The conclusion of the Mueller investigation has created an interesting litmus test that reveals the underlying political biases of the American public.
As with a normal litmus test, let's say the results will either turn red or blue, but in this case those colors do not signify acid or base, nor do they even signify Republican or Democrat as convention would have it, nor even truth and falsehood as distinguished by the color of the pills in "The Matrix." . What the litmus test of the Mueller report reveals is whether or not we as individuals, as political parties and as Americans have faith in our government.
No, they want to see the report for themselves ... they want to go over it with the proverbial fine-tooth comb and hunt down every inconsistency, every missing comma, every hidden clue that what they already know to be true is indeed true - that they can't trust the government, that the wool is being pulled over our eyes, that the system serves some ulterior purpose and works on behalf of someone or some group that is not us.
What the demand for transparency means at its core is that we don't trust government.
Barr has said he will get to the bottom of what happened - that he will launch an investigation into how the government decided to spy on Trump's campaign.
The only way we can make the litmus test for trust in government the same for all Americans is if we test that trust through fair investigation.
We already know we can't trust our government, so let's do the next best thing.
