This is off the top of my head as I am watching NBC cry about, er, report this as breaking news.
Mueller finds that there is no evidence that anyone in the Trump campaign or staff in any way colluded or conspired with the Russians in the 2016 election.
As to obstruction, the Mueller report presented information on both sides of the argument. Attorney General Barr and DAG Rod Rosenstein evaluated the evidence and concluded that nothing arose to the level of obstruction of justice by the President, leaving aside the debate as to whether a sitting President can be indicted or not.
democrats will of course be screaming cover up immediately and demand to the see the Grand Jury evidence, which is illegal.
It must be borne in mind that Rosenstein wrote the memo that led to Comey’s firing and then days later appointed a Special Counsel to investigate that firing and the Russian involvement.
500 search warrants, 500 witnesses. 2 1/2 years.
I am watching Chuck Todd make a tortured argument for continuing the investigation into Trump but even he realizes it’s a loser.
This was dead already, but that is not about to deter democrats.
From CBS News
Special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation “did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia” during the 2016 campaign, Attorney General William Barr wrote in a letter to lawmakers Sunday.
Mueller submitted his report on Friday, bringing an end to a nearly two-year-old investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.
Barr writes that Mueller described the facts surrounding his investigation into allegations of obstruction of justice but made no determination as to whether President Trump committed a crime. The report “does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him,” Barr quotes Mueller as writing.
Notice they left off the Ag and DAG conclusions. Fox News:
According to Barr’s letter, “The special counsel’s investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its effort” to interfere with the 2016 presidential election in that manner.
AND
The letter concluded: “After reviewing the Special Counsel’s final report on these issues… Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and I have 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.”
Now sit back and enjoy the cacophony from the left.
That stupid Nadler:
“The job of Congress is much broader than the job of the special counsel,” Nadler said. “The special counsel is looking and can only look for crimes. We have to protect the rule of law, we have to look for abuses of power, we have to look for obstructions of justice, we have to look for corruption in the exercise of power which may not be crimes.”
Well, if it’s not a crime…..
What democrats will do next will prove that their quest is not one for justice but purely one of hatred. It will be seen as persecution and will lead to Trump being re-elected.
Schadenfreude!
