5LeafClover,
Welcome to the community. I understand what you are saying about the Senate, and the appeal of Trump's anti-immigrant message. I was in the grocery store this morning and a Latino man working behind the deli counter was wearing a tee shirt that said, "Only God can judge me." I smiled and told him how much I loved it. At the same time, I understood the hidden meaning and felt sad that he felt the need to make that statement.
I do have faith that in time, hearts will soften. I also believe that the Senate will flip, most likely in 2020. The tide is turning, even if it doesn't always look that way.
I am just grateful that in 2018, we were able to turn the House blue. I was feeling a little down yesterday, so I replayed Adam Schiff's address to the Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee -- he spoke with such courage, clarity and conviction, that I actually felt cleansed. The truth will set us free.
I just heard that Barr will be working with Mueller on the redactions before the report is released. If that is true, I don't think that Mueller will want to divulge as much as we would like to hear. Mueller is considered an institutionalist, and would want to protect any ongoing investigations.
Just an FYI -- Adam Schiff is supposed to be interviewed on Rachel Maddow this evening.
deetoo,
Thanks for the heads up..I’m going to tune in.
About an hour ago they said on CNN that DT tweeted a bunch of stuff about the Democrats and how they won’t be happy regardless of what they hand over, so maybe they should just claim victory and say, No! Because they have a country to run!
A couple of hours ago it was reported that he was glad about handing the report over, not interested in any claims in executive privilege, he has nothing to hide, bla, bla bla...
That was a fast turn around even for a narcissist.
Regarding my Mueller dream of last weekend, the dream of people paying a “Mueller” tax. I came across a tweet from Joe Walsh on Twitter that relates to my dream. An hour ago, he said “The American people paid for the Mueller Report. The American people have a right to see it. Don't redact it. Release it. All of it. All 400 pages.” So when I think about it , the people have already paid for the Mueller report by our taxes. It is ours.
Brilliant. Funny, I was thinking last night that we own the report.
Bluebell, I was thinking this when I first read your dream. Someone else mentioned we paid for it too on a news channel.
Accordingly BB,in your vision Mueller was in line to pay that'tax' as well... so he must have intended for the report to be made public through the preeminent Congressional actions, or even the vicarious judicial systems that will continue to play a big part in the indictments.
It occurs to me that this might be the key to the "two boats" vision. One option is to release the full unredacted report, which will negate all of Trump's serious crimes that are being currently investigated by SDNY. (Hence the honest need for redaction.) This is the boat to safety. His other option is to release a heavily redacted version or not release at all. Seems safer in the short run, but will get leaked anyway and SDNY will eventually get him for even bigger things. That would be the leaky boat.
Just pointing out that yes, taxpayers paid for the Mueller investigation BUT it turned a hefty profit! All those millions Manafort had to surrender. I believe the profit margin is about $20 million.
