Lawmakers on Capitol Hill have received a four-page letter from Attorney General William Barr which concludes that “The Special Counsel’s investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 Presidential election.”

Of course, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) – who chairs the House Judiciary Committee (and has already fired up the post-Mueller “witch hunt”) notes that “while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”
“The Special Counsel states that ‘while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.’”

As far as Obstruction – Mueller has left it to the Attorney General to “determine whether the conduct described in the report constitutes a crime.”
ON obstruction Mueller leave it to the Attorney General to "determine whether the conduct described in the report constitutes a crime" This opens the door to Dems to pursue

Except – Barr sees no obstruction – writing in conjunction with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein that they “concluded that the evidence developed during the Special Counsel’s investigation is not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense.”
Mueller’s team of approximately 40 FBI agents issued over 2,800 subpoenas, executed “nearly 500 search warrants,” and “obtained over 230 orders for communication records. They also issued 13 requests to foreign governments for evidence and interviewed approximately 500 witnesses.
McCarthyism 2.0 ends with a whimper after:
-40 agents
-2,800 subpoenas
-500 search warrants
-500 witnesses
-230 communication records… found zero evidence of "collusion" and AG says the "report identifies no actions that in our judgement constitutes obstructive conduct."

While the full report could include damaging elements which don’t rise to the level of criminal charges, Trump is certainly projecting the “all clear,” tweeting on Sunday “Good Morning, Have A Great Day” – after hitting the links with musician Kid Rock on Saturday at Trump International Golf Club.
Good Morning, Have A Great Day!

Both Democrats and Republicans have called for the full public release of the long-awaited report, which notably did not include any new indictments – which sent Democrats into fits over the weekend as Republicans celebrated what appears to be a big win.
On Saturday, 18 state attorneys general joined together to urge the Justice Department to publicly release the final report.
“As the top law officers in states across the country, we strongly urge United States Attorney General Barr to immediately make public the findings of the Mueller investigation,” reads the statement. “The American people deserve to know the truth.”

It’s likely that Democrats want to see the entire report in order to pick up on any wrongdoing that may have occurred, yet did not rise to the level of a chargeable offense.
Reason for Republicans not to celebrate: Mueller report could include evidence that many voters would find damning but still conclude it was unlikely prosecutors could convince a jury of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Therefore, no further action.

While Mueller apparently did not find anything else that rose to the level of a prosecutable crime (or has handed off aspects of the investigation to federal prosecutors), journalist Paul Sperry notes that the Special Counsel investigation also failed to yield any indictments on the left.
Mueller found no fire to all the smoke collectively created by McCabe, Comey, Yates, Ohr, Page, Strzok, Brennan, Clapper, Schiff, Warner, Simpson, Steele, Jones, Winer, Shearer, Blumenthal, Sussman,Elias, Mook, Palmieri, Podesta & most of all, Hillary, who now must own her defeat

Democrats, meanwhile, are still holding out for the “fat lady” to sing based on the notion that aspects of the investigation were handed over to New York prosecutors.

Even without knowing what's in Mueller report, some on left are discounting it–Mueller was never main attraction, real action is Southern District of New York. But will they look at unprecedented SDNY action and ask, is this how things should be done? https://t.co/2txSIdcIPq pic.twitter.com/jI6n2rT27b

The only question – where will the left move the goal posts when this is all said and done?
hah…. cool… democ-RATS motherfckrs…. now next is Killary
ignorance in this case as the one you have, it is not a blessing. Stop been a political animal and try use the grey matter, if you have any, between your ears kid.
Just as with the Brexit farce in the UK, Russiagate has shown the self-serving corrupt politicians for what they truly are, and I think the rate at which western populations are waking up to this reality is accelerating as a result (and for that we can be grateful). The sooner the anglozionist empire collapses the sooner the corrupt institutions can be dismantled and the occupants finally made accountable. Where’s my yellow vest !
With all the fishing expedition and side indictments on Trump’s circle, it is surprising to see that Mueller stuck only to the Russian collusion issue. I feel that we’ve all been played by the Trump-Mueller show. Lol And i pity the ones who got loads of charges as they were used as a distracting goat
Here is the ticking time bomb from the report. It is easily overlooked.
“During the course of his investigation, the Special Counsel also referred several matters to other offices for further action.”
This has just been a media stunt to distact the American public from important matters, like how shit their economy really is and how their taxes are being waste in wars for Israel.
Hey Sadaam, remember how you had the most powerful military in the Middle East during the Gulf War (1991) and Invasion of Iraq (2003)? Then howcome the US Military literally defeated you into submission in less than 6 months during 1991? And invaded and toppled your government in less than 2 months in 2003? :D Literally the entire Iraq Army surrendered in both wars. You were simply no match for a modern military force like America, and still aren’t
Mainly Agree, but the 6 trillion dollars could have been used in a better way, to the real benefit of the american citizens.
Gulf War Losses (6 months) US Military: 292 soldiers, 60 tanks/apcs Iraqi Army: 50,000 soldiers, 8000 tanks/apcs Iraqi Invasion losses (1 month) US Military: 192 soldiers, 10 tanks Iraqi Army: 35-45,000 soldiers, thousands of tanks/apcs Conclusion: US Military is the strongest in the world
You loser are active also here, rocketnose? xDD
Ofcourse, it is the strongest when it is war with a weak adversary. Hey, the Russians are too arrogant for my linking, CAN USA DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT? NO, IT WILL BE A BLOODY NOSE FOR US OF A.
You kiss USA asses most of the time. And what is even more pathetic, you are USRAEL SERVICE.
Are you owner of Oil company? if you are not, better remove your pathetic “supremacist” aggressor and hypocrite ass.
Just pointing out how a seeming “Invincible Most powerful Arab Army of 700,000 soldiers strong” Got completely whacked twice in less than 6 months, losing a combined 100,000+ soldiers and losing over 10,000 rusty T-72/T-62/T-55/BTRS/BRDMS
Mueller have not been digging deep enough. The golden shower story is also missing in the report. The Trump team is said to have showed a video film to Mueller about JFK where JFK was shot from a complete new angle never seen before. Hereafter Mueller broke down and removed Trump´s golden shower scene from the files. That means Democrats, liberals and those we must not name, could walk around in a political desert the next 40 years.
of course there is no russian gate. Now trumpet is on his knees sucking zionist c*ck and beside the stunt with jerusalem, is recognizing also golan as israeli territory, among other things, is about to become the perfect zionist puppet for the job.
As I’ve said for almost 3 years, this whole collusion story was a LIE and fabrication. Plain and simple. Trump was chosen not only by the American People, but by God himself to protect the nation, defend our greatest ally Israel, and bring peace and stability to the entire world! MAGA!
As if we all didn’t know this two years ago……
