Despite the fact that the Mueller report proved there was no collusion between Donald Trump and the Russians during the 2016 campaign, Democrats were convinced that there was more evidence out there, perhaps in the tiny fraction of the report that was redacted for national security reasons, that proved Trump actually did collude with the Russians.
It turns out that the most interesting things about Mueller's investigation were not what was redacted from the report, but what wasn't included in the first place. According to investigative reporter John Solomon, Bob Mueller hid evidence exonerating Donald Trump Jr. over the infamous Trump Tower meeting, during which Democrats were convinced he had met with a Russian lawyer to discuss dirt on Hillary Clinton.
The most scintillating information Mueller’s team ascribed to [Russian translator Anatoli] Samochornov in the report was a tidbit suggesting a hint of impropriety: The translator admitted he was offered $90,000 by the Russians to pay his legal bills, if he supported the story of Moscow attorney Natalia Veselnitskya. He declined.
But recently released FBI memos show that Samochornov, a translator trusted by the State Department and other federal agencies, provided agents far more information than was quoted by Mueller, nearly all of it exculpatory to the president’s campaign and his eldest son.
Despite learning the translator's information on July 12, 2017, just a few days after the media reported on the Trump Tower meeting, the FBI would eventually suggest Donald Trump Jr. was lying and that the event could be seminal to Russian election collusion.
Samochornov’s eyewitness account entirely debunks the media’s narrative, the FBI memos show.

But does it matter?
At this point, what difference does it make?
So it’s time to indict Meuller
< /SARC>
No, it's time to indict Andrew Weissman, who appears to have run the show. There's not much we can do to Mueller, other than cut some of his nursing home desserts. After watching him attempt to testify, I'm convinced he's out of it.
Don’t worry. Lindsey Graham (aka the King of Empty Promises) is all over this....
People should be FURIOUS about this. We endured YEARS of crap about this with endless media speculation on the Trump Tower meeting when they (FBI brass) knew all along that there was no crime or even an effort to create a crime.
We endured YEARS of “Trump colluded with wikileaks and Russia to hack the DNC” when it has now emerged that the FBI examined Seth Rich’s computer and likely know that he was the source (my best guess) and it had nothing to do with Trump or Russia, it was about Bernie. The FBI knew from the files that a person or persons directly downloaded the data so it was a person who had physical access to the servers.
Remove those two things from the news cycle and in light of the Mueller report stating no American (including Trump and his campaign) colluded and what are we left with? Two plus years of damaging a Presidency and depriving him of the full powers of his office.
Where are the indictments? Where is the justice here? Nowhere. Zip. Nada.
There’s an assisted care facility that has some vacancies in Washington we can send Mule-man to.
Yup!
“Democrats were convinced that there was more evidence out there, perhaps in the tiny fraction of the report that was redacted for national security reasons, that proved Trump actually did collude with the Russians.”
************************************************************
BS. Democrats knew full well, better than most citizens, that the entire Russian story was a totally fabricated lie. They were not “convinced” of any “evidence”. They were all in on it! They were part of the lie!! And, they played along in the hope that low info drones could be fooled into believing (not hard to do).
What a coincidence, the Deep State did it’s best to hide anything that might incriminate Hillary and company.
Mueller and co COUP PLOTTERS SHOULD be in PRISON!
The real virus is the FBI
Hang him too!
I like John Solomon but he takes forever and a day to get to the point. You couldn’t even get to the actual evidence in the very long excerpt. He needs an editor.
“After watching him attempt to testify, I’m convinced he’s out of it.”
That might be a clever act on his part.
too late, Mueller isn’t in jail.
I considered that he might have been faking it, but decided otherwise.
There were a couple of moments when he had a Biden-esque unfocused look coupled with a grumpy old man chin. Maybe a trained actor could to that, but it would take practice. He’s used to abusing others, not faking vulnerability.
Do you remember when one of the GOP senators asked him about Fusion GPS, and he vacantly replied, “I’m not familiar with that name?” I don’t think he was faking. If he was, he was very, very good.
We endured years of this precisely due to the bipartisan nature of the coup. Mueller was the tool the swamp used to hamstring POTUS and the MAGA agenda. Mueller and his police state tactics never happen without the full support of the GOP. And what are we going to do about that? Vote for Democrats?
The Mueller investigation was a cover up of the worst political scandal in US history.
