Mueller did not find the Trump campaign conspired with Russia, attorney general says
The Washington Compost ^ | 24 March 2019 5:03 PM | Devlin Barrett and Matt Zapotosky

Republicans and Democrats are anxiously awaiting the findings of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, as each side braced Sunday for a fresh burst of fighting between the White House and Congress over Russia’s election interference and the power of the presidency.

House Democrats held what they billed as an “emergency conference call” Saturday to talk strategy for the coming days. Democrats are demanding Mueller’s entire report be made public and that lawmakers be allowed to review the underlying evidence that led to his conclusions.

President Trump spent the weekend at his Florida resort, golfing and largely staying quiet on the investigation, which at times has threatened to consume his presidency — and which he has publicly labeled a “witch hunt.”

Mueller submitted a confidential report Friday to Attorney General William P. Barr, who is reviewing the document and has notified congressional leaders that he will soon send them a summary of Mueller’s “principal conclusions.” Officials have said those conclusions could be shared as early as Sunday.

While the president’s supporters are hopeful he will be vindicated by the end of Mueller’s 22-month investigation into possible conspiracy between Trump associates and the Kremlin, Democrats pledged that the investigation’s end will bring new focus to congressional inquiries aimed at the administration.

Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein huddled at the Justice Department Saturday, reading and assessing Mueller’s work alongside key advisers.

If Mueller was honest the conclusion would be “Mueller found that the entire accusation was based on a fraudulent story fabricated by President Trump’s political enemies who then enlisted the aid of corrupt employees of the Department of Justice in a brazen attempt to charge and convict him falsely”.

None of this veiled innuendo about “we didn’t find anything, so maybe he got away with it”

What’s the emergency.

When someone’s life and his friends’ lives are held under a 20 attorney, unlimited law enforcement use microscope and nothing is found, what is there to meet about?

I love Trump. Thank God he is our President. But now it is time to rip the swamp apart. The people at the top need to be put on trial and thrown in prison. There is no time to waste, indict now. Throw these scum bags in prison now!

What Mueller DID do was waste a helluva lot of money and a helluva lot of time while furnishing some government grandstander a huge ego trip.

The “Outline” headline does not match the Compost’s headline
posted on this thread.

Their headline (and the article itself says nothing of the sort in the body of it): “Republicans and Democrats brace for renewed battles over Mueller report”

Did WaPo change the headline from this posting?

I have no idea. You can open the original link in incognito mode of your browser if you want to see what they have. I included the outline link for convenience. If you don’t like it, don’t use it.

Some knew that all this was a huge waste of time and money and that nothing would come of it-—knew it from the start.

“Nah! I just wanted the chance to waste a sh*tload or time and money.”

-Mueller

Ironic that the dens have money to throw away on this crap, but can’t find spare change to build the wall.

Yes, the WaPo changed the headline in a weird wording of what the “report” did not find... according to the AG. One more “russia, russia” headline attractant. But one that wasn’t, and “what they didn’t find”. Not.. Trump no collusion, but “Trump didn’t conspire...” . And the Barr summary letter,released to Congress (4 page summary) is now being used by Nadler and Schiff to say— “we’re going to subpoena Mueller and Barr” (uh, good luck with that- there are restrictions on release of information as regards Section 6(e), referred to in Barr’s letter. Mueller can’t discuss anything about the report that isn’t released to the public or Congress. So, any hearings would be show biz, and... stupid.

“”””...Mueller’s decision to forgo a conclusion as to whether the president tried to obstruct justice struck a discordant note with current and former law enforcement officials, who pointed out that was one of the primary reasons for appointing a special counsel....””””

That

Is

Complete

Horse Shit.

You pre suppose a crime before it happened, due another phoney azz crime, which is the only way obstruction could have taken place.

How in the hell does that paragraph make sense to anyone except a child? /S

The Democrats are furious now that even with almost two years and unlimited funds, Mueller and his team of angry Democrats were unable to pin anything on Trump.

It’s obvious Trump obstructed justice because no evidence could be found of RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA collusion.

He must have hidden it.

See how easy that is?
