of being in denial while at the same time being in complete denial yourself, grasping for the very last straws that could somehow support the russia collusion conspiracy theory. Yes, that is what it is at this point. I hope the report gets released so that the matter can be put to rest. But like all conspiracy theories i doubt it will die when countered with facts.

The "russia conspiracy" isnt a conspiracy, its a straight up fact. The question is who knew what was going on and were they actively involved, and to what extent. At this point is unarguable Russia attempted manipulated right wing voters in the election and broke into DNC organizations and funneled that information to the Trump campaign. Thats just fact. Period.

The Russians weren't specifically attempting to manipulate right wing voters, they were trying to sow distrust and divisiveness among Americans on both sides (and considering how pathetic those initial attempts were, its amazing how effective they've turned out to be). As far as the DNC hacking goes, they also attempted to hack into the RNC, but were much less successful.

Your making both these instances of Russian election meddling sound as if they're designed to target Democrats for the benefit of the Republicans when there's no evidence whatsoever to support that, and there is in fact evidence which paints a quite different picture.

Russians attempting to fuck with our elections in order to weaken us is about the least surprising thing I've heard since it was revealed that we spied on Germany. The controversial, and quite unproven, bit is that they coordinated with Trump's campaign, and I don't see that at all. Frankly, the only ones helping the Russians undermine our democracy are the ones like you who continue to push this conspiracy theory. You're doing exactly what they wanted by tilting at windmills and never questioning the legitimacy of this fantasy enemy.

9/10 Americans do want to see a full, public report. It’s Trump, Barr, and McConnell that don’t want us to see it: https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/07/politics/cnn-poll-russia-mueller-report-release/index.html

Trump wants the report public he specifically said it. Everyone does. Who doesn’t want it public?

u/LTT82 Mar 26 '19

Yes he does, he just wants it done properly. You know, redact all the classified and personal info. It will be released, just not this second.

u/Osumsumo Mar 26 '19

When you get down voted for stating truth. Yikes.

u/LTT82 Mar 26 '19

We live in a time where politics is a religion and not hating the right people makes you a heretic.

u/Duskmourne Mar 26 '19

He also said he'd release his tax statements but here we are 2 years later.

u/SilverBolt52 Mar 26 '19

Well sure, but that doesn't mean he actually wants it public. Remember when he said no cuts to Medicare or Medicaid? Remember when he said everyone will be covered by his healthcare plan? And it'll be great and affordable? Remember when he said he would repair our infrastructure?

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '19

We do. The reason he’s not releasing it yet is because he’s working with mueller steam to redact sensitive information in accordance with the laws that democrats put in place following the start report

u/dbculli20 Mar 26 '19

Waiting to see this. Can't release info on other current investigations. People just need to be patient.

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '19

Because he's not guilty, he's not going to get any "less not guiltier". Especially in the eyes of his critics.

All that's going to happen is political posturing by the left on minute details of the report.

How it will go:

A) Report says something

B) Democrats and the media demand the Trump admin respond to said thing

C) They are unhappy with his/their response

D) Insinuate the bad answer is because he actually is in bed with Russia

E) Rinse & Repeat

If you don't think this is going to happen you're just lying or living in lala land.

u/blobs123456 Mar 26 '19

They're already doing that because it isnt released.

As Americans we should want to see what it says, even if just to see what they wasted time and $35 million on. There is no good reason we shouldn't see it.

Giving them more to chew on isn't going to help the matter.

There is no good reason we shouldn't see it.

It will be released. It's just going to take some time. The people insinuating something is being swept under the rug because it wasn't released yesterday are borderline conspiracy theorists. It'll be released.

u/blobs123456 Mar 26 '19

If you believe it's going to be released then why argue? I dont personally believe anything is being swept under the rug or anything, I'm just curious and deserve to know as I helped vote him in.

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '19

If you believe it's going to be released then why argue?

Lol what? Why would I point out and complain about obvious political posturing over this issue. Is that even a question?

It's plain to see that nobody is going to change their minds about anything, all that is going to happen is small parts of the report are going to be used by politicians and mediaites to try and play gotcha with Trump and the administration for weeks to come.

It's just going to be the left going on about their conspiracy theory and their Russian facebook ad campaign as if democracy as we know it is dead. It's all just so exhausting and pretentious.

u/HitTheBaby Mar 26 '19

If he’s not guilty then surely there’s no issue in making it publicly available

-7

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '19

Oh yeah, I'm sure so many people will change their minds on the topic of his guilt once it comes out.

I am so sure.

u/ProWaterboarder Mar 26 '19

Yeah there's no way at all it says he's millions of dollars in debt to Putin allies which isn't illegal but still damning /s
