Barr explicitly states that his letter is a supplement to the notification he provided (as legally required) to Congress, that the Special Counsel investigation was complete. "Although my review is ongoing, I believe that it is in the public interest to describe the report and to summarize the...

I guess there's not much point in debating if you're going to completely dismiss the fact the Mueller DID provide 6e redactions.  I suppose the fact that they were provided on 25 Mar (3 days late), may have caused whatever delay you keep referring to.  Perhaps the redacted report would have been...

I'll read the article, thanks for the link. As a special counsel investigating Russian interference writ large, would it have been appropriate, or in the national interest, to curtail the investigation despite uncovering other crimes?

Very easy.  How hard is it to understand that under federal law, there is no requirement to do so?  I can quote it again, if you'd like. How hard is it to understand that Mueller did in fact include 6e redactions on 25 Mar, as indicated in his letter, despite the fact that he had no legal...

Nope.  Re-read your original accusation against Mueller.  How can the above be a complaint about a delayed report, when the SC staff is actively helping to review said report for release?  Attributing any delay to Mueller is patently false. Mueller is advocating the release of materials related...

I think your quarrel is with Comey, Sessions, and Rosenstein.  Mueller followed the rules.

Registered does not equate donor.  Does donating indicate a more extreme degree of partisanship?  Am I more likely to shirk my oath of office because I donated to a party?  How do you define activist?  Bungled major prosecution seems like a reasonable disqualifier.

Point taken.  I suppose my whole point in this debate, is that I do believe that Mueller is a by-the-book straight arrow, and that a lot of the derision and accusations against him are unwarranted, regardless of how his investigation was born, or actions taken by other actors prior, during, or...

I'll agree with you here, to a point.  Mueller has acknowledged that a sitting president is immune from indictment.  Does the inclusion of that single sentence invalidate the investigation's work?  From that single sentence, can we infer that the processes of the investigation were flawed, or...

No.  But thanks for highlighting.  And I appreciate the link to Barr's testimony.  I will ask again, why would the Special Counsel redact his own report for release, when, under federal law, the authority to release is held by the AG.  If the AG decides to release it, then it is entirely up to...

I would argue that if there truly had been a concerted effort deep within government to falsely accuse, plant evidence, coerce testimony, knowingly prolong dubious investigations, then why wasn't the Mueller investigation much more damaging to Trump?  The fact remains that Mueller was given a...

I'll try a different format to reply this time - I apologize if it's not an improvement. Throughput legitimacy would be complimentary to input and output legitimacy.  It would apply to the process that occurs between input and output - the mechanics of the investigation and how the government...

Thanks for your response - there's a lot to cover here, so I'll try to keep it in order. Perceived input or output legitimacy aside, I would argue what really matters is throughput legitimacy.  What malpractice was committed in the process of the investigation?  If you think Mueller ought to...

What exactly is “appearance of partisan impropriety”?  The fact that a number of lawyers (13) on Mueller’s team are registered Democrats does not equate to them acting as political agents.  As you noted earlier, as the leader, the buck stops at Mueller, a registered Republican.  Choosing team...

Well, you allege that " 'mistakes' and abuses of process" were committed during their investigations, and I am asking for examples of Mueller's (and his team). To state that the Special Counsel (or his team) somehow erred and/ or committed an abuse of process by not ending or curtailing the...

Again I'll ask, can you provide any examples of previous dishonesty or abuse of process on Mueller's part? A quick look at his biography indicates that not only was he a decorated USMC Captain with service in Vietnam, he was also a US Attorney, Deputy AG, and FBI director under GW Bush and...

Honest question: what abuse of process is Mueller alleged to have committed? I understand he was designated as Special Prosecutor as a result of AG Sessions' recusal, and investigated within parameters given to him by the DOJ. It is also my understanding that other than the recent op-ed piece...

The BE350s referenced on the 8 Wing page belong to the Multi Engine Utility Flight. These are unrelated to the MAISR project / procurement.

While it is certainly true that Bombardier has divested itself of its commercial aircraft programs (C-Series, Q400, CRJ), it is still in the private/executive jet business, offering Challengers (350 and 650), Globals, and Learjet products.  So, airframes potentially suitable for military...

I found it very interesting that although the investigation has not yet determined the "why" of the accident, investigators have a reasonable understanding as to the "what".  I'll admit, I was surprised that Col Alexander's prepared statement went into the detail it did, regarding levels of...
