Ah, the old leftist playbook. When you lose, stage a protest. Or in this case, organize a march!
Not content to wait until Attorney General Barr and Robert Mueller finish redacting the report (something which legally has to be done thanks to grand jury testimony), Congressional Democrats are threatening to authorize a subpoena to get the full unredacted report on Wednesday.
But that isn’t good enough for the hard, far left. IT’S TIME TO MARCH. LEFTISTS, ASSEMBLE!

Apparently, this was not an April Fools’ Day joke.
#BREAKING: @Maddow is FIRST to report on a National Day of Action that will happen this THURSDAY, April 4, if Attorney General Barr does not release the full Mueller report and all underlying evidence to Congress by tomorrow at 11:59 p.m. ET.

Poor Rachel Maddow. She’s trying to recapture her audience after promising them Trump’s head on a platter delivered by Mueller for almost two years.

But back to this march. Unless the full unredacted report appears before the deadline tonight (not happening), Thursday is going to be a protest day, per these leftist groups.
We are calling for a National Day of Action on Thursday, April 4, to demand that Attorney General William Barr #ReleaseTheReport if he fails to meet the deadline set by Congressional leaders of Tuesday, April 2. Barr has offered an alternate timeline for a redacted version of the report—but we deserve the full report and Congressional leaders and the American people expect it now. Find an event near you and RSVP to join the local action.”
It’s possible you have signed up at Nobody Is Above the Law previously but do not see the local event you expected on this map. Please search for other events near you—or return to this site as more actions will also come online up until Thursday.”
This is the cry of desperation. This is the cry of people who were sold a bill of goods by politicians and media and can’t come to grips with reality. And House Democrats are just enabling the whole thing by planning a subpoena vote.
No one is blocking the report from being released except Barr and Mueller, and that’s because they have legal obligations. No Democrat tantrum is going to get around that. No march threat is going to change their minds. What the left wants is to scour the report with a fine-tooth comb and then toss whatever they can find at Donald Trump. They want a reason to blame him. They want Mueller to be compromised. Anything to avoid admitting that Hillary Clinton lost because she was a crappy candidate.
So, I guess there’s going to be a march on Thursday. All sane people should brace themselves accordingly.

GWB says: that will happen this THURSDAY, April 4
by tomorrow [Wednesday, April 3] at 11:59 p.m. ET
So, you’re going to schedule a “day of action!” 24 hours after your deadline? Oooooh, that’s gonna have some punch……..
before the deadline tonight
Wednesday, actually. The date on the tweet was today, and it specifies tomorrow.
the deadline set by Congressional leaders
But NOT a deadline actually set by, you know, Congress.
(And, yes, that bit says the deadline is tonight. Who’s confused here?)
we deserve the full report
No, actually, you DON’T. You don’t deserve anything but a swift boot in the arse, and to have your franchise revoked for being a toady to those who would overthrow our Republic and my freedom. And, personally, I think you deserve something other than a boot, and it should be applied at the other end of your torso.
No one is blocking the report from being released
Actually, the LAW is blocking its release. You can’t release a special prosecutor report willy-nilly by the very law the “resistance” used to justify one. You also can’t legally release grand jury testimony, at all (with some exceptions, requiring a judge – in the only case I found, it took a District Court panel).
What the left wants is to scour the report
FIFY. (If you can’t see, I struck the ‘c’ out of ‘scour’.)
Honestly, they just want to spoil it as any “evidence” that Trump did NOT do bad things.
I do have one question related to the march. Do those people count as “employed” or “un-employed”, or are they among the “not looking for work” folks? Because we know the greater chunk of these folks are getting paid for these demonstrations. How do they impact Trump’s economic resurgence?
(Those of us with real jobs don’t have much time to go to rallies on a work day.)
Dietrich says: Looks like I need to carry more of my, ahem, plumbing tools and supplies in my car and on my person for the rest of the week. More than my run-of-the-mill, everyday plumbing tools.
Darleen Click says: It isn’t just crumbs the Left mob is after … they want names of anyone in that report so they can dox, harass, threaten and destroy them regardless of innocence.
GWB says: Absolutely true.
But the Congresscritters are looking mostly to do anything they can to simply make the report unusable as a defense of Trump. Doxxing and such is gravy.
Joseph says: These people just like to march. It gives them a sense of meaning and purpose. And, hey, spring is in the air so any excuse will do. And of course the “male feminists” will be on the prowl. Watch out, ladies!

bevo says: Glad we have facial recognition. We can scan the crowd and end all welfare payments and all other government assistance to them.
Scott says: Capitol idea old chap!
Oldhawker says: And the Left continues to write President Trump’s successful reelection campaign ads.
Steve S says: This is just so that they’ll be able to claim that they were the ones who pressured the government release of the report. They need to have this documented so that their funds continue to flow to them.
