'I'm ****ed,' And Other Damning Revelations From The Mueller Report | HuffPost
The redacted report describes 10 instances in which Trump may have obstructed justice by using his authority to interfere with the special counsel’s investigation. Mueller declined to make a determination about whether the president obstructed justice.

“The Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in a sweeping and systematic fashion,” Mueller wrote. He found extensive ties between members of the Trump campaign and Russian officials. “The links included Russian offers of assistance to the campaign,” he wrote. “In some instances, the Campaign was receptive to the offer, while in other instances the Campaign officials shied away.”

But ultimately, Mueller wrote, his probe did not find that Trump campaign officials participated in an illegal conspiracy to aid Moscow’s efforts to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.

“If we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment,” the special counsel wrote. “Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”

So, does this mean Barr didn't cover anything up?

Mueller’s report shows he did wildly misrepresent the report.

wow how dishonest do you have to be?
ol yea 100%

the two paragraphs have nothing to do with each other and you for some reason left out the main conclusion from the
first paragraph that said ol yea there is no evidence that Trump or his compaign colluded with russia to interfere with the election.

geez you people can't be honest ever.

Right except for the fact that the evidence shows that others within trumps campaign did collude and Trump cannot be exonerated.

Mueller explicitly does NOT exonerate Trump on obstruction, and explicitly says CONGRESS needs to make the call, not Barr himself. Mueller quite clearly presents sufficient evidence of obstruction. Anyone other than the president would have been indicted already. Mueller considers Trump guilty of obstruction and would make that prosecutorial decision if he were allowed to.

Mueller also explicitly says there IS EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION, just not enough to conclusively show it. Furthermore, he points out that Trump’s team lied, stonewalled, and even destroyed evidence of collusion.

If you read that report and think “total exoneration” is a reasonable conclusion, you are a Trump cultist and no amount of evidence was ever going to persuade you.

Barr's summary of the Mueller report, doesn't say there was 'total exoneration', nor does it claim an absence of evidence. It was a bare bones summary intended to convey the key points while the full report was prepared for release. Quite the straw man you have created from it.

evidently you didn't read the part of the report that they said they didn't.
why do you people constantly have to be so friggen dishonest?

The exonerated part dealt with the obstruction charge not the collusion charge.
again proof you are 100% dishonest.

hey said they instead examined whether anyone associated with the Trump campaign “coordinated” with Russians, as defined by conspiracy law. “We understood coordination to require an agreement—tacit or express—between the Trump Campaign and the Russian government on election interference.”

They noted that an agreement requires two parties taking actions “informed by or responsive to the other’s actions or interests.”

Using that definition, they wrote, the investigation “did not establish” that the Trump campaign coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference.

reading is your friend you should try it sometime.

that would take some honesty and these people have proven that they have 0 of it.
it doesn't matter in what it is.

they have thrown it out the window as long as it means they get rid of trump.

in the open for everyone to see.
