"this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate"

[MisterBeale]

There were two parts to Mueller's report. I wonder how many folks actually took time to read just those four short pages. Take some time, just read them. Please.

There is pretty much NO argument, NONE, the debate is over, there is no conspiracy, no collusion. Can we just drop this? If you have any delusions at this point, you are just being stupid.

Now, to the second point, the reason the DNC still believes they can nail Trump if they can just get the full report released, is if, maybe, just maybe, there was a subjective opinion on whether there was an opinion on whether their was "obstruction."

It's over those lines, it was teased out, obviously to keep this going, so that the public would fight to see the report;

"while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him."

The simple fact, for those who had the decision to prosecute was probably this; If you had two years chasing shadows, if there was no crime, how on Earth can someone obstruct the investigation of a non-existent crime?

The only probably crime was a frame up. So why on Earth would they prosecute "obstruction?" of. . . nothing?

". . . . According to federal guidelines, “The Attorney General may determine that public release of these reports would be in the public interest, to the extent that release would comply with applicable legal restrictions.”


“The regulations speak of the public interest, and I can’t imagine anything more in the public interest than the release of this report,” Alonso says. “On the other hand, prosecutors generally charge people or don’t. When they don’t, they are discouraged from speaking about the evidence they had, which might have come close to being sufficient for a criminal charge, but was ultimately not.”


Alonso adds that even Barr “can’t authorize the public release of (1) Grand Jury information, or (2) classified information. I expect that, if the AG releases the report, those items would be redacted,” he says. “Additionally, some information may pertain to ongoing investigations, which could be damaged if the information were made public.”


Court TV anchor and former prosecutor and State and Federal Defense Attorney, Seema Iyer agrees. She says Barr “doesn’t have to disclose more than the summary he wrote.” But Barr can release more or all of it, if he chooses, she says, subject to redactions. “Anything redacted would be to protect witnesses, grand jury and other investigations, classified material, as well as ongoing prosecutions,” Iyer explains.


There is another way in which the full report could see the light of day. Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said in a tweet late Sunday that he would call on Barr to testify “in the near future,” intimating that the committee will use its subpoena power to obtain the full Mueller report. “Mueller could also be called to testify,” Iyer says. “This fight could go to the Supreme Court, with Congress boasting its investigative powers, and the Justice Department arguing that confidentiality must be maintained.” . . . .

Keep trying to grasp that last straw..its right there...if only we can see the full report....Barr said he will release what he can in a few weeks. But that won't be enough either. Then the dems will take it to court, then Trump wins because that's what the LAW says the dems get, period. This is even more delicious than hearing no collusion, no obstruction, the dems believe their own KoolAde, and won't let go of it.

 

[easyt65]

Hilarious. Snowflakes / traitor-defenders are suggesting Mueller and his 19 lawyers are remaining silent while Barr supposedly hijacks their final report and misrepresents their conclusion. Bwuhahahaha!

Not long ago Mueller did not hesitate to step forward to correct a false statement made about his investigation...but to hold on to their false narrative snowflakes are claiming now that Mueller is keeping quiet and letting it happen now?!

You may have taken the time to read it but you obviously didn't understand it.

There is pretty much NO argument, NONE, the debate is over, there is no conspiracy, no collusion.

Not having enough evidence to prove conspiracy beyond a reasonable doubt is not the same thing as none, fool.

I highly doubt the DNC believes "they can nail Trump" .. that's not the point of the exercise.

The point of the exercise is to cherry pick quotations from the full report and use them to convince the masses of mindless, attention deficit disorder sheeple (aka voters) that while the report didn't implicate Donny in any wrongdoing that he's guilty as sin anyways, in other words due to a "whitwash"/"cover up"/"pay off"/<fill in the blank malfeasance> Donny got away with "collusion" and obstruction.

It's a political thing, not a reason and evidence thing.

 

[BuckToothMoron]

Is this IRONY? -

Mueller summarizes no collusion by Trumpn therefore no indictment.
Democrats STILL insist there was a crime and Trump will pay.

Law enforcement has overwhelming evidence against Smollett yet all charges dropped.
Democrats say......crickets.

Bullshit.

I QUOTE;

"But as noted above, the Special Counsel did not find that the Trump campaign, or anyone associated with it, conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in these efforts, despite multiple offers from Russian-affiliated individuals to assist the Trump campaign."

IOW, NONE.

Damn you folks will not be deterred, will you?

You think the House of Representatives of the Legislative branch of government can beat up on the Attorney General, who is a part of the Executive Branch and closely associated with the Judicial Branch of government?

I seriously hope Representative Nadler takes into consideration that his proposal could violate the separation of powers statutes implied in the Constitution of the United States of America which he pledged in his Oath of Office to the House of Representatives to uphold. His saber-rattling is duly noted, however. He is a powerful man.

[Claudette]

The Dems are grasping the very last straw.

Sure hope it continue through 2019. They will be handing Trump the 2020 election.

The Dem led House sure isn't doing their party any favors. They are showing everyone what ineffectual idiots they are.

I'm wondering if they keep the House in 2020??

Should be one entertaining show to watch. LOL

 

[DGS49]

(1) Anyone who thinks that Mueller or Barr can be called in front of Congress and FORCED to release the entire Mueller Report is either lying or stupid. Can't be done. Period.

(2) Anyone saying that Mueller's inability to find evidence of collusion leaves any doubt at all about the matter is either lying or stupid, or both. Mueller interviewed, UNDER OATH and WITH PENALTIES FOR PERJURY anyone and everyone who might have had any inkling of collusion/conspiracy, and found NOTHING. IT DID NOT HAPPEN. Period.

(3) Anyone with even the slightest understanding of the facts and the relevant legal principles knows why Mueller did not pronounce a definitive conclusion on the OBSTRUCTION nonsense. IT REQUIRES KNOWING WHAT WAS GOING ON INSIDE THE PRESIDENT's HEAD, BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT! That is NOT POSSIBLE. Did Trump fire Comey to impede the "Russia Investigation," or for any of the reasons detailed in the Rosenstein memo? If it was to impede the Russia investigation, then it failed, and it might have constituted obstruction. BUT TRUMP KNEW THAT THERE WAS NO COLLUSION, so the only reason why he might have wanted to stop the investigation in its tracks was because he knew that IT WAS A WITCH-HUNT and would dog him for months on end. Which was correct! And THAT does not add up to "obstruction of justice," only obstruction of bullshit.

Now, to the second point, the reason the DNC still believes they can nail Trump if they can just get the full report released, is if, maybe, just maybe, there was a subjective opinion on whether there was an opinion on whether their was "obstruction."

It's a political thing, not a reason and evidence thing.

Well, as we saw with Hutch Starskey's post, there are folks that refuse to read it for themselves, and will have the media TELL them what to think. Thus, they will continue to think that this simple phrase had to do with, "the Russians," when, in fact, it didn't.

That phrase had nothing to do with that Russians, it was a subjective call on whether Trump was obstructing the investigation, but the media is not making this clear to the public, are they? Don't you think this is sort of on purpose?

IF the press were honest, they would make clear what this summary were really telling folks. Even the Democrats are being disingenuous, even the ones that HAVE read it.

 

[Lesh]

It’s pretty clear that

A. Barr is covering Trump’s voluminous ass. He was hired FOR that job

B. Mueller in making no determination of guilt was presenting the evidence to Congress for THEM to decide.

DOJ guidelines say that a sitting President can not be indicted. That means that whatever evidence Mueller found NEEDS to be presented to Congress. Not to Bill Barr

 

[Billy_Bob]

Mueller stated "there was no crime" This means that there can be no collusion as you must have a crime for collusion to even be considered. Mueller's statement was circular and improper. Mueller exonerated Trump with this statement, even if he didn't want too.

The Witch is dead... bury her!

You really are ignorant of the law. What Barr did is what Mueller should have done.

Exactly. Does anyone doubt that Donnie has done nefarious shit? Is there a billionaire alive today who hasn't? It is likely he has done something illegal. I doubt there is a politician or billionaire alive who hasn't.

How many Americans could have their entire life completely scrutinized, without finding something to condemn them for?
