Well, not much is going to change after this. I don't think it was either a disaster for Democrats or a win for Republicans. According to Mueller: The investigation was not a "witch hunt" or "hoax. The Russians interfered with our election There is evidence Trump's campaign commited conspiracy with a foriegn power by meeting with members representing foriegn powers and accepting their help. Trump knew about the stolen emails before they were made public. He touted wikileaks several times before it released the emails. Trump publicly asked Russia to interfer during the election. Many members of Trump's campaign were found to have lied about said conspiracy to protect the president. Several were prosecuted. There is evidence Trump commited obstruction. Many instances in which Trump worked to stop the investigation against him. There are at least 10-11 instances of obstruction by Trump listed in Muellers report. Mueller wasn't able to interview Trump, A. Because his laywers led Mueller on for an extended time saying the interview would happen and then as they were planning all along finally said Trump would not give an interview in person. B. Mueller knew if he suponead Trump, it would go to court...eventually all the way to the Supreme court controlled by Trump who would curtail his attempts to interview Trump and it wouldn't happen anyway. C. Mueller was pressured for time, knowing Trump was putting an attorney general in place to stop the investigation in order to protect himself, and needed to finish the investigation as quick as possible, before he was shut down. Trump's written responses for his paper interview(if he even wrote them) are incomplete, misleading, and several of them have been proven to be lies as Trump has since contradicted himself. Muller called the answers untruthful. Mueller didn't determine Trump's innocence in guilt in his report. He presented evidence that shows guilt on part of the president and his staff, but has left the possibility of Trump's prosecution to the congress who could impeach him or prosecutors who could go after him once he is no longer president. This interference by Russia and conspiracy/obstruction by Trump and his staff set a dangerous precedent. Foriegn entities/countries and politicians are free to engage in such behavior without consequence. It will happen again But, again there are those of us who care and those will deny any of it (even though they know it's true, simply because they don't want to admit they are wrong, are blindly following Trump, or love to see the chaos) I don't think the Democrats will move to impeach Trump. Though, it sounds like they are going to further investigate things. I think it is very possible Trump will be prosecuted once he is no longer president, which is a key reason he is running for a second term. It is clear Trump is a liar and a criminal. He has unfortunately, used enough human shields to minimize links to himself regarding the conspiracy. Hopefully, the American people see that and vote his ass out.
He retracted a statement with this: "Now, before we go to questions, I want to go back to one thing that was said this morning by Mr. Lieu who said, and I quote, “You didn’t charge the president because of the OLC opinion.” That is not the correct way to say it. As we say in the report, and as I said at the opening, we did not reach a determination as to whether the president committed a crime." How and the hell did they not reach a determination, one way or the other? After two years and millions? He didn't do his job if he couldn't find enough evidence to summons a grand jury?
Man! That was painful to watch. Democrats gnashing teeth about the threat the to our democracy by the Russians. They( the nasty Russians!) helped the guy they detest and are desperate to find a way to nullify our version of a democratic election. The main affront attributed to the Russians is the release of information taken somehow from the DNC, Clinton's campaign, or Hillary's criminally unprotected computer. Hell I don't know that it was the Russians, Wikileaks says not??? But that really does not matter, not new for the Russians to try and it kinda embarrassing to see people wail about the affront. Shut the fuck up and fix it! Hillary and the Dems all but gave them the dirty data themselves, it did not take a scientific break through to get it. Even more to the point is they did not write the dirty detail that sunk Hillary. She and other dems authored the dirt that sunk them in the election and then fail to protect the evidence of their unworthness. They and they alone provide the information to educate the American voter that, no way should that rotten excuse be the leader of our Nation. Now the question to be answered and I suspect Barr will attempt to do so. Why the hell would the FBI start an investigation into Trump, when all the dirt that sunk Hillary came from her, and her minion. That makes no sense. Weather the Russian work her over or the Wiki gang is another matter. So dirt at the top of the US government got the investigation going into the opposition Presidential candidate for the first time in the history of our Nation. This shit can not be permitted to be repeated. Bad guys do need to go to jail. I sure hope some do. But a farce like today's sham is not going to do it.
Regardless of Trump, the Russians interfered with our election. They implemented a cyber attack against us. The helped to obtain and release emails to hurt a presidential candidate. This is nothing to joke about. It is a serious and disturbing matter. To wave it off like it's nothing is not only irresponsible but it advocates for further attacks.
If you fail to see the red flags of Trump's camp...Mannafort, etc....then you'll continue to be confused about why this all occurred.....it's pretty simple...and Trump on camera obstructed justice and through twitter practiced witness tampering....during an on going trial....those are stupid mistakes by your guy and he painted himself into that corner....consider his main diplomatic trips have been with Putin and Kim...…….he calls them nice guys. A child could connect the dots of suspicion and you should have no problem understanding how Trump has broken laws while protected by his office.....a president isn't supposed to sick the FBI on his enemies for political points....let's start there. Insulting professionals assigned duties according to our policy of due diligence is why we should vet our representatives more thoroughly....whatever you seem to need to prop up your savior of the Constitution will send you into a tizzy about his opposition. The guy just doesn't have a moral or civil compass nor does he even have a basic sense of what the Constitution represents....I won't bother to clue you in to how many times Trump has crossed the line of democracy and our values as a nation.
The nothing burger is serving....for another year and a half......Mueller said he could not go after a sitting president when this started....he's sticking to it...he also gave that special something burger that clearly points to that changing after he's no longer holding the office......it's why impeachment is a waste of time...they can deal with the Don after he's a civilian again. Tell farmers across the Midwest how these trade wars have put them on welfare....Donald Duck....he just keeps ducking...it's like dodgeball
I agree 100%...but I was also bothered when Obama was caught on a hot mic stating " he will be able to do more once his term is over" Many politicians are beholden to someone or some Companies interest.
lesson one.....don't dissect sentences....try and comprehend complete sentences.....fragmenting them just takes away the full meaning...
I got it riverman my freind! You do not like my logic. I truly do hear you, and have no desire to teach you. I know you are sincere in what you feel.
Can you provide me proof that you were telling the truth that the 4 women trump is attacking ALL took the oath with a book of Quran? If not, then the only conclusion would be to say that you were telling an "untruth" aka as a lie. You conveniently left the other discussion without answering.
What we need is to have a president that brings the country together rather than constantly making personal attacks, calling people that are Americans as the enemy, lying and all the other garbage that the last 2.5 years has brought. Deplorable is too kind of word used for trump.
