re: #11 Targetpractice

I think I said back when the announcement was originally made of the report being handed in that it was going to be a “looks bad” kinda report, where nobody gets indicted but everybody gets ran through the wringer for violating policy/regs. The fact that it’s been weeks since and we’ve received few updates and a lot of excuses for why the report has yet to be released, while none of those who supposedly were facing criminal charges have been indicted yet, really indicates that Barr has come up empty and is trying desperately to put a “positive” spin on the findings.

This. X1000.
I think Barr’s original task had been to cobble up an Official Report that would hit all the rIght RW fever-swamp conspiracy-theory buttons, and be released to great fanfare. Which would (they hoped) at the very least, provide some red meat for the “Lock Her Up” crowd, and muddy the waters enough re the impeachment inquiry to deflect guilt/attention away from the WH.
However, I think their plan got overtaken by events when the Ukraine shit hit the fan, and are now stuck with a “report” that they can’t bury, and which, if released, will likely make them, rather than their pet-boogeymen targets, “look bad”.
