Mueller Report to be released to Congress by mid-April, DOJ says

The Justice Department will release special counsel Robert Mueller's report on the Russia investigation to Congress and the public by "mid-April, if not sooner," Attorney General Bill Barr said. #CNN #News

“We are living in an era when sanity is controversial and insanity is just another viewpoint, ” the economist Thomas Sowell recently stated.

Russia, if you're listening - I hope you're able to find the original unedited Mueller report, so Congress can read it.

oh good that will give you guys a couple weeks of something to fill your time slots with.

[berganmay]

No more Russia, Back to inciting race hate

Just wait till the FISA documents are released . This is going to be good.

[ramirorodriguez]

So he gets a summary written over the weekend and he needs a month to get the report to Congress?

[grakkerful]

Took 2 days to vet the Starr report before releasing to public. Why would it take so long, other than corrupt reasons?

[LeSomeGuy]

So, who did Trump hired to rewrite this report?

[brownsugarzeze]

The house said April 2 is the deadline and they want the real report not the fake one

Bring both Barr and Mueller in front of Congress at the same time for questioning. Like Ms. Pelosi said we don't need Mr. Barrr interpreting for us what Mueller's report says. Transparency triumphs over cover-up.

I'm sure CNN will still call it a cover up. LOL

Redacted? OK for the public release. But Congress has the right and duty of oversight. They should see everything, including source materials, and get testimony from Mueller.

Spanky neeeds to release the memo quickly. The longer it takes, the more it smells like Spanky is cooking up something Trumpian.

To me, what is sad, troubling, concerning is that an investigation was needed to begin with. Does anybody want a person leading their nation that doesn’t have the qualities they look for in their own lives? The President should be a representative of a nation’s ideals and values. If the U.S. wants to be viewed as petty, greedy, self serving, and exclusionary, then the right man is at the helm.

[JustSomeone]

it will be heavily redacted to the point of comedy or frustration

The president, the attorney general, nor anyone else should have the authority to edit, or change anything in the report before Congress sees it. I understand that there could be classified material in there, and that it might be against this countries best interests to let that out to the public, but Congress sees classified material all of the time.

Since we actually do get to choose them, they should be the ones deciding what we get to see, not some jackass who promised the president that he would do everything to protect him if he was given a job. This should also be something that a few politicians who are worried what will be brought out into the open (mitch mcconnell) can not block from happening. When you trust the department that answers only to the president, to see if the president committed any crimes, you must also give full transparency to the people that we elect to make sure nothing happened when they say it didn't.

I seem to recall multiple times where trump said on video that he wants the full report released. Trump can order barr to do exactly that. If barr still refused to release it, trump could sign an executive order forcing him to. He could also just use executive privilege to release it. I don't think he really wants it released. Add that to the fact that he knows %100 of what is in the report, and that should lead you to ask why he does not just release it like he says he wants to.

When you have criminals talking idiots into believing whatever they want them to, and those idiots follow without so much as questioning what is going on, then some of us need to use common sense, and force them to tell us the real story about what is going on. Yes, I am saying that the report can be released by people who have no political power whatsoever. If the president and his comrades get to keep Congress from seeing the full, unedited report, then some of those who have the skills to do so should release it. There are a lot of those people, and many of them live in non extradition countries. Not quite as direct as telling russia to hack clinton's emails in a televised speech, but since trump got away with it, I don't expect any legal issues for it either.

Grateful to be able to get some CNN news online since I don’t have cable tv.

Damn, it's going to take that long for barr to redact all the things that incriminate trump???? cheetolini must be guilty as hell.

[SickBuckNaStY]
