Not because he didn't say what I wanted (and what do you think it is that I want?) because he said he won't go to Congress. He just spoke about the Constitution, so he should know he doesn't have the choice but to go to Congress and testify fully to what ever they ask him. He owes the country more than his statement. Like Comey, he has put himself and his "reputation" over the right thing.

He did not say he would not go before Congress, just that he doesn’t want to. I’m very confident he would comply with a subpoena.
 
Apparently Mueller is pretty much just saying read the report for my statement on the matter according to the correspondent on the CBS youtube livestream I am watching...

I agree. But, why wouldn't he? He should have said, if Congress asks I will go. He basically is saying don't subpoena me because I won't say more than what is in my report.

That’s all well and good but Congress should insist he testify in open session as well, by subpoena if necessary.

People don’t digest information by trading reports, they see it on TV or in a video. Mueller just repeating the main points of his report on tape before Congress would do a ton for public understanding of the level of criminal activity he found.

No obstruction, no collusion. I'm sorry for the witch hunt and the lack of a predicate to initiate this bogus investigation. Right?

He said essentially the exact opposite.


As a small test of your comprehension skills, how would you interpret

"If we had confidence the President did not commit a crime, we would have said so."

Your cognitive filters seem to be severely damaged. Mueller def did not say there was no obstruction. Quite the contrary.
 
Waiting for the twitter dump. Goin to be a doosey. How unhinged can you get before you just snap. Of course he may have snapped quite a while ago, but the BS has become normalized.

This really does settle the questions about Barr. He is full of shit and a Trump toadie. He (Barr) lied to everyone about Mueller's decision making on whether or not policy played any role.

My conclusion: Mueller's statement of clarification is too complex, too "wordy" for the....well, typical Trump supporter from his base to be concerned about. Those folks want to hear Trump's take on it, they want it explained to them in the simple spiteful hateful terms that Trump is so proficient at. Which means, they're not going to get the truth, facts and accurate interpretation of what Mueller expressed in his on-air statement. Nor would they ever want to if it makes Trump look bad.

Barr is going to glide right past any unscrupulous disingenuous acts he committed in support of Trump simply because it doesn't matter what he says or does so long as Trump approves of it.

This whole insane symbiotic relationship that Trump has with his base is a closed repeating loop where each feeds on the other's feelings for confirmation of "legitimacy" that's completely devoid of fact and reality.

As an aside, I'd be very interested in what Trump has to say about Mueller's statement.

Only one very tame tweet so far. basically "not enough evidence means I'm innocent". Of course that's not what Mueller said but the Trump suckers won't catch that.

It's an amazing day when the president is (falsely) bragging about how there wasn't enough evidence to convict him.
 
Don't ignore the "there were multiple, systemic efforts to interfere with our election" bit. There really needs to be more highlighting of GOP refusal to take election security seriously. I mean, real election security, not voter suppression dogwhistles.
 
Bad news for Nancy Pelosi. All the info needed to get rid of Trump is in the report but it has to be done by impeachment.

It's almost like most Republicans really had no principles to begin with and are willing to accept any aid that keeps them in political power, even that provided by America's enemies. Better Red then in the minority apparently.

I was thinking it was more like Mueller is going to show pictures and videos of Trump dressed up in blackface, wearing KKK robes embossed with swastikas while doing shots of vodka with Putin while watching hookers pee on a bed of locked up Muslim immigrants captured at the southern border. Or was that Adam Schiff that had this evidence?

Another Trumptard who didn't read the report. Try section 2, Skippy
 
One question I have is that when you say it is unfair charge a President of a crime while in office because he can't be tried and therefore can't defend himself, how fair is that to the people of the nation of which he's the President? It seems to me like a very one sided view of fairness. The one thing that would balance that out, however, would be to remove the President by impeachment and all that would tell you he should be impeached is in the report.

But I thought he was, like, totally exonerated, Man. Total witch hunt. Being frustrated & angry is a perfectly good reason to do all that obstruction of justice.
