They couldn’t take it anymore.  So now some members of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s otherwise “leak-proof” team are starting to talk.

According to The New York Times, a few of Mueller’s investigators have said Attorney General William Barr’s summary of their report did not sufficiently jibe with the results of their investigation, suggesting their findings could be more damaging to Trump than Barr conveyed,

Of course this comes as no surprise.  Trump’s handpicked AG was always going to spin Mueller’s report in the most positive light, i.e. creating the impression it cleared his boss.

Yesterday, the House Judiciary Committee authorized Chairman Jerry Nadler to issue a subpoena for the full Mueller report along with all the underlying documents.

Although we may be in for a long court fight, the law is on the side of the Democrats.

The full report will eventually make its way to Nadler, if not the general public.

And if Barr’s 4-page summary was so off the mark that it can be shown he intentionally misrepresented the facts contained in the Mueller report, he may have a John Mitchell problem.

John Mitchell was Richard Nixon’s Attorney General who did his best to cover-up his boss’s crimes.

For his efforts, Mitchell was found guilty of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury and sentenced to two and a half to eight years in prison for his role in the Watergate break-in and cover-up.

Could Barr be so loyal… so dumb?

As Mary Anne Marsh, a Democratic political analyst, recently wrote in an article on FoxNews.com (of all places), “And if they continue to stonewall, then Trump and Barr will face the consequences rendered by the American people and history…just like Nixon and Mitchell.”

It is becoming increasingly clear that Trump and his Republican enablers are suffering from a bad case of premature exultation.
