He's awfully charitable to the guy who tweeted a picture of him in a jail cell.

Comey called Rosenstein a "survivor", and it wasn't a compliment.


It wouldnt surprise me if Rosenstein was secretly mocking and criticizing Trump in his resignation letter.

"I am grateful for [...] the humor you displayed in our conversations"
the various instances where he is sucking up to Trump in almost comically exaggerated fashion
the repeated calls for the rule of law and an unpoliticized law enforcement

All seems kinda fishy to me, coming from Rosenstein.

Mueller complained that Barr’s letter did not capture ‘context’ of Trump probe

When Barr pressed him whether he thought Barr’s letter was inaccurate, Mueller said he did not, but felt that the media coverage of the letter was misinterpreting the investigation, officials said.

In that call, Mueller said he was concerned that news coverage of the obstruction investigation was misguided and creating public misunderstandings about the office’s work, according to Justice Department officials.

“After the Attorney General received Special Counsel Mueller’s letter, he called him to discuss it,” a Justice Department spokeswoman said Tuesday. “In a cordial and professional conversation, the Special Counsel emphasized that nothing in the Attorney General’s March 24 letter was inaccurate or misleading. But, he expressed frustration over the lack of context and the resulting media coverage regarding the Special Counsel’s obstruction analysis. They then discussed whether additional context from the report would be helpful and could be quickly released.

Robert Costa from WaPo reports that there is talk among many democrats in Congress of impeaching Barr over the way in which he has mislead Congress and the country over the Mueller Report...

Mueller has written a letter objecting to Barr’s summary of his report because it “did not fully capture the context, nature and substance of the investigation.” I have demanded the letter & Barr must answer for this. Mueller must be allowed to testify.


Jesus tittyfucking christ.

The letter itself, and almost every sentence in the article, points out that Mueller said Barr's summary was accurate and its the media that is misrepresenting the story. Which they were, and we had retards on TV who kept insisting that there was collusion or obstruction or that the special counsel would have found obstruction but for the OLC guidance. In fact, Sally fucking Yates is still saying that, even after the report is out and proved her wrong. And she's not even in the media, she's just a liberal quack.

So Mueller took issue with how the mainstream media was misrepresenting his report. And now the mainstream media is misrepresenting the fact that Mueller took issue with them misrepresenting the report, to make it look like Barr somehow lied.

You honestly believe Mueller's letter was sent because he thought CNN and MSNBC weren't representing his findings accurately?

You think Mueller believed those networks needed the summary of Trump's obstructive acts to finally believe he was totally exonerated?

What planet do you live on.

Please read the article people. It's not as damning as CNN says, but Goom's spin is bizarre.

After how he reacted to Buzzfeed? Yeah. But more than CNN and MSNBC, also Fox and the right wing.
As it says repeatedly in this article, Mueller kept telling Barr that the public was being misinformed by the media coverage. That came as the left wing media flooded in the insane contortions to pretend collusion/obstruction still were a go an the right wing tried to claim 'total exoneration', and we kept hearing nonsense about the 'but for the OLC guidance'- something we are still hearing. The media coverage of the report's release was a total shitshow every step of the way. Mueller thought it could be given more of the context to diffuse that web of disinformation if some of the summaries were released piecemeal ASAP, whereas Barr decided to just weather the storm for a few weeks until he released the whole thing in one go.

Barr certainly had the right idea. Unlike Mueller, he seems to have an understanding that there's no sating the media and any inch you give up is instantly going to be seized upon instead of reevaulating their own missteps. Right after Mueller contradicted buzzfeed like he's word of god writ upon stone tablets given on high, they doubled down and insisted their story was accurate anyway. Barr chose not to play dumb games and just let them squawk.
