RawStory: Outrage grows after Giuliani's texts about his "counterreport" to Barr's Mueller Report

“How is Rudy Giuliani able to prepare a “counter report” to Mueller if he hasn’t read it?”
President Donald Trump‘s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani has been bragging about his “counterreport” to Attorney General William Barr‘s redacted version of Robert Mueller’s report, which is due to be released Thursday morning.

Politico reported:

LATE-NIGHT TEXTS FROM RUDY … President Donald Trump’s lawyer RUDY GIULIANI to our colleague DARREN SAMUELSOHN, 2:54 a.m., on the size of the president’s “countereport” — which will drop when the special counsel’s findings come out Thursday: “Now at 34 or 35. The more concise the better. 400 pages is a novel.”

Since that report spread, many on social media are convinced Rudy Giuliani and the White House have seen the Mueller report. Attorney General Barr refused to tell Congress if the White House had seen the report, making many increasingly certain a huge cover-up is underway.

So ... is this the REAL reason it's taking Bill Barr so long to redact the Mueller report?

Now they're doing a "counterreport"? Are they going to insist he's guilty? I can't keep up.

None of this makes sense though. He says he's writing a 35 or 40-page counter report, to answer Barr's report. But how can he do that if he hasn't seen the actual, unredacted report?

And, is Rudy the real reason Barr is holding this up for so long?
