AG Barr proclaimed Mueller Report null and void.

And that was the final word on it.

Trump supporters believe it was all a "witch hunt". It was all a "hoax".

Donald Trump seems to talk more about the Mueller Report than do the Democrats?

Will the two-year investigation by Robert Mueller be of any benefit to Democrats in the upcoming impeachment trial ?

Should the Democrats simply forget about the Mueller Report and move forward with the evidence they have gathered from the Ukraine investigation?

Barr was brought in to shut down the investigation and deep 6 the report. I would
bet everything I own including my lab puppy that it is devastating to Trump.

Much of the Mueller Report was published, tis true, but the full report still hasn't seen the light of declassified day.

... the Trump campaign and Russia, and have Barr fight like hell to keep the report from seeing the light
of day. I might be wrong but I think once the whole report is "out there" then Trump and company will
be done.

6. Mueller's Horrid Testimony Before Congress

Made it very difficult for Democrats to politically pivot to Impeachment on the Mueller Report …..He didn't want to testify . ...And it showed ..MSNBC and CNN had informed viewers for two years that Mueller was a man endowed with almost superhuman gifts …. The gap between the hype and the reality made for shocking television ….What a gift to Trump …..The day after Mueller's testimony, Trump felt free to directly pressure the President of Ukraine, via the now infamous telephone call , to produce dirt on the Bidens ……………..

Yes, tRUMP is obsessed by the Mueller report much more than are Democrats. Yes, the Mueller report will be of great help for Democrats during the impeachment process. And no, the Democrats would not and will not forget about the Mueller report. It's as vital a piece of evidence as any other. Methinks kentuck included the last question to see who's paying attention...you rascal! note: The opinions presented here were derived by a poll taken among my remaining functioning brain cells.

...independent from the Executive Branch and perhaps Congress? Maybe it should fall under the Judicial? Neither branch wants to give the Judicial any more power for some reason.

It could include three sub-parts, one from each Branch of government.

Their mission would be to protect our nation in the future, from that which we are now experiencing.

They would take an oath to defend our nation from all enemies, both foreign and domestic.

Why not question Mueller's subordinates if he won't talk further?
Where are the lawsuits to allow the full report to be read by the public?

and legislative branches, also the executive branch even if it is controlled by Republicans.

It's very unfortunate that its scope supposedly did not enable enough investigation to develop a tight, prosecutable case that Trump did conspire with Russia, but it includes evidence that he probably did, and much, much, much else.

Btw, how come everyone's temporarily forgotten that the judiciary and congress are two of three independent branches of government? Barr has no authority over either of those. He's supposed to be the people's attorney in the executive branch, representing us before the law.

And that WE don't know or understand most of what's going on and are flapping our hands helplessly has nothing to do with anything. We're voters, remember? That's our role. We are supposed to try to be informed enough to do our own duty to elect ethical and competent representatives, not to do the legislative or judiciary branches'.

Like Trump firing EVERYONE who worked on exposing Russia election wasn’t enough, now they’re making stuff up to discredit Mueller probe with help from the same trolls who worked Russian interference in 2016.

Is it Treason, yet?
