re: #339 lawhawk

Lawyers can be voracious readers. After all, we’ve got to go through tons of written materials in prep (from law school forward). I’m thinking that Barr took the summaries and summarized them too, with an eye to spinning them to the best possible light for Trump.

Even still, Barr admits that Trump’s in trouble on obstruction. What we don’t know is the full scope and extent of everything else, and whether Mueller punted on other charges because of the longstanding DOJ rule against indicting a sitting president.

to me he made it look unserious and frivolous.

he could simply have said - i just got handed a 400+ page report plus supporting info. they’ve been working on it for 2 years. it’s gonna take me a couple of days…..

i know what he did and why. he’s a toadie.
there was no actual deadline or urgency
