And then here's this:Imagine if the Starr Report had been provided only to President Clinton's Attorney General, Janet Reno, who then read it privately and published a 4-page letter based on her private reading stating her conclusion that President Clinton committed no crimes.— Orin Kerr (@OrinKerr) March 27, 2019
Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said Tuesday that Attorney General William Barr told him he would send the special counsel Robert Mueller's final report on the Russia investigation to the White House before the public sees it, in case it wants to claim executive privilege over any parts.Do I need to as this?
President Trump golfed Sunday with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), former Rep. Ted Gowdy (R-S.C.) and acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney as the White House awaits the findings from special counsel Robert Mueller's recently submitted report.Now imagine if this was 20 years ago and the political roles were reversed.
What. The. Fuck.
Independent counsel vs Special counsel.

Let's see the whole Barrett report.

I suspect the Democrats and their allies in the media would have supported and defended "President Clinton's Attorney General, Janet Reno,...[reading the Starr Report]... privately and published a 4-page letter based on her private reading stating her conclusion that President Clinton committed no crimes.".
