Attorney General William Barr stressed Thursday during his press conference that although Special counsel Robert Mueller detailed 10 “episodes” involving actions by President Trump that might have constituted obstruction of justice, neither the DOJ, nor Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein believed those actions violated the law.
Barr said based on the evidence that Trump’s action had “non-corrupt motives.” The redacted version of Mueller’s report was released late Thursday. The very few redactions in the behemoth report show the reasons for the decisions, which were based on recommendations made by the intelligence community, DOJ and Mueller prosecutors to protect classified information, sources and methods and information pertaining to ongoing litigation.
The roughly 400 page report is what it is and now it is available for the public. After more than two years and national media consumption of every rumor possible the investigation has concluded that neither President Trump, anyone on his campaign and no American colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election.

What is left, however, are multiple chapters still left to be written. What will unfold is investigation into what historians will consider one of the greatest political ‘witch-hunts’ in U.S. history. If justice is served, those responsible will be outed and prosecuted.
Those officials who weaponized the intelligence community, approved unauthorized surveillance on American citizens based on unvalidated information and targeted a sitting president should fear the wrath of ‘lady justice.’

It’s almost as though some people don’t want anything to happen to the criminals.
Odd.
It’s almost as though some people think that if you click your heels together you can go to a magical land.
Reality is reality. Doesn’t matter what you or I want. Reality is that major pols DO NOT GET PUNISHED. You’ll live a happier life if your expectations match what’s going to happen. I knew the Clintons would get busted coming out of the White House. I knew al Gore would face nothing. I knew Hillary was never going to get locked up. I knew Obama would skate. And I’m telling now nobody associated with the Mueller report will get in any kind of trouble. Actually at least a few of them will get 7 figure book deals to “tell all”.
That’s how America works. Sorry that confuses you.
You are an idiot. Don’t take that the wrong way, you’re probably in the majority on FR these days.
The GOP hates POTUS every bit as much as the Democrats do. And because of that nothing will happen to criminal Democrats. All we can do is get him reelected. This is a political “matter” now. Sorry.
“Those responsible will be… prosecuted.” 100% true.
The thesis that “Trump had a campaign connection with Russia” is weak and false.
So I been checking out the left’s reaction today and these people appear not only to be in psychotic-break level denial, but they also have absolutely no idea that the revenge hammer is about to wreck their world in ways presently unimaginable to them.
They are completely defenseless... they do not see it coming at all.
He’s making the historical odds-on bet so I can’t blame him.
However, there’s something about this time that feels very very different to me and I am not someone eager to get my hopes up, after the number of times those hopes have been smashed and obliterated and pureed.
“What happened to the old FR spirit? Who died and replaced posters with flag waving hopeless losers?”
Part of it is pure fatigue. Hopefully they will buck up when Nunes, Horowitz et all start cutting the tape and making perp walks.
Wow! I like this Sara Carter gal better all the time.
Good article. Thanks.
Perhaps people need some background on our POTUS.
Trump: ‘I love getting even with people’

I agree.
We have a changed world-wide context.
Look at the EU. Even 2-3 years ago, who thought there would be a rise of populist administrations throughout Europe?
Brazil elected an anti-globalist, anti-PC crusader.
In the US, the prog punks went a step too far by criminalizing males, regardless of color. Many black men (and some sane black women)are repulsed by this. Hispanic men (and, again, the sane Hispanic women)are not accepting of marginalization based on gender. Jewish men have to be reconsidering their allegiances, considering all the outright antisemitism spewing from the Left.
As a Jewish woman, I have to withhold speculation on other Jewish women. I suspect they will be among the last to surrender.
And, at the very tippy-top of all of this real resistance, is Donald J. Trump, POTUS. He isn’t about to let this go. Neither are his sons. (Probably Ivanka is also out for blood, but it’s not her style to tweet about revenge. She, Melania and the wives of Jr and Eric are backing their menfolk. They’ve all been through hell.)
Look at the Department/Agency rules changes recently: no subsidized housing for illegals (and Ben Carson is not withdrawing from consideration for the Fed post) ; dump them on the sanctuary cities; cut aid to the countries sending the most illegals; no new trannies in the armed forces; no automatic free-range admission under *asylum*.
Potus, Barr, a raft of new judges at all levels, the pathetic reaction of the professional left; the scary behavior coming from the female Islamist, Palestinian and Commie in the House...the context has changed.
Most of all: the protectors of the Deep State are suddenly having to fight on multiple fronts at once. The media/entertainment complex has lost credibility, as has Big Tech. First-tier academia is exposed as pay-to-play. The curtain has been pulled back and the Great and Terrible Oz is just a bald, pot-bellied little man in a cabinet full of levers, unable to reach them all.
It’s a lovely spring morning in America.
I pray that justice will be served, but honestly, do not expect it...
Actually there was Russian Collusion but it was of the Hillary campaign via Fusion GPS and Christopher Steel.
I myself have always thought the dossier was a total product of Fusion GPS (bought and paid for by the DNC and Hillary) and Christopher Steel was just to give it legitimacy.
One must never forget that the Russian lawyer sent to Trump with supposed dirt on Hillary meet with Fusion GPS before the meeting and after the meeting. This is not a coincidence. The meeting was vital to give a reason to wiretap Trump.
The FISA court should be shut down as it is a danger to America.
I want retribution. I’ve listed the names of the conspirators here and on Facebook.
I want retribution, with extreme prejudice.

People don’t seem to see that Trump is a whole new ball game. He is not a politician, he is not one of them, but he knows them inside and outside, and has the goods on them. His mil and IC have all the stuff on them. All the surveillance that 0bola put into place is now in the hands of Trump’s mil and IC.
The bad people in the FBI and DoJ are gone.
Many, many fed judges have been put in, as Trump had many open judge positions to fill, and O’Connell has finally been filling them at a rapid pace.
Trump got 2 new SCOTUS justices, good ones. Ginsberg can’t be propped up too much longer.
Trump is hugely popular and Dems are losing voters like a boat with a huge leak in it. At Trump’s most recent rally 34% of attendees were registered Dems. Black and Hispanic voters are leaving the Dem rez in droves. Even by slanted and badly weighted polls he’s higher than 0bola was at this time, 55% popularity.
Trump studied mil history and strategy in mil academy. He is obviously a student of Sun Tzu as he clearly follows many of ST maxims, has quoted ST on twitter in the past, and uses and explains those tactics in his books.
He has said, and shown in his past, that if someone does him wrong - underhandedly, etc - he will hit back 10X harder. He will not let these people go. Not because they tried to harm him personally. No, he is doing this for the country, for the citizens of the US. He will be going after the criminals because they have tried to destroy our Republic.
Trump has sacrificed and continues to sacrifice his livelihood - his business empire, his privacy, his life that he loved, his family peace - all for us. He didn’t run for President for money, he had enough. He didn’t do it for fame; he had plenty of that. He didn’t do it for power, he had all he wanted.
He ran for president to save our country from the very criminals who tried to take him down illegally. And he will do his very best to do that, with a team of dedicated people who are on his side - our side, not the criminal elites’ side.
It is very different, see my comment just above.
The misery of the commies is part of my happiness.
Trump is not like any president before, at least not for more than 100 years.
I think you aren’t paying any attention to Trump’s character, history or what he has achieved so far, with the media, Congressvermin, politicians all over, the embeds in DC aka swamp creatures, the entire D party - all against him.
I am sure we will get that satisfaction we have waited decades for.
Now that the Mueller report is out, the DoJ will be going on the offensive. Investigations have been ongoing for a long time, criminal referrals have been made to a DoJ that will act on them (unlike the DoJ under 0bola), and there is a lot of action happening under the radar of the media.
The hunter will now be the hunted.
Thanks for posting. HOORAY Sara Carter. HOORAY President Donald J. Trump!
