I tried to see if I could confirm both the 700 page estimate of the length of the Mueller report and the 2 million page estimate of the volume of raw evidence that Judge Napolitano repeatedly offers in his comments here.

"We'll decline to comment, thanks," Peter Carr says.



Appearing on Fox Business Network’s Cavuto Coast to Coast Wednesday, Napolitano attempted to explain exactly where Schiff was coming from by getting inside his “head.”

“We saw on Sunday a four-page summary of a 700-page report,” the Fox analyst said. “The 700-page report is a summary of two million pages of documents, of raw evidence.

He continued: “In the 700-page summary of the two million pages of raw evidence, there is undoubtedly some evidence of a conspiracy and some evidence of obstruction of justice, just not enough evidence—I’m thinking the way I believe Congressman Schiff is thinking—according to Attorney General Barr, not enough evidence to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, which is the standard.”

Napolitano went on to note that if “there were no evidence of conspiracy and no evidence of obstruction, the attorney general would have told us so,” adding that Barr didn’t, so “there is something there” that Democrats and Trump opponents want to see. And they’ll have a “field day” with it.

1. How would Napolitano know since it hasn't been released yet.

Someone has some 'splainin to do if it was leaked to Napolitano and yet Congress still hasn't received it.

2. He could just be throwing out round numbers.

On the other hand , I wouldn't be surprised if somebody leaked to him, either>

to murdoch.

3. See, I think Barr's entire response is based around loose interpretations of wording...

Just as Napolitano says here, there is tons of evidence...just not enough for an indictment of the President, which, they don't believe a President can be indicted anyways so no matter how much evidence there is it wouldn't be enough for something to happen that Barr doesn't believe should happen.

That doesn't mean there isn't enough evidence to impeach, which is a completely different question, than if there is enough for him to be criminally charged.

5. And how the heck did Barr read the 700 page report

in one day? And then have time to write his "report"? This isn't like roaring through a captivating novel.

He can't have looked at any of the underlying evidence either.

OMFG This sucks.

6. He just asked his good buddy Mueller

7. Maybe over coffee after church.

Or cocktails with "the wife".

Then the task is a simple one. Reminds me of an old computer expression. On a blank disk you can seek forever.

8. That's a lot of pages just to say there's nothing to see.

13. That's right. 700 pages of nothing and 2 million pages of no evidence.

14. 700 pages to say "I got nuthin'"

English teacher's comments on the 700-page essay that says "I got nuthin": This is very wordy.
