I think you are saying you did not discern much reporting of actual information in the piece, it was a bunch of maybes and a few probablies.

Readers know how to write correctly. Poor writers are poor readers, and have opinions based on lesser ideas, from lesser sources, such as those with nefarious motives, Faux "News", for example, which is a huge source of utter garbage for millions of non-readers.

Tucker Carlson spews his poisonous ideas to non-readers, who haven't the understanding to determine that it's garbage. Sean Hannity, Rush Limblow, ditto. We're in a political crisis because of people who don't read, can't write, and are being led into voting utter morons to the presidency.

Limited information Barr has shared about Russia investigation frustrated some on Mueller’s team

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...96e_story.html

Quote:
...members of Mueller’s team have complained to close associates that the evidence they gathered on obstruction was alarming and significant.

“It was much more acute than Barr suggested,” said one person, who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the subject’s sensitivity.


Summaries were prepared for different sections of the report, with a view that they could made public, the official said.

The report was prepared “so that the front matter from each section could have been released immediately — or very quickly,” the official said. “It was done in a way that minimum redactions, if any, would have been necessary, and the work would have spoken for itself.”

...

Mueller’s team assumed the information was going to be made available to the public, the official said, “and so they prepared their summaries to be shared in their own words — and not in the attorney general’s summary of their work, as turned out to be the case.”

Barr overstepped his authority and undermined the integrity of the Mueller investigation

https://www-m.cnn.com/2019/04/02/opi...gation-zeldin/

Quote:
The appropriate course of action would have been for Barr not to have made a determination about whether Trump could or would be prosecuted for obstruction.

Instead, Barr should have transmitted Mueller's full report to Congress for Congress to consider the next step -- whether the evidence that Mueller assembled may be worthy of evaluation in a potential impeachment investigation. Lack of a determination of criminal liability does not resolve the question whether the President's conduct and intentions constituted an impeachable abuse of the powers of his office.

I was able to infer Don's point as apparently you were. The article was rehash pure and simple. I see your post as a weak defense of an uncalled for insult.

The plot just thickened on William Barr and the Mueller report

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...ueller-report/

A far more insightful analysis of the “rehash” article. For those who actually bothered to read and understand it.

Sorry, Trump fans, but here on Planet Earth, Devin Nunes is no hero
By Max Boot
Columnist

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...es-is-no-hero/

Quote:
We have reached peak stupidity since special counsel Robert S. Mueller III completed his investigation without recommending any criminal charges against President Trump or any additional criminal charges — beyond all of the indictments and convictions he has already secured — against Trump’s aides. Of course, Mueller couldn’t indict the president even if he wanted to. But the president and his amen chorus are using this as an opportunity to pillory Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.), the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, while praising his predecessor, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), now the ranking minority member. It’s as if Inspector Clouseau were getting promoted while Lieutenant Columbo was getting fired

Tucker is correct in his main argument. We are fixated on Russia while other burning social and economic issues go unattended. That there is a powerful constituency on both sides of the aisle, which loves war and boots forever on every ground.

That the Democrats are consumed with identity politics.

You claim you are this grand reader, but ever so often promote such f class articles.

Tucker's only motivation is to make huge amounts of money off of validating the "ideas" of fools. When Faux "News" starts winning Pulitzers for their reporting, I'll begin to take them seriously. Until then, I'll stick to getting my news from legitimate sources like the NYT and WaPo, which I happily subscribe to.

One group that wouldn’t be surprised if Barr undersold Mueller’s findings: Most Americans

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...ost-americans/

Polls show that only Republicans are foolish enough to believe Barr isn’t whitewashing Mueller’s report.
