Analysis: Reports the special counsel’s investigators disliked Trump’s victory lap seem intended to force their work into the open

As sure as the seasons turn, we all knew that Mueller’s people would wave the flag if Barr’s interpretation of their report contradicted their intent. Obviously it has, and all of the players are now scrambling to hit their marks, read their premeditated lines and prepare for the inevitable improvisational moments to come.

. It doesn’t take much speculation to credit the Mueller gang with executing a shrewd pincer movement—his people contesting Barr from one side while Congress presses in on the other.lowered both barrels on them in an appearance on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show on Wednesday night. “They’re a bunch of sneaky, unethical leakers,” Giuliani said. “I can’t tell you how much false information they leaked during the course of the investigation.

The implication that Mueller offered his multiple summaries like dots he intended the attorney general to draw lines between could not have been received warmly by Barr. Maybe Mueller thought he was just helping out an old friend with whom he has socialized for years.

All of the cast members now seem to have assumed their predestined role in the Mueller report drama. Barr has summarized in his boss’ favor. His boss has screamed exoneration. And the publicity-shy Mueller team has finally shown a little leg to the press. On Thursday afternoon, Barr’s office was counter-retaliating,

Victory lap? President Trump has said no collusion about 1000 times these last 2 years. An investigation in search of a crime failed so they should dislike that fact.

Trump's phony GOP lap-dance

His team is not playing anymore . Games over just like the election . But it’s like 2016 all over they are pulling the same stunts as Comey ,McCabe etc. so Trump called them names in public ! Wow ! Mueller runs the show not his hires paid by taxpayers. Give your salaries back !

Folks it is not over unless Hon Robert Mueller is thru. It is premature to celebrate.

It's like Groundhogs Day: If the public DOESN'T see the report we get 6 more weeks of gloating.

It was a dumb idea to prematurely close the investigation and then hand the report to trump's rubber stamp AG Cheese Barr.

Guys if you know someone anyone who has his tax return, let them know that I will take the 5. I would enjoy every day of it knowing that I was the biggest and best anti trumper.

The moment will come...!

Let Mueller retire, we’ve heard enough about him for 2.5 years!

Mueller’s team has been an exemplary tight lipped group. They gave Barr and trump two weeks to come close to their summaries, They didn’t. Drip drip.

🤣🤣🤣

Pilots of doomed Ethiopian Airlines 737 MAX jet followed Boeing procedures: reportPilots of the doomed Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 MAX followed emergency procedures specified by the maker, the Wall Street Journal reports. I was a technical writer for this company for years. Boeing is cheap. They laid off all the writers because they didn’t think they mattered. This plan crashed due to inadequate manuals and a crappy online course. A software patch won’t fix it.
