Apparently innocent until proven guilty is not one of the "norms" he wants to recognize. :lol:

Pure delusion by those claiming a redacted report won't be enough. :nod: :rofl:

It's not a spin and you know it. You know very well that Barr could go to a court and ask to release the Grand Jury stuff and he would likely be granted permission. You also know there is no law requiring the Justice Department to with hold information relating to people not charged.

If he goes to a Court and asks to release grand jury information to Congress and the Court says "no," fine. But you and I both know that if he asked for that permission in cooperation with, say, Nadler it's very likely he'd be granted it. And there is nothing preventing him from asking for it.

This is not a situation where it's absolutely not possible according to law to release the report unredacted to at least some people in Congress.

I didn't say "classified briefing." I referred to providing an un redacted report. I haven't seen what Pelosi did yet. But to me a "classified briefing" is a lot different than actually providing "cleared members" with an un redacted copy of the report.

Redactions are rare to nonexistent in classified briefings. Generally, the only redactions are sources and methods, which have ZERO effect on the facts.

You are making things up about something you know little about. Stop making things up, Donald

BTW I wasn’t talking to you about MSNBC. That was for Treep the Parrot

In this instance, would a "classified briefing" mean the "cleared members" involved would get an un redacted copy of the report? Or does it mean they would get a briefing on what the report contains?

If the answer is "yes they would get an un redacted copy of the report" I stand corrected. If not I do not.

If the answer is "yes they would get an un redacted copy of the report" I stand corrected. If not I do not.
They would get both a briefing AND a copy of the report, REDACTED FOR SOURCES AND METHODS which they do not NEED TO KNOW, which is LAW.

Pelosi has already rejected the classified briefing so she and her cohort can lie about coverups. They know exactly what they are doing

That hook is caught squarely in your upper lip

I hate to break this to you but that majority of Americans who don't like Trump and who believe the Mueller report did not exonerate him are real Americans. Most Americans want him out. Unless something changes significantly most Americans are going to vote against him in 2020. It's just a question of whether he can slip in thanks to the Electoral College again.

You are deluded, Trump will win in 2020 by a bigger margin than he did in 2016. He will even win the popular vote, his approval is now 50% better than your guy Obama ever was.

Chizzang is right - we should be uniformly glad

There’s a good theory here as to why some of you are in grief that Trump didn’t conspire with the Russians:

https://hotair.com/archives/2019/03/29/ ... de-russia/

Some of you are clearly unhappy that we aren’t going though the existential throes we would be if he had actually done it

Agreed.

That’s not obfuscation.

But when Pelosi and Co start lying about what “as much as possible” means let’s see who lines up behind whom

Hey CID.

Don't we already have elected officials that have seen the entirety of the documents of the investigation?

I'm thinking of the gang of eight. Shouldn't this come back to bite them in the ass if it is shown the whole start and subsequent appointment of Mueller was bullshit?

Seattlegriz-

Nope. Nancy Pelosi said no to a Gang of 8 briefing

Since I have a 98% track record of being RIGHT on this thread (Manafort.. dontcha know!) I’ll offer why she did this

A Gang of 8 briefing means that she loses the ability to claim a coverup - because the Dems in the briefing won’t be able to lie about it.

No way a classified briefing happens

BS, there was nothing there from the beginning. Mueller knew that 2 weeks in. Trip, this whole thing is a fraud and was made up to attempt to drive Trump, duly elected, out of office. Morons like Pencil Neck Schaffer will just make up a new fable, as they got people like you to believe it without looking for the truth as they are too lazy.

Nope. They wouldn’t be privy to that yet - and Congress couldn’t really have hearings on it because there was too much overlap with the special prosecutor’s investigation

But the upcoming IG might have something on it - and you can bet the Senate will check it out. The House not so much

You're in a more tenable position than most: law enforcement types will be among the very last to have their pensions vanish so you have more time to plan. Use it wisely.
