    I'm not interested in this BLM/Trump cops/FBI thing. But, I am interested in this analysis that there is a correlation between low education and corruption. Because that doesn't smell right to me. I googled and found one study that showed a correlation between low educational attainment in a country and the amount of corruption -- but that's a bit different because it'd also include the education of corruption's victims who perhaps aren't equipped to better defend themselves. It is my personal experience and outlook that it is the people with high education and success that are likeliest to be corrupt because they feel like the common rules shouldn't apply to them or else they know how to game the system (like Trump, to keep this topical). Like in this random article: https://www.livescience.com/18683-rich-people-lie-cheat-study.html.

    I wonder if small town corruption is less/more/no difference than their bigger city counterparts with law enforcement.

    It’s funny... when I looked at this fake article meant to troll (and probably dump malware on my comp) I immediately thought how likely it was that this wouid actually be a real similar looking article that wouid later be coming out.

    Barr did what he did for politics and to give Trump a week at best of claiming his innocence. It speaks to Barr’s arrogance he thought he had the ability to just put the report in his desk and lock it away. Now instead of getting it all out at once like he should have done, get ready for weeks and weeks more of the Mueller report dominating the A block... now with Barr and the cover up being the headline. Guy came out of a retirement for this??

    I would think you would have learned by now you don’t know what you don’t know. And what we know as a fact is still a fact regardless of poltical spin.

    Just release the damn report. We need the facts. Not partisan spin which is all we got with the 4 page Barr summary of a 300+ page report that was supposed to be public facing.

    Trump trying to cover up his misdeeds by getting Barr to whitewash what happened and then stonewall on the release isn't going to work. You guys need to realize that this is making your guy look like the bad guy, not superman.

    Trying to understand. The investigation was started to find out if Trump colluded with Russia and after a 2 year investigation Barr states from the report there was no collusion. If there is no collusion then wtf did Barr cover up?
