In yesterday’s post I quibbled with Andrew McCarthy’s call, in an article he’d published at Fox News, for full disclosure of the Mueller report and everything else associated with the Russiagate witch-hunt. Today I listened to an interview he gave with John Batchelor on Tuesday, and I see that I had missed his point. As he explained on the Batchelor show, it is that there will be further disclosure of the special prosecutor’s case — indeed, even to have had the brief summary we’ve already been given is far more than is customary in investigations where no charges are ever to be brought — and so we should have not only the Mueller team’s official version of what they dug up on Trump & Co., but also the material that a prosecutor would normally have to give the defense in a trial. In this case that includes FISA applications, the Rosenstein scope memo, whatever documents pertain to the origination of the investigation, etc.
Mr. McCarthy is right (and so is our commenter JK). I retract my quibble. Listen to the interview, in two parts, here and here.
