Last week Trump said he thinks the complete report should be seen by the public.  Haven't heard him say that again since its release.  Why not?
News Item, Monday March 25(various sources)


Trump Supports Report’s Full Release


The White House said President Trump supports the public release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s full report and regards it as a “total exoneration,” while Democrats contested that interpretation and called for the swift release of the report and its underlying documents.


Great!  And we all have no reason not to trust that Trump is saying the same thing behind the scenes, so we should all look forward to seeing the full report.
I wouldn't bet on that since parts of the report can't be released due to Grand Jury secrecy and other Justice Department rules.
But we all should be grateful that after two years plus of investigations( 3 now in all) we have confirmed no American conspired with the Russians to influence the 2016 election.
Well, since prosecutors generally do not concern themselves with innocence so much as what the evidence shows, your statement is incorrect.
That statement makes no sense.

What Barr stated in his summary is that "the investigation did not.establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government". I'd like.to see the whole report before.going any further. Plenty of room between "no one conspired" and "we could not establish" a conspiracy.
LOL

Pleased to note the Repos feel declining to prosecute is an exoneration. Hilary will be pleased. Has anyone told.Graham about this?
Boy. It is nice to know Hillary is pleased. Especially after the humiliation she has endured the last few years. Time does wound all heels. LOL

Red has at least opened up about how time has wounded him. Even that much honesty is hard for a right-wing shit-heel.

In an intellectually honest chat, Ward would have to concede the double standard.  But Trumpism is a personality cult,, so there's really no chance.

On the contrary.
The double standard is on the left.
We know now after three investigations , most recently by Mueller who concluded “ Despite multiple offers” from Russia-affiliated individuals to help their campaign they got no takers from the Trump people.
Where that leaves us is with four former intelligence big-wigs, James Clapper, John Brennan, James Comey, and Andrew McCabe who led us down the path of the Russian conspiracy that was just exposed by Mueller as a theory with not one shred of evidence to support it.

Red’s got the Barr letter as twisted as his take on the effects of the tax scam has had on the economy. It’s a fine example of intellectual tape worm leaving Red shriveled and dilapidated on many fronts.

..except for 17 Trump campaign affiliated officials who lied about their involvement with Russians.

I'd still love to see why or why not  the dots around Trump Tower and Junior's meeting were never connected.

I look forward to a fuller Barr Report after all he spent a whole week-end working on it.

You don’t put Barr in your justice department unless you are covering up major crimes with rising body counts. Less culpable leaders let him stew in his own corruption. Only when the GOP is at one of its low points is he dragged out of his hole. He is like a black swelling in the armpit or crotch, a terrible symptom of a terrible disease.
