Mueller told Barr his memo failed to fully capture "context/nature/substance" of Mueller's probe

Mueller wrote no collusion

Nope. He absolutely didn't investigate a charge of collusion. The collusion he did find was not sufficient to charge Trumpybear or his campaign with a crime of conspiring with the Russian Government.
 
There is not much doubt that Barr went soft on the report, but no need for full on hissy fits. its pretty clear that honesty has lost out to party over country.
 
The take away from the latest phone call between Barr and Mueller is that Mueller agrees that Barr's summary memo is not inaccurate. There is no there there.
“The summary letter the Department sent to Congress and released to the public late in the afternoon of March 24 did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this office’s work and conclusions,” Mueller wrote. “There is now public confusion about critical aspects of the results of our investigation. This threatens to undermine a central purpose for which the Department appointed the Special Counsel: to assure full public confidence in the outcome of the investigations.”

The letter made a key request: that Barr release the 448-page report’s introductions and executive summaries, and made some initial suggested redactions for doing so, according to Justice Department officials.

Some anecdotal report about a phone call wont cut it, Mueller needs to testify.

The investigation either "charges" someone or they "don't charge". Mueller didn't charge. Period.
The political spin of all the "almost chargeable crap" would be deleted by any judge from the Mueller report.
Document the evidence, not the suspicions.

admit it.. youre too dumb to understand why Meuller turned the report over to Congress.

Dumb? I know how to spell Mueller. Also, it's you're not youre.
Mueller turned the report over to Barr, not congress. Barr gave the report to congress.
You want to post about "dumb"?

Barr intercepted the report, wrote a quick 4 page damage control memo covering Trumps fat ass, lied to suit the agenda which is obstruction, and is subject to the same end result as Nixons boy...
 
Mueller can’t charge anyone? Interesting.

Another fucking moron chimes in..........No, dickhead, the policy states that a "sitting president" cannot be charged".......where the fuck do you get that Mueller "can't charge anyone"?????........................How stupid do you want to PROVE to everyone that you surely are???
 
NO COLLUSION, NO OBSTRUCTION.


Here, eternal fuckhead

Mueller said his investigation — which he noted encountered "difficult issues" of law — did not establish the president committed an obstruction of justice, but also did not "exonerate" him.

What does that mean? Its garbage. The investigators don't "exonerate", we're all innocent until proven guilty, as the Barr memo documented. They either "charge" or "don't charge".
and if by the rules they can not charge, then it is up to Congress to set forth articles of impeachment or not.

That is the constitutional process... and if Congress does or even does not... prosecutors can charge/indict a president once he leaves office.

From what I have read on this subject, neither Jaworsky on Nixon, or Starr on Clinton, charged these presidents with crimes... they simply turned over their reports with all the information they gathered during their investigation,

and turned it over to congress... so THEY could decide if they would impeach or not.... like Mueller did by not doing the indicting himself....?

The AG under Clinton and Nixon did NOT usurp that process and jump in and exonerate those presidents, as Barr did? So why did Barr do it?

I think there are a lot of questions to be asked and answered by Mueller before their congressional hearings... and many, I am certain you would like to know the answers to as well!

Please send an email to the whitehouse, to allow Mueller to testify ASAP!

He lied to Congress. He should resign.

But hey the pseudo-cons got their head start with their lie about the report exonerating old Trumpybear. Now it's time for the truth to get sniffed out.
I truly do not understand all of this created DRAMA... not letting people testify, dishonoring subpoenas, Trump refusing to testify, not releasing the Mueller report, but releasing a 4 page summary by the AG that was SKEWED to favor the president, and out there in the public for 3 straight weeks, giving the impression that AG Barr and our Justice department is corrupt, working as the president's personal lawyer and NOT for ''we the people'' and for equality, and Justice for All...

instead on all his pressers or before congress he has come off as a partisan crony... and not fair or balanced or honest in any way....


leaving all of this speculation to run rampant...

and which of course puts all of us citizens, at each other's throats, believing 2 different things entirely!

AND THE WORST PART

is all of this absolute CHAOS and distrust between sides taking place was PLANNED by the president.... yes planned... he knew the report would come out and we would know he lied to us on no collusion no obstruction total exoneration.... yet, he did this anyway...?

He loves chaos and hatred.... he thrives on hatred. :(

I can not wait, till this divisive creep sitting in the Oval office, is gone!

Do you think they will ask Barr about prosecuting the perpetrators of the coup?

The Conspiracy Against Trump
The Deep State plot to undermine the president

And then there is the Deep State, which also worked with the Democratic Party and President Barack Obama to destroy the Trump presidency even before it began. One can define Deep State in a number of ways, ranging from a “soft” version which accepts that there is an Establishment that has certain self-serving objectives that it works collectively to promote to something harder, an actual infrastructure that meets together and connives to remove individuals and sabotage policies that it objects to. The Deep State in either version includes senior government officials, business leaders and, perhaps most importantly, the managed media, which promotes a corrupted version of “good governance” that in turn influences the public.

A review of what is already known about the plot against Trump is revealing and no doubt much more will be learned if and when investigators go through emails and phone records. The first phase of the illegal investigation of the Trump associates involved initiating wiretaps without any probable cause. This eventually involved six government intelligence and law enforcement agencies that formed a de facto task force headed by the CIA’s Director John Brennan. Also reportedly involved were the FBI’s James Comey, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Department of Homeland Security Director Jeh Johnson, and Admiral Michael Rogers who headed the National Security Agency.

So, was there a broad ranging conspiracy against Donald Trump orchestrated by many of the most senior officials and politicians in Washington? Undeniably yes. What Trump has amounted to as a leader and role model is beside the point as what evolved was undeniably a bureaucratic coup directed against a legally elected president of the United States and to a certain extent it was successful as Trump was likely forced to turn his back on his better angels and subsequently hired Pompeo, Bolton and Abrams. One can only hope that investigators dig deep into what is Washington insiders have been up to so Trumpgate will prove more interesting and informative than was Russiagate. And one also has to hope that enough highest-level heads will roll to make any interference by the Deep State in future elections unthinkable. One hopes.

The Conspiracy Against Trump

Mueller's report failed to fully capture the context: Obama spied on Trump.
When did he spy on Trump?

He started during the 2016 campaign via the FISA warrants on members of his campaign. The Horowitz and Barr investigations are going to be explosive.
Are you speaking only about the FISA warrant on Carter Page, which began AFTER Carter left the campaign, 3 weeks before the election?

Was there any one under FISA warrant surveillance in the campaign, during the Campaign?


Also, to me... 'spying' is when someone is illegally wiretapping someone... No court approval.

NOT when investigators get a surveillance WARRANT approved by a Judge in a court of Law?

What is your definition of spying?


The spying is linke to the hundreds of people unmasked by Obama's admin. The Horowitz and Barr investigations will put sunlight on the horrible corruption of Obama and his henchthugs.

1. Trump was receptive to a Campaign national security adviser’s (George Papadopoulos) pursuit of a back channel to Putin.

2. Kremlin operatives provided the Campaign a preview of the Russian plan to distribute stolen emails.

3. The Trump Campaign chairman and deputy chairman (Paul Manafort and Rick Gates) knowingly shared internal polling data and information on battleground states with a Russian spy; and the Campaign chairman worked with the Russian spy on a pro-Russia “peace” plan for Ukraine.

4. The Trump Campaign chairman periodically shared internal polling data with the Russian spy with the expectation it would be shared with Putin-linked oligarch, Oleg Deripaska.

5. Trump Campaign chairman Manafort expected Trump’s winning the presidency would mean Deripaska would want to use Manafort to advance Deripaska’s interests in the United States and elsewhere.

6. Trump Tower meeting: (1) On receiving an email offering derogatory information on Clinton coming from a Russian government official, Donald Trump Jr. “appears to have accepted that offer;” (2) members of the Campaign discussed the Trump Tower meeting beforehand; (3) Donald Trump Jr. told the Russians during the meeting that Trump could revisit the issue of the Magnitsky Act if elected.

7. A Trump Campaign official told the Special Counsel he “felt obliged to object” to a GOP Platform change on Ukraine because it contradicted Trump’s wishes; however, the investigation did not establish that Gordon was directed by Trump.

8. Russian military hackers may have followed Trump’s July 27, 2016 public statement “Russia if you’re listening …” within hours by targeting Clinton’s personal office for the first time.

9. Trump requested campaign affiliates to get Clinton’s emails, which resulted in an individual apparently acting in coordination with the Campaign claiming to have successfully contacted Russian hackers.

10. The Trump Campaign—and Trump personally—appeared to have advanced knowledge of future WikiLeaks releases.

11. The Trump Campaign coordinated campaign-related public communications based on future WikiLeaks releases.

12. Michael Cohen, on behalf of the Trump Organization, brokered a secret deal for a Trump Tower Moscow project directly involving Putin’s inner circle, at least until June 2016.

13. During the presidential transition, Jared Kushner and Eric Prince engaged in secret back channel communications with Russian agents. (1) Kushner suggested to the Russian Ambassador that they use a secure communication line from within the Russian Embassy to speak with Russian Generals; and (2) Prince and Kushner’s friend Rick Gerson conducted secret back channel meetings with a Putin agent to develop a plan for U.S.-Russian relations.

14. During the presidential transition, in coordination with other members of the Transition Team, Michael Flynn spoke with the Russian Ambassador to prevent a tit for tat Russian response to the Obama administration’s imposition of sanctions for election interference; the Russians agreed not to retaliate saying they wanted a good relationship with the incoming administration.


Trump was warned during the primaries what the Russians were doing. He was asked to report any offers of assistance in the up coming election.

Like Carlos, Trump needs to answer for that.

The problem is, that the rules and policy allowed it to be done for the key people in administrations involved with Security.

that unmasking is done in a secure SCIF for the Admin person requesting only.

From my understanding, that is how it was done, by the book.

but if Horowitz can find that a rule was broken, then the wrist of the person should be slapped that did it... or the punishment the rules state for the violation of policy should be used.

But if it turns out the rules and regs on it were not broken, but disturbing none the less, or loosey goosey, then Congress should review it and have the regulations or laws modified.

The rules were broken. This is why the Obamanoids have been so desperate to destroy Trump - to keep their crimes covered up.

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) has communicated to the Department of Justice its findings on abuse of the FISA system, according to attorney Joe diGenova, who was one of the original lawyers on the FISA court.

There will be grand juries and indictments, according to diGenova, who added, “John Brennan isn’t going to need one lawyer — he’s going to need five.”

“Their chief judge has already determined that for more than four years before the election of Donald Trump, there was an illegal spying operation (yes, spying — and, yes, illegal) going on by four FBI contractors to break the law to steal personal electronic information about American citizens and to use it against the Republican Party,” former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee wrote on his website on April 25.

Report: FISA court has investigated and notified DOJ of findings
 
“The summary letter the Department sent to Congress and released to the public late in the afternoon of March 24 did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this office’s work and conclusions,” Mueller wrote. “There is now public confusion about critical aspects of the results of our investigation.

Just a rabbit trail here.
Obama team was warned in 2014 about Russian interference

The Obama administration received multiple warnings from national security officials between 2014 and 2016 that the Kremlin was ramping up its intelligence operations and building disinformation networks it could use to disrupt the U.S. political system, according to more than half a dozen current and former officials.
There was no explicit warning of a threat to U.S. elections, but the official said some diplomats and national security officials in Moscow felt the administration was too quick to dismiss the possibility that the Kremlin incursions could reach the United States.

But others in the national security community say an overly cautious Obama White House could have done more both during the campaign and in the previous months and years to alert Russia that it was aware of its intentions to subvert the U.S. democracy — along with those of some other Western countries — and would retaliate forcefully at the first sign of Russian interference.

POLITICO spoke with more than a dozen current and former officials from across the national security spectrum, including intelligence agencies, the State Department and the Pentagon. Almost all said they were aware of Russia’s aggressive cyberespionage and disinformation campaigns — especially after the dramatic Russian attempt to hack Ukrainian elections in 2014 — but felt that either the White House or key agencies were unwilling to act forcefully to counter the Russian actions.

Why????

And then there is the Deep State, which also worked with the Democratic Party and President Barack Obama to destroy the Trump presidency even before it began. One can define Deep State in a number of ways, ranging from a “soft” version which accepts that there is an Establishment that has certain self-serving objectives that it works collectively to promote to something harder, an actual infrastructure that meets together and connives to remove individuals and sabotage policies that it objects to. The Deep State in either version includes senior government officials, business leaders and, perhaps most importantly, the managed media, which promotes a corrupted version of “good governance” that in turn influences the public.

A review of what is already known about the plot against Trump is revealing and no doubt much more will be learned if and when investigators go through emails and phone records. The first phase of the illegal investigation of the Trump associates involved initiating wiretaps without any probable cause. This eventually involved six government intelligence and law enforcement agencies that formed a de facto task force headed by the CIA’s Director John Brennan. Also reportedly involved were the FBI’s James Comey, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Department of Homeland Security Director Jeh Johnson, and Admiral Michael Rogers who headed the National Security Agency.

So, was there a broad ranging conspiracy against Donald Trump orchestrated by many of the most senior officials and politicians in Washington? Undeniably yes. What Trump has amounted to as a leader and role model is beside the point as what evolved was undeniably a bureaucratic coup directed against a legally elected president of the United States and to a certain extent it was successful as Trump was likely forced to turn his back on his better angels and subsequently hired Pompeo, Bolton and Abrams. One can only hope that investigators dig deep into what is Washington insiders have been up to so Trumpgate will prove more interesting and informative than was Russiagate. And one also has to hope that enough highest-level heads will roll to make any interference by the Deep State in future elections unthinkable. One hopes.
