Both the Washington Post and the New York Times are reporting what US Person already assumed to be true: the Mueller Report is much more damaging than Attorney General William Barr misleadingly told the public in his meager "summary" of Mueller's report findings. Some of the investigators in Mueller's office say that Barr's four page letter to Congress does not accurately portray their findings. They say that the evidence gathered on the obstruction charge was alarming and significant. In a preview of the fight to come, a source said that every page of the 400+ page report was marked with a notation indicating redaction was needed to protect privileged information. Predictably, Individual I's current mouthpiece, Rudy 'Gouliani' said the information about the inaccuracy of Barr's letter was coming from "disgrunted" staffers whom he labelled, "sneaky, unethical leakers". House Judiciary Chairman Nadler said he would wait to see what Barr releases in the coming days before issuing the committee's subpoena for the ENTIRE report.
On another front, House Ways & Means Chairman Richard Neal requested six years of Trump's tax returns on Wednesday. The rogue billionaire bucked a half century of tradition by refusing to release his tax returns before he took public office. Individual I is under state investigation for dubious tax avoidance schemes that allowed him to receive $413 million from his parents tax free. Earlier the New York Times performed an exhaustive analysis of available records, exposing numerous tax dodges used by his father's real estate empire dating to the 1990's which benefited Trump. Chairman Neal was criticized by progressive Democrats for being slow to issue the historic request for tax records. Neal gave the IRS until April 10th to comply with his request.
