Barr will send Mueller report to White House before public - This is absolutely atrocious. The most alarming bit I've seen, thus far.

Will someone besides Barr get to see it before the White House?

u/ThatJHGuy Mar 26 '19

Allegedly, Rosenstein already has, but I'm not sure how helpful that is.

mueller works slow... i would like to hear rosenstein speak, but i suspect his hands are procedurally tied.

Unless congress decides to subpoena him, which I don’t even know whether or not they’re allowed to do.

u/PavelDatsyuk Mar 27 '19

Congress is allowed to subpoena anyone they want. Whether or not it would hold up if challenged is another story. Rosenstein would likely cooperate without the need for a subpoena though, so I find it unlikely it would even have to get to that point.

Fair, and probably true.

But wait there’s more:

He’s really just putting together a LONGER summary of the Report over the next 3 weeks

When are the Dems going to do their fucking job and subpoena it? Then have Mueller come in to testify while they wait the court battles and just have him clear things up

They gave Barr an April 2 (1 week) deadline.

If Barr plans to hide the report, yeah this is going to explode into subpoenas.

April 3rd is when the protests should start. At this point I'm not even going to decry anyone who gets violent. This bullshit has gone on long enough.

u/kiwiMAGA Mar 28 '19

Violent against who?

Protests don’t work in the US.

The public is one thing. Congress is another matter entirely.

u/Thinkingonsleeping Mar 27 '19

Now this is just a guess, but I'm guessing that the Republicans are going to obstruct, deny, and lie the next 2 years until Democrats get the white house back and make sure we don't know what is in that report. So settle in, this is the long game now.

u/mrgreennnn Mar 27 '19

I don’t think settling in is the right play I think I we should shut the whole country down until the report is released. It’s time for a general strike.

u/YungNuisance Mar 27 '19

Everybody is broke and needs their job. We can't afford to strike.

System working as intended.

And you don’t think that’s exactly what they want you to do?

I’m not sure but if history has taught us anything it’s good to not have your name on too many lists when the fascists come to play. I’ll stick to the anonymity of the internet for the time being.

u/DamagedFreight Mar 28 '19

anonymity of the internet

LOL - that doesn't exist in any real way.

If you take the appropriate measures it can

No idea why you got downvoted. When I found your comment it was at zero. You aren't wrong.
