White House and Justice Dept. Officials Discussed Mueller Report Before Release
By Mark Mazzetti, Maggie Haberman, Nicholas Fandos and Katie Benner

WASHINGTON — Not all of Robert S. Mueller III’s findings will be news to President Trump when they are released Thursday morning.
Justice Department officials have had numerous conversations with White House lawyers about the conclusions made by Mr. Mueller, the special counsel, in recent days, according to people with knowledge of the discussions. The talks have aided the president’s legal team as it prepares a rebuttal to the report and strategizes for the coming public war over its findings.
A sense of paranoia is taking hold among some of Mr. Trump’s aides, some of whom fear his backlash more than the findings themselves, the people said. The report might make clear which of Mr. Trump’s current and former advisers spoke to the special counsel, how much they said and how much damage they did to the president — providing a kind of road map for retaliation.
The discussions between Justice Department officials and White House lawyers have also added to questions about the propriety of the decisions by Attorney General William P. Barr since he received Mr. Mueller’s findings late last month.
Mr. Barr and his deputy, Rod J. Rosenstein, determined that Mr. Trump did not illegally obstruct justice and said the special counsel found no conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia’s 2016 election interference. Mr. Barr told lawmakers that officials were “spying” on the Trump campaign, raised ominous historical parallels with the illegal surveillance of Vietnam War protesters and pointedly declined to rebut charges that Mr. Mueller’s investigators were engaged in a “witch hunt.”

“illegally obstruct justice”
ROFLOL
Alas, the Obama administration misled judges in their efforts to make their spying on Donald Trump legal. They had already spied before they ever had FISA approval. They make New England Patriot efforts to spy on their opponents look so silly.
“A sense of paranoia is taking hold among some of Mr. Trump’s aides, some of whom fear his backlash more than the findings themselves, the people said.”
Hahaha. If “the people” said it, it must be true. There is no better source than “the people.”
This article is totally meaningless.
Is this supposed to be news?

Talk about reaching. It’s pathetic that in 2019 America we have a Nazi and Soviet style propaganda media.

They all voted for Hillary Clinton, the crime Trump committed in their eyes was winning the election

Wise of you.
I interviewed Harlan Ellison and he said if you ever see a TV screenplay with 3 or 4 names as the writers it means a disaster or infighting controversy and the higherups had to get outsiders in to fix it or else drop the episode.
For the MSM they have to add a line Suzi Q. Smith and Wade Dimwit contributed to this story. As: don’t blame the top writer for this screwed up mess.
Wow. Pulitzer deep-dive material there, Maggie.
How did the intrepid Slimes reporters discover this nefarious plot to rebut the report?
Fishwrap.
