Barr statement: anticipates making principal conclusions public as soon as this weekend
― d'ILM for Murder (Hadrian VIII), Friday, March 22, 2019 4:20 PM
Barr: “I am reviewing that report and anticipate that I may be in a position to advise you of the Special Counsel’s principal conclusions as soon as this weekend.”
The "you" is Congressional leaders, not the public. I assume those congresspeople will drop some bombs and spin some spin, but Barr didn't say he was making anything public.

In other news which now seems entirely inconsequential, Lachlan Murdoch officially succeeded his pop as the head of Fox News this week. It remains to be seen whether that means a goddamn thing, but I'll take whatever slim chance there is that he sees the power he now wields and decides that he'd prefer to go down in history as maybe just a medium-grade POS rather than the hardcore + unalloyed variety favored by so many of late.

Not everyone is faced with the decision of whether to tap the brakes on a media outlet that's been actively leading the POTUS by the shorthairs towards his worst impulses or whether to say 'fuck it' and snap off the steering wheel as we hurtle towards the abyss. I can see where someone in that situation might ponder how their choices will be viewed in the future (either by subsequent generations or whichever intergalactic travellers happen upon the desiccated husk of what was once a life-giving world, depending).

Does the office of Special Counsel dissolve on the presentation of the report, think I heard a presenter say that this week.So does that mean that Mueller is totally through and anything else in the hands of the other law departments he's handed findings over to.
JUst read comment that Ecuador are expelling Assange from the embassy.
JUst keeping fingers crossed that something more comes of this and Barr can't get away with simply suppressing everything

Heads up: rumor has it Mueller is finishing his report and it will be filed within the next couple of months.

to state the obvious...no further fucking indictments? i understand why trump wouldn't be one of them - pointless because of the dumbass policy about not being able to indict a sitting president - but how the fuck did don jr get out of this? he even expected to be indicted, right?
― but i'm there are fuckups (Karl Malone), Saturday, 23 March 2019 00:10 (five years ago) link
i suppose it could always be something akin to option 4 on this marcy wheeler post?
4. No further indictment, but a report showing a great deal of evidence a conspiracy took place, with The Report explaining why (including Presidential prerogative on foreign policy) it can’t be indicted, with or without an accompanying HJC Road Map.

Nothing concrete means months and months of more bullshit. it will never end.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 23 March 2019 00:23 (five years ago) link
If the report is made public and it is damning, isn't it a massive boost for dems entering the elections? + Trump can be indicted as soon as he is out of office?
