Now for the last question in this series of tarot queries about the Mueller report; why is Attorney General Barr refusing to share it with Americans, as all other reports of this type have been? His published comments on the report have irked the lawyers who have worked on it, and assisted in writing it, and he seems to want to distract the public from the obvious questions concerning the president and others in his family! I will use a Celtic Cross for this reading, and I will ask why it has not been shared with us, and what he is trying to hide.
We begin with the Emperor, crossed by Death!! What a beginning! The Emperor is a paternal, authoritarian figure who is ready for action. His presence is dominating, but Death is major change, over which no mortal has control! What a message! Our paternal leader with control issues has a brand new message coming to him, and he may not like it! Okay; now for the rest of the reading. Beneath this, we have the seven of cups, which gives us a foundation of deception on the part of Attorney General Barr. He would really like to make us believe that the report did not turn up anything more serious than that of which we have already been informed, and that no one else has committed a crime or should be questioned or indicted. The King of Wands, who turns up next, and also in the past, states otherwise, however. He is steadfast and honest, and begs to differ with Mr. Barr. The very best thing that can happen here, as indicated by the three of cups, for the American people, is for Mr. Barr to simply turn the whole report over. Any redactions should only be made to avoid any unordered discovery on the parts of defendants and suspects.
Mr. Barr has temporarily won an unethical victory, which is shown by the Chariot, reversed, in the place of things that will happen in the near future; however, this card also shows a lack of balance and an inability to control the situation. There is already enough information out and about concerning the Mueller report, and there are also defendants, in other countries, who have gained discovery in certain cases covered by this investigation. These defendants are unlikely to care about Mr. Barr's desire to protect Donald Trump and his children, and are very likely to leak information; especially for a price. Wouldn't it be more graceful for Barr to simply do what he would do if the president was Barrack Obama, and share the information?
In the place of fears, Mr. Barr's fears, to be exact; we have the Devil, reversed. Barr is worried that the cat is already out of the bag, so to speak. He is also reluctant to issue any decision. If he decides to share the information, he has Donald Trump on his back, and if he does not share the information, he has Congress and the Supreme Court on his back. Congress will still have to issue subpoenas and go to court, though. The ten of wands shows that he is using his power unwisely, and this card also sometimes speaks of legal or court decisions. Barr would really rather not be the one to share the report; he wants to be able to tell the president that he had to, because of a court order or a subpoena. In his hopes, we find Temperance, telling us that there will be quite a few redactions, at first. A card I pulled to clarify this is the Page of Swords. This page is often a spy, and likes to share news and messages. I am going to venture a guess that any redactions are likely to be "unredacted" by the next administration, if not before! The last card is the Hermit. This is prudence, discretion, and wise counsel. Congress will see the report first, and they will be judicious in how they present it to the American people.
Now, another short reading, to better explain what the Mueller report reveals. The attorney general would certainly never go to such great lengths to hide an investigation if no one was implicated, would he? Of course not! Another Celtic Cross reading, here.
The seven of pentacles begins this, crossed by the four of cups. When the seven of pentacles shows up in a reading, it shows that someone is either waiting for something to mature, or waiting to get paid. As it is crossed by the four of cups, which is a card of impatience and dissatisfaction, I am going to assume that payment was never received; so we have someone who was waiting for payment or money. Beneath this, in the past, we have the nine of cups, reversed. This indicates that the payment and maturity shown by the seven of pentacles never happened. Somehow, it was intercpeted. The next card, showing the more recent past, is the Devil, reversed, relating back to the first reading. A shady deal somehow fell apart, and there were aspects of this "deal" that were unlawful and possibly fraudulent. Mr. Barr does not think the American public should know about this. Crowning this, we have the Magician, reversed. Once again, we see indecision and abuse of power. This is only in the realm of possibility, though; Barr has not gotten away with it yet. In the arena of things to come, we have the Page of Pentacles. reversed. This is waste and excess, and a material loss. Has Trump, the deal-maker in chief, made a bad deal and cost his investors some money? Has he failed to pay his taxes? As for the latter, Congress can and will provide us with an answer for that.
The first card on the staff, in the place of fears, is the Sun. This card is a card of happiness and wonderful luck, and would have been much better placed in hopes, rather than fears! But here it is in Mr. Barr's fears, showing that he is very much afraid of what it best for the nation! Imagine that! The Sun shines light on everything, and that is very scary for some people who are directly affected by the Mueller report. Next, in the place of environment, we have the ace of wands, reversed. The was the cancellation and deferment of an enterprise, or a project requiring major financing. The next card, also a fear, even though it should be a hope, is the Knight of Swords. This knight often represents law enforcement or a legal decision; and in this case, it may represent legal authorities in another country, knocking at Donald Trump's door. Why would Barr want to hide that from Americans? The last card is the Hanged Man. This is a suspended decision or legal action. This could also explain why Mr. Trump wanted to run for president in the first place. He thinks that as president, he can suspend legal decision forever. Unfortunately, a very serious aspect of this is that financiers in other countries are involved, and if the United States determines that a thief or a swindler can be legally protected from his obligations, how will that affect diplomatic relations? Oh dear, oh dear....what's a spineless, Republican attorney general to do?
Ouch! I just pulled a qualifier for the Hanged Man, and got the King of Swords, reversed. This King is also often law enforcement, like the Knight of Swords, yet he is an older, more mature version; sometimes a lawyer or a judge. He falls reversed, which makes him unkindly disposed toward the...ahem....subject of the investigation. So the findings of the Mueller report are in suspense for now, but will be dynamited back to life by an angry legal person. And it appears that all of this started with money, money laundering, fraudulent dealings, and coverups about the same.
