Democrats (and their pocket media) were absolutely furious when the Attorney General announced he would be holding a press conference about the release of the Mueller report. But, apart from the usual Democrat rage at pretty much everything, this is actually pretty instructive. At first glance it would seem like Democrats shouldn’t have cared that Barr would be holding a press conference announcing that the very thing they’ve been harping over for 2 years would finally be available, and yet suddenly this is the most outrageous thing ever! Why?
It seems to me that there is no other reason for the outrage than that Barr has forced the timing so that Democrats can do nothing while he plainly tells all of America that Mueller himself concluded there was no collusion – by any American, that Trump fully cooperated with the investigation and even by Mueller’s bizarre legal reasoning wasn’t obstructive, and that Buzzfeed’s Cohen story is a complete pack of lies. The left desperately wanted to continue telling this false narrative to the American people, and Barr has denied that chance.
I can understand the left’s desire that Trump get taken down for a crime that they believe he committed, even if it never really made any sense. But the outrage that they can’t cynically use a false narrative to try and pursue political power I find abhorrent and disgusting.
