Notable thing abt this new Times piece is that appears to be based largely or entirely on sources near Barr. Telling. talkingpointsmemo.com/prime-beta/the… via @TPM

Mueller’s team was tight as a drum…

…except on the Buzzfeed story, when they spoke out officially…

…and now on this, where they’re leaking to the Times that the report may not be all sunshine and rainbows.

Yep.

Extraordinary we are hearing any comments from anyone on #Mueller team even with several degrees of separation after two years of completely disciplined silence - one can infer that their concerns must be profound. #Trump twitter.com/nytimes/status…

Release the fucking report. If a public version needs to be carefully combed over, fine, but Congress should have access to the full report. Today. Right now.

I’m so glad the country didn’t fall for the gaslighting that has been going on ever since Barr’s summary sorry not summary. The initial self-flagellation in the media had me seriously concerned.

Nunes seems nervous about it.

Devin Nunes is attacking the credibility of the Mueller report, says he's calling it "the Mueller dossier (sounds scary, right?)," and says "partisans wrote this" https://t.co/1vdO2tBjxM

Total exoneration to… Now… You must never see what’s in this report!

Three huge partisan dispshits in that screenshot. Jesus.

Like, they have to realize that if they don’t release the report, it’s going to get leaked, unredacted. They do understand that that’s what will happen, right?

Timex · 2019-04-04T03:20:04.023Z

I think the plan is to just try and discredit the report… Again.

MikeOberly · 2019-04-04T03:21:27.147Z

But I thought the report totally exonerated DJT??

We’ll know soon enough. Our resident 4chan bot should be by momentarily with his NOTHINGBURGER messaging.

Limited information Barr has shared about Russia investigation frustrated some on Mueller’s team. Matching NYT’s good work. wapo.st/2UcEBZv?tid=ss…

Mueller wrote summaries for different sections of the report so that Barr could immediately release them publicly, with minimum redactions so that “the work would have spoken for itself,” a U.S. official told WaPo. Barr did not release the summaries. washingtonpost.com/world/national…

Limited information Barr has shared about Russia investigation frustrated...

Some members of Mueller’s team have complained to close associates that the evidence they gathered on obstruction by President Trump was alarming and significant.

I expect the Putin/ Trump Bukkake vid to be released any hour now.

Probably but then they can start a 24-7 news cycle looking for the leakers at the Mueller team,yet another distraction.

I said this at the beginning, tell Barr he has until the end of the week to turn over the whole report, or he’ll be held in contempt of Congress. Then jail his ass, a couple of nights in the Capitol police’s jail and Congress will see the report.

This is worse than shit Nixon tried in Watergate.

Gordon_Cameron · 2019-04-04T04:33:45.366Z

Rudy’s take, per that WaPo piece:

In an interview Wednesday night with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, Trump attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani said that reports of frustration by members of the special counsel team prove the office was biased.

“They are a bunch of sneaky, unethical leakers,” he said. “And they are rabid Democrats who hate the president of United States.”

MikeOberly · 2019-04-04T05:04:25.872Z

Oh, poor Rudy…you are going to end your career with a massive Trump shit on your face. Sic transit gloria.
