Politico: President Donald Trump Legal Team Planning A ‘Counter’ Mueller Report | Hardball | MSNBC

How do you begin writing a rebuttal when no one has seen it yet?

[karenbishop]

Does trumps legal team get to see the report. If it is passed around the White House it must be released to USA.
You know anything they say will be a lie.... this is getting boring and predictable....

[tonykeo]

Barr gave them the Mueller report. How else would you explain Trump and his lackeys willingness to counter Mueller report with their own counter report.

[meheretoday]

really could America sink any further into the sewer?

[Moowe]

A counter report of a report no one has seen.
Who freaks out after "total exoneration"?
After all of this, ive got no trust at all for the Republican party. Never did, definitely never will lol

[karenbishop]

Barr is looking very old since he took on this job. And he is going to look much older in orange, it isn’t a flattering colour.

[louisedumais]

so everyone and their uncle can get this report except congress, Trump has not been indicted so why does his legal team need it, and more importantly why are the people ok with this.

[Anatoli]

So, Barr is writing both the “report” (his version) and its rebuttal? It took so long because Trump can’t read.

[chrisgarcia]

How do you prepare a counter report, to a report you haven't seen yet?

[Whyrwehere]

Rudy "Beetlejuice" Guliani is in way over his head!

[ggraves]

Mueller should have handed that report off to Congress PERIOD!

[nigelcairns]

Why can't Mueller be on TV talking about the report?

[judy]

Maybe the report will show trump isn't corrupt enough for his

[jamie]

Another insult to our intelligence ... It is impossible to offer a rebuttal for anything that has not been read heard or seen...nor can you counter what you don't know...unless of course you have heard seen or read what's coming before those the rebuttal is prepared for have

[rgwak]

But I thought the report "totally exonerated" t'rump? Why do they need a response? 😃😄😆😅

[ersr]

I thought he said he was totally exonerated

[alicemchugh]

What would the ramifications be on the legal team and WH staff who cover up or doctor or omit critical information in the M report ? No crime committed then release it.

[lyndamitton]

Good grief trump..., are you drunk, or have a smack on the head...such foolish talk will be on the records and in the history books...not for their brilliance tho!

The members on the Special Council worked very hard, and sacrificed in many ways, to reveal the truth against this (possibly) worst Administration to ever dirty our WhiteHouse. The AG's redacted report coming out this week, is just that, redacted and useless to our country.

We want, and will get, the full Special Council report. This Administration is making it very easy to choose to vote for in the 2020 elections.

The truth is out there -Fox Mueller
