You’ve already been dog walked, take the L.
This.
1. Barr releases a letter misrepresenting the report, but it creates headlines that Trump has been exonerated. Congressional Republicans can always fall back on this.
2. Barr delays the release of more info for as long as possible.
(We're here now.)
3. Barr releases something heavily redacted, and the public still doesn't have a clear picture. We're hit over the head again with #1.
4. Dems subpoena, it goes to court, etc... Trump hits them over the head with #1 and calls this a partisan witch hunt, etc, etc.
5. It doesn't matter what #5 is. If it doesn't come out, Trump wins. If it comes out, the narrative of #1 has already played for so long that the entire right wing base and a good chunk of low information infrequent voters (who need to be turned into angry voters to hold these people accountable) will already be treating the "totally exonerated" storyline as total fact. Congressional Republicans can fall back on that and protect Trump, and they will. Nothing matters.
Nothing matters.
Barr and Trump already won, it's just a matter of how it plays out from here and whether Dems can win in 2020. That's the only way Trump is getting removed from office. Even that's not 100% to remove him at this point, but that's (hopefully not) a problem for January of 2021.
