The Mueller Report is Delivered

Lol at catamount premature dunking
 
A nothingburger? His investigation led to his lawyer implicating him in a crime during his guilty plea.
 
Yep, lots of POTUS are the unindicted partners in multiple felonies where his co-conspirator has pleaded guilty.

LOL. What a clown.
 
A whole lotta nada.

Turn your ire toward the press..they are the ones who got your shit all sideways.

But please resist smearing those who told you from the jump.. it seems the least you could do. So turn the hose off and give the spreader a rest.

While terrible and probably impeachable that has zero to do with collusion with the Russians, which last time I checked was the point of the investigation.

It was also obstruction of justice which dealt with the Russians.

Trump's Campaign Manager met with a Russian agent and gave him internal polling data. How isn't that collusion?

Trump took over one hundred million from Putin's bank. Do you actually think Putin wanted nothing in return?

Trump and Manafort dropped the anti-Crimea plank from the platform. Who did that benefit?

Jared tried to set up a private communications channel IN the Russian embassy to avoid being heard by the CIA and NSA. That's not collusion?

Donnie, Jr and Manafort met with a Russian agent trying to get rid of sanctions.

Trump had Sessions personally take over a money laundering case that Russians ran from Trump Tower. Over $200MILLION in money laundering, tax fraud, conspiracy and many other felonies and no one went to jail. How did that happen? Why did the AG take over a routine case?

The only people who don't know Trump is owned by Putin are blind, RW morons.
 
Also the point of the SC investigation is more than just the topic of Trump/Russian coordination.

Most importantly it’s about what the fuck happened in 2016 and how do we prevent foreign interference and foreign money from flowing into our elections. #2...it’s about whether or not Trump or anyone in his administration obstructed any of the investigations over the course of the last two years. And don’t give me that bullshit of “Well who wouldn’t obstruct an investigation if you didn’t do anything wrong?” That’s paper tiger bullshit. I’d love to see anyone on here who’s been under an actual investigation detail his/her experience undermining the investigators. That shit doesn’t fly in the real world.

And finally we get to #3, the issue of collusion. I encourage anyone who still questions this to read through the Mueller indictments or if you want cliff notes, listen to the link I’ve posted several times. There may not be anything directly tying Trump to the issue of collusion - but there is plenty of shit tying members of his campaign and family.

Fairly broad assumption to make considering the fact Cohen has proven to be a serial liar when under oath.

If the “implication” had legs it would have been pursued. As it was, it was political theatre designed to humiliate and drive poll numbers down. When Dems finally realized his support wouldn’t crater no matter the amount of outright lying in the media..well, that was when the “impeachment” train ran out of track - no traction, as it were.

No, these Democrat Media blitzes have served to cover the crime in this case — those Obama holdover- acolytes in the DOJ, FBI and State Department who participated in the aptly named “Crossfire Hurricane”. This so called investigation has revealed itself to be a 100% smear piece put together at the behest of Susan Rice and Barack Obama. Barack is the criminal in this charade as a former editor at the NY Times, Ed Klein, had it early in the game:

Dumbfounded that Donald Trump beat his hand-picked successor, Hillary Clinton, as president, former President Barack Obama and a top aide began plotting to “destroy” the president-elect around Christmas, according to a new book on Democrat efforts to undermine President Trump.

What’s more, the goal was to not just damage the Trump presidency but set the Republican president up for impeachment, according to Ed Klein’s latest from Regnery Publishing, All Out War: The Plot to Destroy Trump. It goes on sale tomorrow.

In an exclusive excerpt provided to Secrets, Klein described a "Christmastime" dinner during which national security adviser Susan Rice pushed plans to “unmask, or disclose, the names of several Trump campaign associates who were mentioned or whose conversations were captured in intelligence intercepts of Russian officials.”

Klein, a former New York Times editor who has written several insider accounts critical of the Clintons and Obamas, said that Obama knew of Rice’s efforts to disclose the names in hopes they would leak to the media and spark an investigation.

“He knew Rice wanted to encourage leaks to the Washington Post and the New York Times accusing Trump and his campaign of colluding with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the American presidential election,” Klein wrote.

“If Rice’s plot succeeded — that is, if it could be proved that Trump had colluded with Putin during the campaign or, later, if it could be proved that he had tried to prevent an investigation into such collusion — Trump would likely face charges of impeachment,” said the new Klein book.

But, he added, Obama didn’t know that his closest aide, Valerie Jarrett, was behind the plot.

Rice eventually had to testify to Congress about her actions, and denied leaking Trump campaign and associate names.

Klein does not reveal his source other than offering the source as Jarrett’s “friend.”

During the dinner, wrote Klein, first lady Michelle Obama raised concerns that the effort was clearly a political plot to “sandbag” Trump.

Rice, however, is quoted saying she was worried about national security and she referenced the leaks of Democratic National Committee emails, embarrassing to the Clinton campaign, by Russian sources. She wanted, said the book, to make sure that the alleged links to the Trump campaign and Russia became public before Trump came to office.

“She said she was afraid that once Trump got into the White House, the evidence of collusion would be covered up or destroyed,” wrote Klein.

At that point during the dinner, the former first lady, said the book, cautioned that the plot could “bite us in the ass.”

As her husband mulled Rice’s plea to unmask the names by lowering security clearances, Jarrett’s “friend” told Klein, “Most of the time he had to choose between the lesser of two evils. This was an example of such a dilemma. It was clearly unethical to use illegal leaks to sabotage Trump. But Barack could argue that it was his patriotic to duty to draw attention to the possibility that the Trump campaign had conspired with the Russians to influence the outcome of an American election.”

At point, his source said, “Valerie piped up. ‘Well,’ she said, ‘[FBI Director James] Comey thinks Susan’s on to something. He’s investigating whether the Trump campaign cooperated with the Russians. There must be something there.’”

Klein concluded, “Valerie has a sixth sense how to handle Barack and Michelle. She understood Michelle’s reservations and her desire to protect her husband, and she wanted to give Michelle a chance to vent. But Valerie left no doubt that she was in favor of Barack going along with Susan’s scheme.”

Trump “meddled” and “sought to influence” the investigation by public statements and firing comey and incited the Russians to try to meddle by “Russia if you’re listening” but no evidence that trump intentionally colluded and no obstruction of justice case can be indicted during presidency

Only people getting
CREAMED tonight are the dorks who spouted their bullshit for almost three years
First attempted
Coup in American history
Failed

Is Nedick still interested in helping us oppose Russia or is he gonna go back to the Dems previous 98 years

Communist Brennan thinks trump is a Russian spy like he is
Brennan needs to be charged with espionage and jailed

Medick has to feel like a used condom tonight
 
A SC investigation seems an appropriate response to a loyalty-demanding and highly interfering POTUS. When you are the FBI and are trying to understand the extent of Russian election meddling and if there was any coordination or conspiracy on the part of a campaign.

I think the case that this is/was principally an attempted coup seems pretty speculative.

Trump is a grade A idiot and asshole who will continue to be justifiably investigated, regardless of whatever is in Mueller’s report.

I hope.

Since the only alternative is that he somehow manages to set himself up as the dictator he clearly wishes he could be.

Unfortunately, the end of this piece is a fair summary of a lot of the difficulties being faced...


...Despite pledging transparency, Mr. Barr may be reluctant to release the part of Mr. Mueller’s report that may be of most interest: who the special counsel declined to prosecute and why, especially if Mr. Trump is on that list.

The department’s longstanding practice, with rare exceptions, is not to identify people who were merely investigative targets to avoid unfairly tainting their reputations, especially because they would have no chance to defend themselves in a court of law. Mr. Rosenstein, who has overseen Mr. Mueller’s work and may have a say in what is released, is a firm believer in that principle.

In a May 2017 letter that the president seized upon as justification for his decision to fire James B. Comey as F.B.I. director, Mr. Rosenstein severely criticized Mr. Comey for announcing during the previous year that Hillary Clinton, then a presidential candidate, would not be charged with a crime for mishandling classified information as secretary of state. Releasing “derogatory information about the subject of a declined criminal investigation,” Mr. Rosenstein wrote, is “a textbook example of what federal prosecutors and agents are taught not to do.”

Weighing that principle against the public’s right to know is even more fraught in the president’s case. If Mr. Mueller declined to pursue criminal charges against Mr. Trump, he might have been guided not by lack of evidence, but by the Justice Department’s legal opinions that a sitting president cannot be indicted. The department’s Office of Legal Counsel has repeatedly advised that the stigma and burden of being under prosecution would damage the president’s ability to lead.

Representative Jerrold Nadler, Democrat of New York and the head of the House Judiciary Committee, has argued that the department’s view that presidents are protected from prosecution makes it all the more important for the public to see Mr. Mueller’s report.

“To maintain that a sitting president cannot be indicted, and then to withhold evidence of wrongdoing from Congress because the president cannot be charged, is to convert D.O.J. policy into the means for a cover-up,” he said before the House approved its nonbinding resolution to disclose the special counsel’s findings.

Some predict that any disclosures from Mr. Mueller’s report will satisfy neither Mr. Trump’s critics nor his defenders, especially given the public’s high expectations for answers. A Washington Post-Schar School poll in February illustrated the sharp divide in public opinion: It found that of those surveyed, most Republicans did not believe evidence of crimes that Mr. Mueller’s team had already proved in court, while most Democrats believed he had proved crimes that he had not even claimed.
 
Someone needs to just release the whole unedited complete report pentagon papers style.
