I missed this till I just read this in Slate:
“Bill Barr, our attorney general, deserves the benefit of the doubt,” former FBI Director James Comey counseled in an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday. “Give him a chance to show us what he feels like he can’t show us. I have to imagine that … Mueller wrote the report with an eye toward it being public someday, so I can’t imagine a lot needs to be cut out of it. But let’s wait and see. The attorney general deserves that chance.”
James Comey should go get stuffed, he's got no credibility in this matter, he is a two-faced Republican hack whose conduct during the 2016 election, his obvious and clear sandbagging of Hillary Clinton, twice, should be enough to discredit his judgement from now on. His claim that his fellow Republican hack and a major figure in a major Republican cover-up, William Barr "deserves the benefit of the doubt" as late as Tuesday is proof that this whole thing has been all too cosy all along.
If Robert Mueller doesn't publicly call for the release of his report to Congress, I'm going to start figuring that the reported close friendship between, not only him and his fellow Republican William Barr but The Muellers and the Barrs means more to him than American democracy.
This thing has all been way too cosy, way too predictable in so far as so many Republicans have staffed the FBI, the DoJ, and other such positions. I'm not willing to wait much longer before I will conclude that none of them are to be trusted. If Robert Mueller is holding back because of some absurd scruple of departmental tradition or habit, the time for that is long passed because Trump wasn't the first to do that, Comey smashed it before the election, several times as have others within the FBI, reportedly that was especially true in the New York City office. If Mueller wants to become part of that will soon be apparent. I'm not going to trust him if this goes on more than another day.
