like it was his choice to write a wishy-washy report, and say nothing of value in May.

Otherwise, the wall will always be between the Democrats in Congress and Trump. Surely, Trump won't be able to find another AG that would kiss up to him like Barr has done.

It just seems to me that Stephen Miller and Barr are the two biggest problems in the Trump administration. Of course, I mean that in addition to Trump. Am I far off base?

Congress will ask what they deem appropriate and necessary to get to the root of the report - not to the liking of lowbarr..if I can read this article..so can congress..many people working to get to the facts..

A very small sampling from the article...

The findings detailed in the Mueller Report raise the question whether, since being elected, Trump has acted consistently with his oath to defend the Constitution. Or, has he failed in his duty to defend the United States against Russia’s apparently still ongoing interference in our elections, and instead abused presidential powers to protect his own personal interests at the expense of the U.S. national interest?
