Mueller report appears likely to validate Trump claim of 'no collusion' with Russia to win election
Fox News ^ | March 24, 2019 | Hans A. von Spakovsky

While we don’t know yet what’s in the report by Special Counsel Robert Mueller on Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, many news organizations have reported on what’s not in the report – any recommendation by Mueller for further indictments.

This is very good news for President Trump and people in the Trump orbit.

Not a single one of the nearly three dozen criminal indictments Mueller has obtained in his nearly two years of investigation deal with collusion between the Trump campaign or Trump himself and Russia to win the presidential race against Hillary Clinton.

~snip~

Keep in mind that the special counsel’s report is a confidential law enforcement document similar to any internal reports prepared by prosecutors concerning a federal criminal investigation.

These are privileged documents. Under Justice Department regulations, it is up to the attorney general to decide to what extent release of the Mueller report or any parts of the report is in the public interest or can be released without compromising national security or violating executive privilege.

In the letter he sent Friday to the Senate and House committee leaders, Barr said he would be consulting with both Mueller and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to determine what information from the Mueller report could be released “consistent with the law” including the Justice Department’s “long-standing practices and policies.” Barr added that he remained committed to being as transparent as possible.

One of those policies Barr is committed to following is that the Justice Department does not release reports that make unproven allegations against the targets of a criminal investigation.

If a prosecutor decides there is insufficient evidence to warrant prosecution, the case is closed.

Commie Dems will NEVER admit they lost fair and square, which is why they want to get rid of the electoral college, etc..even though the electoral college has always favored Dems, but Dems want to get rid of EVERYTHING to make sure only THEY win

One of two things will happen as the Democrats pursue this matter: Either they will reveal their insane hostility in a way that the general public is revolted by them, or the general public will participate in the insanity. If the latter, this whole country is in big, big trouble.

I agree there are going to be that percentage of the hard left that are going to just double and triple down the matter - whatever. They’re idiots

but the great unwashed middle is going to look at this and see it for what it is and see the media for what it is and then either sit out or vote Republican and they will not vote for these possessed demonic cats

I have enough anecdotal evidence out here and super far loony left Marin county of people confiding in me that they don’t like the Democratic Party anymore or see this is all terribly unfair to Presideng and that they actually like him that I think 16 is going to be nothing compared to 20

Are great and wonderful president will win 40 plus states
