WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department declared Sunday that special counsel Robert Mueller’s long investigation did not find evidence that President Donald Trump’s campaign “conspired or coordinated” with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election, setting off celebrations of vindication by Trump and his supporters. Mueller also investigated whether Trump obstructed justice but did not come to a definitive answer.
In a four-page letter to Congress, Attorney General William Barr quoted Mueller’s report as stating it “does not exonerate” the president on obstruction. Instead, Barr said, it “sets out evidence on both sides of the question.”
Trump, in Florida, said the report proved “there was no collusion” as he has contended for many months. He also claimed it showed there was no obstruction and said it was a shame that he and the nation had to suffer through “an illegal takedown that failed.”

The very title demonstrates how ludicrous this was all along. A sore loser liberal wet dream, nothing more.
House dems will hang onto the wording on obstruction and cling to it like me clinging to a slice of pizza after not eating all day.
My question to the democrats. Did they willingly help Russia attack our democracy by pushing this lie? Or did they get duped by Russia and were too stupid to notice?
Let’s see tomorrow if this is the headline in local Newspapers across America,or if it is on page 9.
“Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and I have concluded that the evidence developed during the Special Counsel’s investigation is not sufficient to establish that the President committed and obstruction-of-justice offense. Our determination was made without regard to, and is not based on, the constitutional considerations that surround the indictment and criminal prosecution of a sitting president.”
Trumps turn now.
Wasn’t illegal anyhow.
The AP knew from the beginning there was NO russian collusion, that was all orchestrated 2 days after the election as the insurance policy for when Trump won..they could never get over the fact that their agenda failed, that Trump won
FOUR BOZOS TO COVER THIS.
Four, and not one of them has any credibility
I love the flippant attitude. “Oh well, we accused him of being Putin’s pet, but well, we were mistaken. Oh well......
Exactly..no one “Stole” the 2016 election. People went to the polls and VOTED, that simple. The only way an election can be stolen is if votes were changed from one candidate to another and that did NOT happen..the Dem emails were taken by Seth Rich who was pissed off at what the DNC had become, that is why Clinton’s people had him offed
not sufficient to establish...
house dems are reading that as they didn’t look hard enough!!
Let them chase their tails.
Trump keeps going up in the ratings because people hate persecution
Extraordinary egregious statement made on Obstruction: “while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”
The finest legal minds in our country? “THIS REPORT DOES NOT CONCLUDE THAT THE PRESIDENT COMMITTED A CRIME...” PERIOD. A person who is investigated, and where the investigative body states that they cannot conclude that the person committed a crime, THAT’S IT. INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY! ANY FOLLOW-ON STATEMENT THAT IT DOES NOT EXONERATE HIM, IS AN OFFENSE AGAINST OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM. OUTRAGEOUS!!!
“House dems will hang onto the wording on obstruction and cling to it like me clinging to a slice of pizza after not eating all day.”
Can’t have obstruction if there isn’t a crime. Not very difficult to understand. And for shiites and giggles, Trump should fire every prosecutor in the Southern District.
Southern District? My ignorance is showing.
Who/what/where would that be?
And just don’t take my pizza! :)
To Mr. Comey....No sh** Sherlock....
Alternate headline: “Witch Hunt Report: No Witches Found”
Or to borrow a phrase I saw today on the F1 thread....they’ll stick to it like dogsnot on a silk blouse.
