... doesn't mean Mueller's report doesn't contain a ton of damaging information. Again, it can't be stressed enough that Barr is doing what he was hired to do, and the fact that they continue to try and bury this report is further evidence that there's damaging stuff within it. Yesterday changes nothing IMO, despite the hysteria in the media.

I don't think this is true necessarily. I think that all it takes is public pressure to MAKE them act right. You're right they won't do the right thing on their own, ever. But in the past they've been swayed by their constituents and that's why getting the gritty details of the report is so important, so the public will be swayed enough to put that pressure on them.

I mean I get what you're saying I just don't think it's necessarily that hopeless.
