Quote: Imagine if the Starr Report had been provided only to President Clinton's Attorney General, Janet Reno, who then read it privately and published a 4-page letter based on her private reading stating her conclusion that President Clinton committed no crimes.

When Mueller's investigation was mischaracterized, he publicly set the record straight. I would assume he would do the same with any mischaracterization of the results in his report.

But we see that it is always assumed that Republican appointees will bend and break the rules out of gratitude for their jobs, while
democratic appointees cannot be swayed from the pristine performance of their duties.

Yeah, not saying anything about mischaracterization. I’ve said multiple times now that the Barr report is not going to be lying or disingenuous about the final conclusions.

What you keep missing, apparently, is that the details provided in reaching those conclusions are VERY important. Like with OJ, if you didn’t know the details of the case, you wouldn’t realize how likely it was that he did commit the murder. And to the Start report, and why I said maybe it could be good to not release the entire report, you would keep salacious details that don’t provide any value to the nation, under wraps. Our nation certainly didn’t need to know all the nitty-gritty sexual details that the Starr Report made public.
