Because...hmmm, some people he considers enemies have (in his mind) committed treason? Like the Whistleblower, perhaps, if his or her identity is revealed? #45's Presidency has revealed so many weaknesses in our system, because we just don't know how to cope with someone who has no respect for any of institutions and admires strongmen and wishes he could be just like them. So, let me applaud you for working through that document, something I have not done. Did Mueller do his job? Sadly, I think he did. He was complying with the DOJ directive and that was his respect for the directives he was given. It is we the people who failed the Report, waffling and waffling as we watched more and more open defiance by #45's administration. Just imagine if the Whistleblower never blew that whistle. Turning to his supporters, I know people who watch an alternate news universe and are brainwashed on a daily basis. And facts? They are "fake news".

I feel that if we all went into the investigation knowing that it would be "only a report" and that he never intended to go further than that, we all would have been less disappointed. For me, it is Barr who stopped the judicial wheel from turning. His hijinx in that teleconference were dispicable/criminal. Congress should have been able to take that report and run with it immediately. Still, with the way Trumo has gotten away with so much, I'm not sure as if there would have been any different ending. It's appalling watching our system fail before our eyes. Thhe only hope we have for true justice may have to come when the SDNY gets there shot after T. is no longer in office.
