The Barr-Shaped Cloud Over the Justice Department

slick said:
Mueller didn’t decide whether Trump obstructed justice,
Instead, Mueller provided Barr with the evidence for and against charging Trump
with obstruction, leaving the decision up to the attorney general.

18 U.S.C. 1512(c), makes it a crime for any person who corruptly or
“otherwise obstructs, influences or impedes any official proceeding,
or attempts to do so.” However, this provision has been narrowly
construed as well on the underlying conduct and the need for some “official
proceeding.” Mueller was fully aware of that problem since his principal
deputy, ANDREW WEISSMAN, was responsible for overextending
that provision in a jury instruction that led the Supreme Court
to reverse the conviction in the Arthur Andersen case in 2005.

'As Trump soars higher, Dems reach their lowest point yet'
By Michael Goodwin April 13, 2019

Many are furious with Barr, with some hysterics saying they want to remove him from office, as if somebody must be impeached.
CNN, NBC and others are accusing Barr of doing Trump’s “dirty work” by daring to use the “spy” word, as if straight talk is
too much for their tender sensibilities.

They are so in the tank against Trump that they denounce the search for truth because the truth might *favor the president.

James Clapper and John Brennan, the intelligence chiefs under Obama who came out of the closet as naked partisans,
added their two cents of shock. “Stunning and scary,” Clapper said of Barr’s plans, and Brennan accused Barr of
sounding like a “personal lawyer” for Trump.

Translation: we better lawyer up.

Meanwhile, Mueller, the would-be savior, is now a nobody, an afterthought in the Dems’ river of rage.

Lets read the report. All the rest is just wild speculation based on little more than a glimpse of a shadow on the wall inside a cave.
