Joy Reid on Mueller Report She Hasn’t Even Seen: “Feels Like the Seeds of a Cover-Up Are Here”
“this investigation takes place within the Justice Department, which Donald Trump essentially controls”
The folks at MSNBC are not taking the end of the Mueller Investigation very well. On Saturday morning, Joy Reid suggested that the conclusion of the report felt like the seeds of a cover-up.
We don’t know yet what’s in the Mueller report. No one at MSNBC knows yet what’s in the Mueller report. They’re just terrified that it might vindicate Trump.

Joy Reid: ‘It Feels Like the Seeds of a Cover-Up Are Here’
On MSNBC this morning, Joy Reid talked with her panel about what Attorney General Bill Barr will ultimately do now that he’s reviewing the full Mueller report, even suggesting possible “seeds of a cover-up.”
In a segment first flagged by The Nation‘s Aaron Maté, Reid asked if there’s “any reason to have any confidence in William Barr here.”
Former Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman said, “So far so good. The letter says all the right things, and he’s really adhered to the letter of the regulations, which is good.”
Right now, he added, all they can do is wait and see, but he’s encouraged so far.
This is what Reid said:
“The fact that this investigation takes place within the Justice Department, which Donald Trump essentially controls, and that he got rid of the problem, Jeff Sessions, who––the one decent thing that he did was just recuse himself. This guy is not recused. It feels like the seeds of a cover-up are here.”

Good grief. Is her still-at-large ‘hacker’ writing her scripts now? https://t.co/QusxpQlI1C

I knew it. Mueller is the hero Dems have on their altars… until they don’t get what they want then they turn against him because “it’s a cover up”. So predictable.

If this is a seed then the Clinton/Lynch coordinations was a redwood. https://t.co/duLlvSXEfQ

Watching a procession of MSNBC voices downplay the Mueller probe or double-down on the conspiracy theory, I’m realizing that a “moving the goalpost” .gif doesn’t cut it. Anyone got a .gif where an entire stadium is uprooted, loaded onto a spaceship, & moved to a different galaxy?

“Facts” are passe. “Feel” is where it’s at.
Out: Mueller is a good and fair man and he’s going to make sure that Trump and his minions are prosecuted!
In: Mueller is a traitor who betrayed us all!
She seems to be stupid enough to believe what she’s saying. It’s also possible that she’s just pandering to the audience.
Either way, she should be ignored.

Embrace the healing power of “and,” irv. 😀
There’s obviously no Joy in Mudville today.
But there is a lot of mud in Joyville.
If HRC, Obama, Schiff, Page, Strozk, Comey and Brennen aren’t under indictment there probably is a cover up….
Where’s Jack Bower when you need him ? (Usurped by Raymond Reddington, I’m afraid…)
The most recent network “plausible deniability cover-up show” is The Enemy Within, which held my attention for only 1.5 episodes, and it would have been 0.5 w/o Jennifer Carpenter (Dexter’s sister).
You are down to cult followers on MSNBC and CNN who lie members of cults will accept ANY excuse versus the alternative that their faith is based on a lie.
She just has to throw out there that the report can be ignored or is proof of the opposite and now the lack of evidence shows that there is a cover-up and the Cult moves on.
Time for the rest of us to start calling this Cult BTW because that is what it is.
Thank God Mueller isn’t gay! Joy would have a hard time not calling him a gay traitor!
Whether Joy Reid is simply another Kool-aid drinker or in on the scam is unknown. However, people have to understand the true purpose of the Mueller SC investigation.
The Mueller investigation was never supposed to Get Trump. If there was any evidence that trump committed a crime, then Mueller’s team would surely have presented it to a grand jury or the House. But, there was nothing there. And, as Strouk, et al, were part of the Mueller team, Mueller, et al, knew this. That is why they went after process crimes and “crimes” allegedly committed by Russian nationals who were outside the country and unlikely to return for trial. The one case against a Russian defendant, who mounted a defense, has apparently fallen into a judicial black hole never to be spoken of again. All of this was done to give not only some legitimacy to the investigation, but to satisfy the real purpose of the operation, the protection of Obama Administration officials, who had committed criminal acts, criminal prosecution.
But, the Mueller investigation was always going to be a short term solution. Investigating nothing can only be dragged out so long. And, the investigation actually put the team at risk, as they were engaged in an illegal investigation, of which several of them had intimate knowledge of the lack of evidence. So, to avoid further exposure of the culpability of the Obama DOJ and Mueller team members, it is time to fold the Mueller tent and leave town. The ongoing “investigations” of Trump, and his associates, will be taken over by the newly elected Democrat House and by the DOJ’s SDNY office. And, one of the things necessary to justify all of the coming “investigations” is a denial that there is no evidence of Trump/Russia collusion. The bulk of the American people will condone an investigation into the President working with or for a foreign power against the interests of the USA. But, they are not going to condone never ending investigations into the POSSIBILITY that he, or his associates, MAY have committed some criminal act sometime in his life.
So, the Mueller report has to be in error or a cover-up, unless Mueller somehow presents some evidence that Trump worked with a foreign power against the interests of the US in order to justify continuing investigating Trump. After all, the criminals in the Obama Administration and the Clinton operations still need protection.
The left sucks.
Or big-pharma has turned them all delusional and/or psychotic. Consider all the psychotropic (and other) meds that are being produced/consumed. Maybe we’re seeing mass drug-induced stupidity.
And the left sucks.
Maybe the time travelers who hacked Joy’s Twitter account in the past hacked into Muller’s documents and forced him to not bring forward any more indictment.
The D’rats are having such a wonderful time tunneling into the insane asylum. If the Mueller report shows DJT to be as squeaky clean as I suspect it will, I can see some advantages to Barr delaying its release to Congress. That would let the D’rats inflate another hot-air balloon, this time filled with “cover-up” instead of “collusion” and “obstruction”. Then the report can be released, puncturing and collapsing that balloon too.
Maybe a bit later. Like just before the next election.
“The fact that this investigation takes place within the Justice Department, which Donald Trump essentially controls, …”
What was Mueller’s title for this investigation? Something like Special Counsel? And aren’t Special Counsel “Special” because they are independent?
I don’t believe Joy is an idiot: I think she is dishonest.
embrace the power of “and”…
alternatively, “Joy is a dishonest idiot.”
Translation of the ignorant leftist Joy(less): I don’t like the results which do not reflect my view, so it is a cover up.
Meanwhile what has been exposed is the massive coverup by Obama officials of multiple crimes for which they still are not charged with anything. The CIA, the FBI, the IRS all compromised by the Obamanation for political purposes. Hell, Obama makes the Clintons look like Boy Scouts.
Joy Reid is calling it a “coverup” (never mind most of the lawyers were Democrats with strong Democratic connections, including the Clinton Foundation).
It would be great to say to her “Joy, you’re right about the cover-up, but you’re projecting again. Do you really want a committee digging and finding out about ALL of the secret ways Hillary and the rest of the Democrats tried to remove a sitting president, who committed no crimes from office, only for them to find out that the DOJ and FBI are so politicized that they need to be completely replaced? You’re giving Trump an excuse to drain those two swamps and many others (IRS, CIA, the State Department, etc.). How many of those bloated, politicized agencies do you think he can destroy and replace in his remaining 6 years in office?”
And I would Tweet it, if I were on ANY social media, but I left that swamp a while back.
The ignorance of these sophomoric FOOLS just oozes out of their gabs or maybe its just their STUPIDITY? You know you can correct one?
The cover-up was to charge Trump with Treason so no one would look at the Treason of Obama, Clinton, Holder, and Associates.
