mr6666 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Sarah SandersVerified account @PressSec The Special Counsel did not find any collusion and did not find any obstruction. AG Barr and DAG Rosenstein further determined there was no obstruction. The findings of the Department of Justice are a total and complete exoneration of the President of the United States.” 1:13 PM - 24 Mar 2019 ======================================= Kyle GriffinVerified account @kylegriffin1 3h3 hours ago This is not accurate. As @KatyTurNBC just stated on air, Mueller did not "not find any obstruction." Mueller didn't draw a conclusion one way or the other. Barr's letter: "While this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him." ================================= Trump Aided and Abetted Russia’s Attack. That Was Treachery. Full Stop. The scandal may not be a crime. It’s a betrayal. "....Mueller’s job was to seek out possible crimes to prosecute. It was not to evaluate actions that did not rise to the level of criminality. Nor was it his charge to tell the public the whole truth. Yet so much of the truth is already out there. And the bottom line was established before Mueller submitted his report: Trump committed what is probably the most significant political misdeed in American history. The public did not need the Mueller report to confirm this. The foundation of this scandal—Trump’s villainy—has for long resided within plain sight. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2019/03/trump-mueller-report-russia/ 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

mr6666 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 POLITICOVerified account @politico Democrats are fearful that Trump — exuberant over the conclusions of Robert Mueller’s probe — could feel emboldened to quickly pardon allies swept up in the two-year investigation ==================================== Seth AbramsonVerified account @SethAbramson 18m18 minutes ago If these potential pardons occur, it'll be because media misreported today's events and allowed a false narrative to gain stream that gave Trump the cultural capital to pardon co-conspirators. Media has about 24 hours, maybe less, to calm down and properly report today's events. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Trump will not want the Mueller report released despite what he said the other day. He says he is completely exonerated. It can only go downhill from there. Let's remember that this was not a democrat witch hunt. The Mueller investigation was created by the Republican administration and at the time the democrats in congress were completely toothless. I suspect that the Barr summary is lacking.

Last week we were talking to Secretary Pruitt, and in about two weeks we have a meeting with Secretary Zinke.

mr6666 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 FYI...... WATCH LIVE: PBS NewsHour and FRONTLINE’s joint special on the Mueller report "........Attorney General William Barr on Sunday released a summary of the special counsel’s findings, in which Mueller concluded that President Donald Trump’s campaign did not collude with Russia to interfere in the 2016 race. Mueller did not make a judgement on whether Trump obstructed justice, though Barr concluded that based on the special counsel’s report there was not enough evidence for an obstruction of justice charge. Barr’s summary raised questions about the full report, which has not yet been made public, and what it means for Trump going forward. The PBS NewsHour and FRONTLINE are partnering for special coverage tonight at 8 p.m. ET to address these concerns and more.

Man, that sounds like collusion of some kind. We need to see the Mueller report to see if there are any explanations as to how this either doesn't qualify as collusion or was it a case of simply not enough evidence for a probable conviction. And, when it comes to lying, why did Manafort, in particular, do it so much? What was he covering up? Now Trump regards him as a hero. Why? Because he lied and wouldn't talk? Wouldn't talk about what if Trump is so innocent? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
