Agree that each party is guilty of extreme partisanship when the opportunity arises. I don't have much use for either one of them. I do think the democrats' absolute refusal to accept the results of the 2016 presidential election comes across pretty badly. I think they will keep going, picking any nits they can find in the Mueller report when it is issued. In so doing, I think they run a serious risk of prompting a major backlash.

But nobody is asking anyone to accept Barr's letter with no further questions. The entire report will be released, excluding portions that have to be redacted either to preserve national security (intel methods and sources) or to comply with statutory provisions. And as I understand it, Barr, Mueller, and Rosenstein are collaborating on the redaction, so there is absolutely no reason to suspect any funny stuff there.

Quote:And as for "not a peep" from Mueller that he was misquoted: 1) There were barely any quotes in the summary letter to get wrong. 2) Mueller doesn't strike me as the kind of guy that is going to whine to the media.

Whatever kind of guy Bobby Three Sticks is, he took an oath to "support and defend" the constitution. If there is anything untoward going on, he has both the right and the constitutional duty to speak up. So far, he is not speaking.
