For analyses of William Barr’s memo to Congress summarizing the Mueller’s findings along with the AG’s comments shortly before the release of the report yesterday, we give you noted document analyst and former CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather:

If you see CliffsNotes written by William Barr, I suggest you don’t trust them. Better read the original. — Dan Rather (@DanRather) April 19, 2019

Hey, he should know! Self-awareness has gone on holiday again:

You, of all people, should sit this one out Dan. — Chris Clinkinbeard (@Clinkin53) April 19, 2019

“Don’t trust what someone wrote” ? It’s probably best if you just sit this one out — FedupJersey (@FedupJersey) April 19, 2019

Dan, with your record, maybe sit this out? — Don't Fake The News And Don't Embargo It, Either. (@JaxBemused) April 19, 2019

And yet he refuses to sit it out. Courage!

Rather also served up his thoughts about “Barr’s misrepresentations” and a defense of the media against “fake news” accusations:

When Barr’s misrepresentations came out, Trump and his enablers yelled fake news and attacked the press for getting it wrong. When the real Mueller report showed the press got it largely right, Trump and his enablers yelled fake news and attacked the press for getting it wrong. — Dan Rather (@DanRather) April 19, 2019

Is this real life?

Can someone tell me if this is gaslighting? pic.twitter.com/E3HMdAOYvZ — Kris Kinder (@kris_kinder) April 19, 2019

The Godfather of Fake News strikes again.
