Trump: Not Comfortable With Mueller Report Being Made Public — Says Up to AG


Three Dozen Indictments to Date - More Pending
(Six former Trump advisers included)

Potential Roadblock to Public Seeing the Truth
(The AG Could Squash Report)

The latest headline from the formerly on-line UK newspaper *The Independent (now Russian owned) via Yahoo news:


On the CBS interview on “Face the Nation” (Sunday, February 3, 2019) Trump reiterated his belief that the AG would determine whether the public would see the results of the inquiry by special counsel Robert Mueller.

But he would not say whether he would be comfortable with the results being made public.

Related story here from the Washington Post, in part:  

The growing expectation that S/C Robert Mueller is nearing the end of his work is pushing the DOJ toward a potential confrontation with congressional Democrats over the release of any report he produces — and lawmakers will have the edge in any battle, according to former department officials.

The confirmation hearings for William Barr to be the next AG highlighted the uncertainty surrounding the public’s ability to read Mueller’s conclusions when he finishes his investigation into Trump and Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Democrats delayed Barr’s committee vote after they were unhappy he would not pledge to make any Mueller report public and follow the advice of the DOJ ethics officials on whether he should recuse himself from the investigation because of past positions on the matter. 

Barr’s nomination is not believed to be in any real jeopardy, but the flare-up points to the burgeoning conflict between senior law enforcement officials and political leaders over the Mueller that investigation that has gripped Washington for nearly two years.

My 2 cents:  No matter one's personal views of Trump, or the GOP, or DEMS, or S/C Mueller, his report 100% must be made public if not by official release then leaked like the “Pentagon Papers” were in 1971 to the NY Times.

That case went all the way to the USSC and the Times and Washington Post both won the right to print the papers without government interference or censorship. The high court ruled for the press 6-3).

Thus, “We the People” have been impacted by the 2016 election events and every criminal indictment since and therefore we absolutely 100% have the right and compelling need to know the outcome of the Mueller report and not some re-edited version. No exceptions, none whatsoever.

If this president or anyone under him defies the public release it would in my strong view trigger Civil War II and the end of America. Harsh words you say? Yes, but sadly true.

Thanks for stopping by.
