New Attorney General Barr Ending Mueller Investigation ‘By Next Week’
There’s a new Sheriff in town, and he isn’t wasting any time asserting his authority.
Liberals were stunned and furious Wednesday by reports that
newly-confirmed Attorney General William Barr is prepared to announce an end to the Mueller investigation.
And the
announcement could come as early as next week CNN reported.

Liberals are also going to be disappointed when it's disclosed that there is no "Russian collusion" between President Trump and Russia. This "investigation" was nothing more than a waste of my (our) tax payer dollars.
Better question is, does the report get released if there is no collusion found? I predict it doesn't, and there is a slow leak of information from the report still giving the media something to chew on and keep the narrative alive.
It is also interesting that Adam Schiff said they are doing their own Russia investigation because the special council investigation wasn't good enough. That is bad politics right there considering how bad Schiff has looked in all this.
They only need 2 more years to prove it!

There is no doubt there was collusion, the only questions are if there was quid pro quo and if Trump was aware and complicit.

If the report isn't released, it will be Barr...well...barring its release.

You're overthinking this.
The report is unlikely to be released either way.
It's mostly up to Barr if it will be released and he has no incentive to do it. Trump's associates have already admitted to many bad things thru guilty pleas and plea bargains. The best case scenario is that the report only details the trail of evidence that led them to get those guilty pleas. Which is still a really negative news cycle for Trump. And of course the worst case scenario is that the report presents strong evidence, beyond hearsay, that Trump knew about what those guys were doing and directed them to do it. Trump's team will be trying to delay in any case.
That said, Adam Schiff has subpoena powers now. He will get either Mueller himself or enough of his team to testify. It will probably be behind closed doors, and it will amount to them recreating the report there in the House Committee Chambers. If they immediately come up with a smoking gun, like an email from Trump directing Flynn to set up a back channel of communication to Russia to facilitate further condominium sales, Schiff would go public with that immediately. He'd present articles of impeachment. If not, you would see Schiff basically behave the same way Trey Gowdy did from 2013 to 2016 The way Gowdy investigated Benghazi over and over, holding one press conference after another, insisting that there's more to investigate, he'd do the same with Trump Tower Moscow. It's not right of course, but it is fair, in the sense that all turnabout is.

20 year old tax evasion is totally on Donald Trump CPA LLC. He should've just used the standard deduction like everyone else.

Barr's incentive to release the report is that you and I deserve to see the outcome of what 40+ million of our tax dollars paid for. With the Senate Intel Committee uncovering zero evidence of collusion, I am pretty certain Mueller's report will be pretty benign.
As far as Benghazi, there probably was more to investigate and is simply a terrible comparison. To my knowledge, Trump didn't leave American troops to die like Hillary did.

And Reagan left 241 Americans unprotected in Beirut. They investigated Benghazi for about a year per victim. If that's the right thing to do in all cases, we can stop investigating the security failures leading up to the Beirut bombing in the year 2224.
With the Dems already hiring two prominent attorneys to conduct additional investigation into the Mueller report, you can bet a version will get released to the public. They are already taking steps to discredit finding and twist into dragging this out further. Trump will be under some type of investigation for as long as he is in office. There has been no hiding that. Every play in the resist book is being used....
Coordinated media blitz
Identity smear (racist, homophobe, etc.)
Violent protect
Bury him in in investigations
Delay every decision in court
Threaten impeachment
Spy and leak
Coup de’ etat
Invoke 25th
Sadly, there is only one other deranged play that remains and it would require one of the loons to be scapegoated. The political climate has become so charged that I no longer think it is so far fetched. (No I’m not going to specify as it is “ugly” and I’m sure most can figure it out)

You're going to hurt yourself with that kind of a stretch.

Why?
American military personnel dead because they were given inadequate protection and readiness in a country teeming with terrorists. Risks were vastly underestimated. What is the significant difference?

This is normally where you'd offer proof.
You can't be complicit in a non-crime, by the way.

Thirty five years of hindsight, experience and a changing political climate perhaps?
