If there's no collusion and no obstruction, and if the report was a total exoneration, and if putting Mueller on the stand would destroy the report once and for all by forcing him to answer questions about his agents found to be severely compromised by Democrats, why is Trump fighting so hard to stop all these things from happening?

My skepticism meter is way, way into the red. Not too long ago, I was of the mindset that a cursory look into obstruction should be carried out with everything else totally resolved and done with, but now I'm leaning strongly towards the notion that there are things in there that would be incredibly damning to Trump or his family members. He's engaged in the same sort of behavioral pattern that Nixon found himself in shortly before Howard Baker realized he was being played and the proverbial noose was fitted to Nixon's Presidency.

Call me a looney lib or launch into some off-the-handle diatribe about how covering up a crime that didn't happen is not a crime, as I'm sure most of you are already doing, but I think there's a lot more here than meets the eye. If this was a total exoneration of a report, why the efforts to make sure no one sees or asks questions about it?

This is the ultra troll job from POTUS to keep the dems cruising down this path until 2020, while he continues to fix the country Obama nearly destroyed.

TJ, all of the people asking to see the non-redacted copy of the report can in-fact see the non-redacted copy of the report in a SCIF. They don't want to see it. Why do you think they have already moved on to Trump's tax returns? You are better than this man. Don't fall for it.

Also, think about this for a minute. A good number of the house democrats are lawyers and couldn't even be trained by their staff lawyers to ask Barr the proper questions. These people wanted nothing to do with Barr the 2nd day of his testimony which is why they requested their staff interview him, knowing Barr would say no.

Truth is, Dems care more about eating KFC on the house floor than getting to the bottom of any "investigation"

Then release the report and let them look like idiots. If that report comes out in unaltered form (aside from anything pertinent to the ongoing SDNY investigation) and absolutely nothing about the substance of it is changed, Democrats have dug their own grave for 2020. If it isn't released, the doubts continue to mount and Trump's in deep dookie in a year if something damaging does come out of this. Unless there's something in there he absolutely does not want people seeing, there's no reason not to let CNN and MSNBC implode and take the Democratic Party with them.
