Full release,un-redacted release WILL happen

This report was never intended to be a trial that rendered a verdict. It’s a road map for future investigations. Plus Mueller’s team has paved that road for investigations to move forward quickly.

Just my opinion.

So let’s thank Mueller and his sterling reputation for scrupulousness, as opposed to Comey, Ken Starr, yadda yadda.

This isn’t his report.

Y’all are assuming things about Mueller based on Barr’s summary.

Where is the James Bond ending? I was promised a James Bond ending, where Barr turned out to be a plant to get the report out intact and put the cuffs on Trump, and told that I was being negative in pooh-poohing such an outcome.

So basically we didn’t exonerate the President, but we’ll leave the decision about whether he obstructed justice to his stooge William Barr.

Who immediately concluded that nope, Trump didn’t commit obstruction, innocent, bang gavel, next case.

The fact that Barr made this decision in one day shouldn’t surprise anyone, nor should the fact that it was that Trump wasn’t guilty of anything, at least not for anyone who saw his solo in the Oval Office ritual humiliation dictator-praising performance the other day:

Trump in a landslide in 2020. You read it here first. That’s why you don’t infer crimes if they haven’t been proven or you’re mo 400% you’ve got the goods. Im talking to you, Adam Schiff.

The Special Counsel’s investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. Presidential election

What the actual fuck.

This is such a cover-up, by Barr. The reason he was appointed.

So they did coordinate, but it just can’t be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that they knew who they were working with

The money quote. There’s a lot more there to see.

We still get one more chance with the upcoming elections, assuming that we are still allowed to hold them.

“while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”

While Trump will crow about their conclusions, he will be missing the meaning of that statement. Barr did an interesting weave and bob on this.

But MSNBC is discussing it clears Trump and anyone in his campaign as to colluding. I did not exactly hear it read out that way.
