What do we know of situations where the narcissist wins? Many have spoken of what happens when one is backed into a corner, but what to expect now that he has won? Just how low is he going to take us all? We can argue over whether he has truly won or if it will continue, but what has happened over the last number of days is a definite win. Will he be content with doing a victory dance or can we expect him to continue attacks and/or possibly seek revenge upon those he hates?

My best guess is that he won't let it go, and he's going to lash out in any way he can against everyone who was part of Mueller's investigation, including Mueller. I also predict a whole lot of WTF moments on Twitter.

Mueller’s report is more than 300 pages, attorney general tells top Democrat

Attorney General William P. Barr confirmed the report’s length during a Wednesday phone call with House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.). During that conversation, Barr indicated that the Justice Department would miss House Democrats’ April 2 deadline to provide Congress with Mueller’s complete findings and would not commit to making public an unredacted copy of the report and the evidence that informed it, Nadler told reporters after the phone call.

Is this the same report he was able to fully read, digest, and write a four-page summary on in less than 48 hours? And he can't meet Congress's deadline which is five days away?

Yep. The same one. Apparently Mr Barr is one hell of a speed reader.

I keep wondering why he remains so silent.

(a) Just because the investigation is over, doesn't mean the *prosecutions* are done. For example, Roger Stone's trial won't be until later this year, and the grand jury in DC is still sitting. Mueller is busy handing off the cases to multiple other offices - permanent Justice Department ones. Once he is finished with the handoff, he can resign as Special Prosecutor, and will be free to talk without consequence, such as the expected Congressional appearances.

(b) The more Barr and Trump try to hide the report, the louder the cries will be to release it. By staying silent, he gives Republicans no evidence he's being partisan. They already accuse the investigation of being partisan, but there is basically no evidence of such, and most people know that.

I have wondered whether Mueller wrote a summary so as to make it easier for Barr to write his summary and distract Trump.

Barr and Rosenstein knew the trajectory of the investigation weeks in advance, surely. So Barr probably pre-wrote this.

She's conceding on Mueller's report way too quickly.

She's conceding on Mueller's report way too quickly.

No kidding. It hasn't even been seen yet by anyone incorruptible. We are our own worst enemies sometimes.

 

[Cristalle]

She's conceding on Mueller's report way too quickly.

Carter Page's continued freedom should have been the indicator that there was no collusion. That said, she is right - they should pass her bill. We need paper ballots.

Schiff apparently received an outpouring of thanks and support from social media after his infamous speech went viral. Those who underestimate him do so at their own peril.

Part of why I'm dying to see the report is because I bet it says that he definitely did collude and obstruct justice, but can't be charged because they couldn't prove intent. Those crimes require intent.

There is a lot of room for the report to be extremely embarrassing to him even without recommending charges.

So who thinks there is not something bad in the report if they are trying so hard to hide it against all precedent? Plus if it were good for donnie you just KNOW he would have been sending it out 280 characters at a time.

 

[Kara Spengler]

And now they are sending the Mueller report to the freaking White House so it can be redacted! And then they may send that worthless thing to Congress.

Not just the usual national security stuff (although Mueller probably put that in a classified appendix anyway). Given their latest list of what they can redact they can make a case for pretty much anything.

Something along the lines of, "You might as well try to prove a drunken Guineafowl's intent because his intellectual powers fall short of that addled creature's. With apologies to Guineafowl."

I googled the Starr report, and it looks like *Congress* decided to release it to the public within days.

Not only did they release it, they published it!

Unedited. Complete. One of the bestselling books of 1998. But who wants to pay for that now? Well...

(I was working for an ISP in Massachusetts at the time, and we, along with a lot of other service providers at the time, decided to host the report on our site to help cut down on the traffic and avoid the expected internet traffic jams. Remember dial-up?)
