No. I want to see all the gory details because I'm sure there'll be some really spicy stuff in it.
But do I think Barr has misrepresented it materially? No. Do I think Ty or anyone else is warranted in thinking there will be facts in it on which indictments should have been brought? No.
Will there be enough to impeach? Perhaps. But this thread was about the media's misleading the public to believe an indictment was a foregone conclusion. (This includes print and TV and online media, because Ty is going to try to carev around the allegation by saying, "Maddow's a hack, but WaPo isn't.") The media led people to believe the odds were overwhelming that Trump or his kids or someone close to him would be found to have "colluded" with Russians in some way that led to indictments for such acts. They led people to conclude and anticipate, in both overt and indirect ways, that criminal action of some kind, at least against Don Jr, who admitted meeting with Russians, was coming.
Mueller left a trail of evidence like Jaworski did in Watergate. And the House may impeach. But impeachment here is dancing with your sister, because the Senate will never convict. What the Left wanted and needed was a criminal act. It got none of that. So what's it doing now? The media, and the Left, are crying, "It was never about that! It was about showing Trump is a scoundrel!" Or, "Barr is engaged in a conspiracy!"
This is a meltdown. The media soiled itself, and the people who bought its BS appear credulous.
So yeah, I want to see the full report, and I think there will be ugly stuff in it. But the difference between that stuff and what was promised by the media and hoped for by Trump haters will be the difference between, well, dancing with the hottest cheerleader on whom you have a huge crush and dancing with your sister.
(I know you're not in the Deep South or Appalachia, where that analogy might fail.)
