pol-adjacent, mildly ranty
Seeing headlines run this morning confusing Barr’s letter as total exoneration, which... it... doesn’t... say? It’s as charitable a read of a document we haven’t yet seen as possible, and its purpose was to set a preferred narrative.
Not that the distinction between “no evidence” and “not enough evidence to prosecute matters”, or knowing where things fall between them matters to the health of democracy, or anything. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Goldkin not to mention the letter -literally- saying it's not an exoneration
these people don't know what "exoneration" means, huh?
re: pol-adjacent, mildly ranty
@tastymochafox I think it’s that they’re trying to set this narrative to get ahead of what comes next? That’s my interpretation, anyway.

The social media presidency has been a valuable lesson in how lies are laundered and sold as truths to orgs that otherwise know better.
