Mueller Backtracks On Presser, Tries To Clarify Matters In Joint Statement With Bill Barr

The referenced statement from DOJ's spokes people, for those that don't want to give them the clicks. Italics mine for clarification.

Kerri Kupec, spokeswoman for the Department of Justice and Peter Carr, spokesman for the Special Counsel's Office, released the following statement:

The Attorney General has previously stated that the Special Counsel repeatedly affirmed that he was not saying that but for the OLC (Office of Legal Counsel ) opinion, he would have found the President obstructed justice. The Special Counsel's report and his statement today made clear that the office concluded it would not reach a determination - one way or the other - about whether the President committed a crime. There is no conflict between these statements.

Mueller repeated brought the OLC up in his presser yesterday. And the MSM and Dems "pounced".

Will anyone in the MSM notice, report on or accept this?

and done defending Trump just because I like Hillary even less.

The only reason to root for the Trump side or the CorpoDems/Deep State side is to keep them at each others' throats until voters get so sick of the bickering they finally wise up to alternatives.

Anything else is just fighting the last war.

The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?

...that Trump had promised. Can't wait to see some transparency. As the saying goes: "When the tide goes out you find out who's been swimming naked."

But it's just no fun because there is nothing surprising anymore about how low any of these people are willing to go.

@Pluto's Republic

at the Conservative Treehouse this week, there are two very depressing articles, also by sundance, that seem to be preparing us for the Deep State covering everything and making everything un-prosecutable, just as Not Henry Kissinger said. In a sense, we are just like the Russiagate believers in Mueller, and just like the WMD skeptics believing in Fitzmas, faced with the unitary establishment power structure.

Here is the uplifting piece:

It's foolish to seek anything more than my own clarity

When I look at these guys, I realize the coverup is already in place. Who they are and what they've done will continue to be invisible to the American people.

Thanks for the links. I'll check that out.

Yeah, I'm pretty much just eating popcorn at this point. Remember when the weird cults used to hang out in Airports instead of in the newsrooms?

when the Hari Krishnas were given booths in the airport lobbies so they wouldn't wander around and harass people?

Also, what is your preferred brand of popcorn? Mine is getting a little long in the tooth.

@EdMass But then I wasn't really paying attention in the 80s when I went on planes. I do remember one of the fun times being that I actually got to ride on a smuggler plane once in Mexico. (In the event of nuclear war, I've got a little place on the Pacific Coast across the mountains from Oaxaca in mind...)

As far as popcorn goes, I usually use the microwave stuff but mix the kettle corn with movie theater. (No particular brand, it's all the same, really) That way each cuts the excesses of the other. Sweet but not overpowering, buttery but not heart attack inducing.

a microwave mix of popcorns. Must try that.

Reminds me of blending flavors of Jelly Belly jelly beans to achieve wonderful complex flavors. Strangely enough, I really like their popcorn flavor...
