Hmmm, a redacted report will be released.
It will be interesting to see how much is actually left to read, out of 400 pages.
My guess, less than 10 pages. Barr will insist the rest is a state secret.
Sooner or later, the whole thing will get out. Might not be until after Trump is history, but at least, historians will be able to include it in their books when they write about this shitty president and his accomplices.

I don't know why. I'm sure Barr and his sharpie has carefully obscured all the criminal bits.

Rather than speculate, I'd suggest we wait until the document is released and discuss the actual contents. Seems like that would result in a more meaningful discussion.

It's important to get all the spin out there in advance, especially if you know things are going to look bad for the president.
Gotta keep control of the message....

When the whole report without redactions and with supporting documentation is released to congress, then I will consider it released.

I agree with oped. Until the complete report is made public, the "spin" will reflect an advantage to the Republicans, who are currently the party in power. Since my tax dollars paid for the investigation, I want to see the entire report. The good, the bad, AND the ugly.

That thing was supposedly going to be released within a week of its submittal.
Unredacted to Congress and a lightly redacted version (if, and only if, needed) to the rest of the country is the only thing I would consider a release of the report

It was never to be released within a week of it's submittal. That was democrats playing politics demanding it be released. They full well knew it had to be redacted before coming to Congress. Now tell me what important legislation the democrats have passed in their first 100 days. Every new Congress is graded on what they produce in the first 100 days.

... Now tell me what important legislation the democrats have passed in their first 100 days. Every new Congress is graded on what they produce in the first 100 days. House Democrats passed their first signature legislation Friday, a wide-ranging bill that aims to protect voters' rights, reform campaign finance, reduce gerrymandering, and increase accountability of public officials.
But H.R. 1, the "For the People Act," is dead on arrival in the Senate, and President Donald Trump has already threatened to veto it. Still, the bill, which passed the House 239-186, is a major priority for freshman Democrats, many of whom campaigned on these issues. link Now tell me what important legislation the Republicans have passed in their first 100 days.

The only legislation Republicans ever pass is tax cuts. They have no intention of doing anything over the next couple years. The main goal is trying to keep President Trump from bringing up issues.

The made goal of the GOPers in congress is to pray Trump stays away from the issues that would be a death sentence for the GOPers, like obliterating Obamacare.
Which is why the GOpers revolted and kicked Obamacare down the road to post 2020, when Trump will reveal his magical new 'low cost, excellent care' medical program.

You would think trump would want his "magical new 'low cost, excellent care' medical program" passed well before the election. With its passage, trump could win the popular vote in all 50 states and the entire electoral college.

So the WH staffers are sweating it out on the Mueller report because, even if their names are redacted from the Mueller report, if Trump had a 1 on 1 conversation with them and said something in the report, Trump will know who squealed on him to Mueller. www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/white-house-officials-concerned-about-being-exposed-by-mueller-report/ar-BBVZ9xx
I'd say they have every reason to be freaking out. Even if they can't be specifically identified in the report, Trump will probably still lash out at a bunch of them, because that's how he responds to bad news.
Must be like working next to a volcano, you never know when he'll explode and who he'll take out when he does it.

Actually bills, I made more money this year, I did pay in more with holding, Even though I made more money, I would have only need to with hold 3 quarter, of the predicted amount. I made more and in the end paid less in taxes.

I thought thought that because I had made more, I with held the amount of five Quarters, based on 2017 taxes. Because the amount of my refund, I would have only needed to with hold three quarters, even though I made more money. What is B.S. about that??

Many people thought the new tax plan (cuts?) was the reason they got more in their check. They didn't know about the new withholding tables and filing deduction changes, made no withholding adjustments and were hit with owing money.

I will. It is as far as I know the first major tax cut in history that had a net unfavorable rating from voters, and even some previous tax increases were more popular than this plan. How should that even be possible?

Ok, Since I made more, I thought, I would be paying more, based on the with holding guide line my CPA, estimated from the amount paid in 2017. Thinking that I need to pay more in I with held the estimated amount of 5 quarters,,
When taxes for 2018 came in, I owed what was three quarters of the estimated 2017 taxes, I got back the about two of the five I paid in. I try not to loan the government my money.
Have I confused you enough?

your CPA should post an analysis with your return that shows your net effective rate paid this year -vs- last year.
what did that show?
between the two of us, that is all that matters. all of the rest of this is meaningless blather.
