If you pay any attention to the news, you know that from the moment the conclusions of the Mueller Report were issued by Attorney General Barr, the Democrats (and the media) called for the disclosure of the full, unredacted Report. It has been a steady drumbeat of demands. Jerry Nadler, the chair of a congressional committee even gave Barr ten days to turn over the unredacted report or face a subpoena for it. CBS News, however, wants to change that history and apparently thinks no one will notice.
Two days ago, the NY Times ran a story claiming that people who know members of Mueller's staff say that some of those staff members don't think that the Barr letter adequately summarizes the Mueller Report. To call that story weak, is one of the great understatements of all time. None of the members of the Mueller team was quoted, and according to the story, the reporter didn't even speak to any of those people. The whole story is supposedly based upon hearsay, it just reports what these members of the Mueller staff supposedly say to third parties. Despite the weakness of the report, however, the mainstream media ran with it as criticism of the Barr letter coming from Team Mueller. That was ridiculous enough, but now they are rewriting history to make the story fit their narrative better.
CBS News reported this morning that in response to the criticism of the Barr letter by the Mueller Team members, the House has now demanded the full unredacted report. Huh? Those demands came two weeks ago. They had nothing to do with an unsourced report in the Times, but CBS News is putting the two together.
I wonder if CBS News actually thinks that these kinds of games will work. The people who don't pay attention won't care about this report. The people who do pay attention will know that the report is Fake News. So who will be taken in? I guess that the true Trump haters will like this because it gives them something to say, but the only proper conclusion is that changing the facts to fit the narrative just doesn't work in a case like this.
