Democrats did get him to confirm the most damaging elements of his findings. Under intense questioning, Mr. Mueller said the president had not been cleared of obstructing justice, nor had he been completely exonerated, as Mr. Trump has so often declared; he said that the president had been untruthful in some of his under-oath responses during the probe; and he called Mr. Trump’s encouragement of WikiLeaks “problematic,” to say the least.
WikiLeaks published emails stolen by Russian agents during the 2016 campaign, first from the Democratic National Committee, then from Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta. Mr. Trump cheered the group on repeatedly, praised its actions and urged voters to read the purloined communications.

For the life of me I can't figure out why anyone would care. Putin doesn't get a vote. Well.. I guess if there are no voter ID, he could fly over here, vote, and fly back. How would we ever know the difference?

When mass protests against Russian President Vladimir Putin erupted in Moscow in December 2011, Putin made clear who he thought was really behind them: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
With the protesters accusing Putin of having rigged recent elections, the Russian leader pointed an angry finger at Clinton, who had issued a statement sharply critical of the voting results. “She said they were dishonest and unfair,” Putin fumed in public remarks, saying that Clinton gave “a signal” to demonstrators working “with the support of the U.S. State Department” to undermine his power. “We need to safeguard ourselves from this interference in our internal affairs,” Putin declared.
As a senator in 2008, she joked about President George W. Bush’s famous line that he’d gotten a sense of Putin’s “soul,” cracking that because Putin was a KGB agent, “by definition he doesn’t have a soul.”
So I ask who do you think Putin wanted to win.
The person who has said nice things or the person he really does despise?
Because they did not really want anyone - they wanted to throw our democratic institutions into question. Stumping for Hillary certainly would not have done that - she was already presumed to have won. Their involvement would have gone unnoticed. Stumping for Trump, OTOH, did EXACTLY what they wanted as evidenced by the last 3 years. After all, Russia has been doing this for years and over many elections - this was not the first time. It was only the first time that the public noticed.
Trump Now Rewriting History to Deny Russia Wanted Him to Win in 2016
“You can speak to Putin or anybody else — nobody has been tougher on Russian than I have,” says Trump in self-refuting claim.nymag.com
Of course.....Russian stole the emails....sent them to Wikileaks to release and damage HIllary,,,,so that she would win... trump is the is the most dishonest POS in the world. The man is desperately trying to rewrite history. He has Barr removing the stench from Flynn. I am sure he has plans for Manafort and for Stone.
Anyone that supports this piece of garbage has to be brain dead.
All this as usual ignores the concept of Cui bono, who benefits?
Why would Russia want Trump as opposed to Hillary, who they know would be more pliant, and would probably gut the US fossil fuel industry, making Russia more money?

well as usual you do miss the point. The timeline was prior to the election and from Trumps comments to Hillary comments it is clear that Russian interference favored Trump. I did not say quid pro quo, I just talking about interference by a government in another governments election.
Still He meet with Putin twice and what was accomplished? Feel free to answer. It makes Putin look good on the world stage. Also Trump has said that he believe Putin that they were not involved with the interference. The 2nd secret meeting. No one knows what was discussed and why was there a meeting. The secret club of Trump and Putin just talking among themselves. Collecting all the notes of that meeting for himself. Is this the Hillary email thing but Trump just collects the notes which by law should be the government notes.
Trump has accused the Ukraine government with doing the hacking and not Russia.
From releasing American energy production, which hurts putin,
Trump has nothing to do with energy oil production as it is fracking and directional drilling that has put american on top. Now Oil production in america is slumping, But that is oil for you it goes up and then goes down.
NATO spending has gotten a little better but the below graph shows that it is not much better

Still in 2019 administrative official were saying that Trump wanted to leave NATO and threatening to do so if they did not increase spending to his satisfaction which would make Putin so happy as they are fighting among themselves. Trump should let it go. The US should just cut their spending in NATO and that would get there attention better than try to make threats.
To telling Germany to stop building the pipeline to Russia....
But it didn't stop them or tell them to stop as they are still doing it. Trump was able to stop one houston texas based company from contributing to the project but that is about all.
For their part, Germany and Russia vowed to go ahead anyway, setting the scene for another transatlantic clash.
"The [German] federal government rejects such extraterritorial sanctions. They ... represent interference in our domestic affairs," German chancellor Angela Merkel's office said on Saturday.
"Completing the project is essential for European supply security," Russia also said through its Nord Stream 2 consortium in Switzerland.
"We, together with the companies supporting the project, will work on finishing the pipeline as soon as possible," it added.

Stumping for Trump, OTOH, did EXACTLY what they wanted as evidenced by the last 3 years. After all, Russia has been doing this for years and over many elections - this was not the first time. It was only the first time that the public noticed.Trump Now Rewriting History to Deny Russia Wanted Him to Win in 2016
“You can speak to Putin or anybody else — nobody has been tougher on Russian than I have,” says Trump in self-refuting claim.
Of course.....Russian stole the emails....sent them to Wikileaks to release and damage HIllary,,,,so that she would win... trump is the is the most dishonest POS in the world. The man is desperately trying to rewrite history. He has Barr removing the stench from Flynn. I am sure he has plans for Manafort and for Stone.
Anyone that supports this piece of garbage has to be brain dead.
All this as usual ignores the concept of Cui bono, who benefits?
Why would Russia want Trump as opposed to Hillary, who they know would be more pliant, and would probably gut the US fossil fuel industry, making Russia more money?
IIRC, it was Comey that stated not only had Russia interfered but had done so in a manner that ensured we would know about it.
Personally I have STILL not seen any evidence that Russia did anything. I mean I've seen people say that various government entities said they did... But I've yet to see evidence.Trump Now Rewriting History to Deny Russia Wanted Him to Win in 2016

I need that. I don't blindly believe or disbelieve things because someone/something else says so. To me... That seems like a "brain dead" thing to do.
Edit: If you do have a link to said evidence... PLEASE... Link me. Show me where I'm wrong.
You are an idiot....trumpettes cannot stand facts or truth. They wait to see what the Dear Leader says...which is a lie....and they obediently accept his lies. You are a Sheep. trump is leading you around by the nose like the neutered farm animals that you are. trump laughs at Sheep like you. And you bend over for him every day.
Trump winning doesn't help Russia, but that lie and the race card is all they have to play.
