When I look at entire set of facts since Friday pm I'm starting to think Barr is now just buying time. There are likely too many witnesses who know what's in the #MuellerReport to lie for long. A couple of weeks, tops. Eventually he'll have to let a a judge view it in camera.

And Mueller is watching all this. Is he willing to have his good name dragged though a cover up? I think that is unlikely. So what's Barr's plan?

Delay. Something else is going to change the board soon. Reporting from the DC court says April 15 may have some significance.

That's about how long Barr can likely stall. @SpeakerPelosi isn't going to shift focus from legislation to impeachment. She's right. But the base will be howling if a week passes with nothing produced. @RepJerryNadler will have to go to court. Fed judge will get it in camera.

Plus we forget that federal judges preside over the grand juries. Barr has many eyes on him. When he did his bag work for Bush41 he was able to operate in relative secrecy. He's under the bright lights now. And this is the Russians. Former CIA agent helping them gets noticed.

If the report starts leaking it could start effecting markets. Another reason to both conceal and disclose. But the Kochs may have a lot of positions to adjust. Two weeks might be just the ticket.
