But wait…why would current and former White House staff be having “breakdown-level stress” about their testimony in a report that completely exonerates the President? I mean, No Collusion, No Obstruction, No Worries, right? Right?

I keep expecting 4chan-bot to come along any minute now to tell us what a nothingburger this all is and make sure we know their talking points. It was more than happy to do so a couple weeks ago, so not sure what’s changed…
Especially if they actually told the truth? Why worry about that coming out…
One person close to the situation told NBC News there is “breakdown-level anxiety” among the staff who cooperated.

I refuse to get my hopes up that there will be enough actually released to make anyone squirm. We’ll see Thursday.
I doubt it. You’ll see a sea of redactions, with the occasional “a” “and” or “the” interwoven.
That’s why I’m not getting my hopes up.
The redacted Mueller Report has just been leaked!!

Is that what Stormy Daniels saw that fateful night?

I think it was more like Trumpse.
Yup, you knew what the job working for Trump would be when you took it

At this point, I assume Barr has redacted anything vaguely incriminating. They’ll simply push the fight to the courts – delay, delay, delay, until something bigger drives the report out of the news. Maybe a war with Iran.

A limited number of GOP Members of Congress, I assume. The ones that they haven’t already invited over for a secret viewing in their lair.
There’s always money in the banana stand war with Iran.

Even that copy won’t be completely unredacted.
All the incriminating stuff is already being prosecuted, or was moved to “other investigations”. None of which will be referenced in the report, nor will we even get a count of what those “other investigations” are.
Especially the Counter Intelligence investigation.

There probably are details related to tech methods the intel community uses to understand Russian comms. Nobody really needs to see those. Leaks of those collection platforms would cost billions to address.

Some members of Congress have clearance, it’s kind of a requirement for them to oversee the executive. Obviously we can’t have the whole unredacted thing sent to everyone in Congress, but relying on the executive to decide what a report on the executive says isn’t a workable solution if we’re even pretending they’re equal branches.
I took a look to see what one of the lead shills is focusing on:
Given that most of the dirt will be redacted/redirected into other (unmentioned) investigations, it may be possible that all the Steele allegations will be most of what’s released for the spin cycle.
The idiot even asks for a “Balanced” report. I’d prefer honest. Let the chips fall where they may.
