I have to admit, this one has me stumped.

Biden's DOJ appeals order to release full memo on why Trump wasn't charged with obstruction

The Justice Department is partially appealing an order to publicly release a pivotal 2019 memo about whether then-President Donald Trump obstructed the Russia investigation.

The only thing I can think of is that it has information in it that makes people still at the DOJ look very bad. For neither Barr nor Garland to want this thing to see the light of day is really confusing. Usually, it's one way or the other.

Especially in light of the absolute blasting Judge Jackson gave the DOJ lawyers in her ruling, it begs the question what the actual hell is in a 9 page document that could be so damning for someone.

I'm wondering if there's a suspected mole in the DOJ.

I'm wondering if they're actually protecting Mueller for some reason.

Russian retaliation?

Biden is covering everything up is what it is. He wants to be the center of attention and go out being remembered as the second coming of FDR. He can't do that if all the attention is going to Trump, the Russian investigation, January 6th, congressional investigations and all that shit.

He's doing exactly what the republicans want. He's buying it and moving on.

Hadn't considered that. It is quite possible there are people named who are still "in the game" and they want to keep a lid on it.

Also possible, however unlikely.

They're covering each others ass is what it boils down to. They're all so goddamned corrupt they don't dare release anything.
