You mean the half dozen or so felonies committed by the president that the report details?

You do realize if Trump were not the president he would be heading to prison for those, right?
Michael Cohen is in jail today for carrying out orders from individual #1. The order is just as serious as the crime.

The Progresshevik drones are still not capable of accepting the facts about the "Trump-Russia Collusion" investigation.
Do you really believe this?

If so, how do you explain the 10 acts of obstruction of justice detailed in the investigation report?

The truth that multiple people have been indicted, pled guilty, still face trial, have gone to jail, have paid millions in fines, that the president obstructed the investigation but was not indicted only because he is the president?

What other truth isn’t being accepted?

You know I've sometimes thought that people like Brandonbull are like, reverse trolls. Making easily disprovable statements constantly that permit people to post the accurate answer/response in order to keep it in the public eye. Like a political version of posting wrong information/answers on /r/math to get a bunch of 'ackshewally' responses.

@brandonbull, I personally salute you for working so hard to ensure the truth comes out. o7

To traitors to our country like Brandon, a simple fuckofftroll will suffice. When do they start going back to where they came from...

Thanks for the credit. Somebody has to be the watchdog around here.

I went back to where I'm from, got the facts right and returned. You know, like what Trump told the racist buffoons to do.

You got the facts from your asshole again! Congrats! I always figured you for a butt baby... That upper lip smell... totally explained now... It'll be easy to round you guys up and deport you back to the assholes you came from then. Because you no longer belong in our great Country... We left England to get away from people like you...

Trump broke the law as stated in the Report and I note you select one aspect of the findings, ignoring the rest as Barr did. Nevertheless, Glenn1 has a point where it would be the AG's decision as to whether to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate himself and it is he who would determine the outcome. Since this is the case I went with "no". It would be like asking the Nazi party to try itself at the Hague and a waste of time to even ask. The Dems pretty much did themselves in by killing the laws that allowed Congressional investigations such as done for Nixon and Clinton. Instead of killing the ability of Congress to deal directly with real issues they simply killed it. Instead, they should have limited the circumstances that trigger a special counsel. Nope. Now the only way that legal consequences can happen is if the fox prosecutes itself for raiding the hen house. Foolishness.

So, uhh, Trump's malfeasance & Barr's lying & obstruction are the fault of the Dems from 20 years ago? Did the GOP not control both branches of the legislature at the time?

Let me predict/summarize all republican responses: "I need to know more before an investigation begins" will quickly morph into "there isn't enough evidence to begin an investigation--oh and it's illegal to obtain or examine that evidence in the first place."

Are you being reflexively or naturally obtuse?
