"this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate"

It's illegal for a prosecutor to discuss the evidence in a case when he doesn't prosecute. If he doesn't have evidence that Trump colluded or obstructed, then Trump is innocent. The law states innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

That's it, where it begins and where it ends.
 
It’s pretty clear that

A. Barr is covering Trump’s voluminous ass. He was hired FOR that job

B. Mueller in making no determination of guilt was presenting the evidence to Congress for THEM to decide.

DOJ guidelines say that a sitting President can not be indicted. That means that whatever evidence Mueller found NEEDS to be presented to Congress. Not to Bill Barr

Concerning WHAT though?

THIS IS KEY.

I have seen you, yes YOU, still make snide comments about Trump and Putin, mostly b/c you have not read this report or do not understand it's implications.

OR;

You are just a liar.


:dunno:

It's not a report. It's a memo. The AG quotes just two sentences from the Mueller report that may be hundreds if not thousands of pages. It in no way is anything other than an interpretation of two points made in a much lager report.
 
LOL.....

Just because sufficient evidence to indict was not found doesn't mean it didn't happen. Don jr. certainly was ready and eager to take a meeting predicated on the offer of Russian assistance and then lie to cover it up.

Impeachment certainly has no "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard that a criminal prosecution would.

If you read the synopsis of the report, which you obviously didn't, you would notice that mewler said that the Trump Team rebuffed several attempts by the Russians to work with them by offering such information.

So you're either a lying cocksucker or a stupid little bitch.

There were two parts to Mueller's report. I wonder how many folks actually took time to read just those four short pages. Take some time, just read them. Please.

There is pretty much NO argument, NONE, the debate is over, there is no conspiracy, no collusion. Can we just drop this? If you have any delusions at this point, you are just being stupid.

Now, to the second point, the reason the DNC still believes they can nail Trump if they can just get the full report released, is if, maybe, just maybe, there was a subjective opinion on whether there was an opinion on whether their was "obstruction."

It's over those lines, it was teased out, obviously to keep this going, so that the public would fight to see the report;

"while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him."

The simple fact, for those who had the decision to prosecute was probably this; If you had two years chasing shadows, if there was no crime, how on Earth can someone obstruct the investigation of a non-existent crime?

The only probably crime was a frame up. So why on Earth would they prosecute "obstruction?" of. . . nothing?

". . . . According to federal guidelines, “The Attorney General may determine that public release of these reports would be in the public interest, to the extent that release would comply with applicable legal restrictions.”


“The regulations speak of the public interest, and I can’t imagine anything more in the public interest than the release of this report,” Alonso says. “On the other hand, prosecutors generally charge people or don’t. When they don’t, they are discouraged from speaking about the evidence they had, which might have come close to being sufficient for a criminal charge, but was ultimately not.”


Alonso adds that even Barr “can’t authorize the public release of (1) Grand Jury information, or (2) classified information. I expect that, if the AG releases the report, those items would be redacted,” he says. “Additionally, some information may pertain to ongoing investigations, which could be damaged if the information were made public.”


Court TV anchor and former prosecutor and State and Federal Defense Attorney, Seema Iyer agrees. She says Barr “doesn’t have to disclose more than the summary he wrote.” But Barr can release more or all of it, if he chooses, she says, subject to redactions. “Anything redacted would be to protect witnesses, grand jury and other investigations, classified material, as well as ongoing prosecutions,” Iyer explains.


There is another way in which the full report could see the light of day. Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said in a tweet late Sunday that he would call on Barr to testify “in the near future,” intimating that the committee will use its subpoena power to obtain the full Mueller report. “Mueller could also be called to testify,” Iyer says. “This fight could go to the Supreme Court, with Congress boasting its investigative powers, and the Justice Department arguing that confidentiality must be maintained.” . . . .

You may have taken the time to read it but you obviously didn't understand it.

There is pretty much NO argument, NONE, the debate is over, there is no conspiracy, no collusion.

Not having enough evidence to prove conspiracy beyond a reasonable doubt is not the same thing as none, fool.


Bullshit.

I QUOTE;

"But as noted above, the Special Counsel did not find that the Trump campaign, or anyone associated with it, conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in these efforts, despite multiple offers from Russian-affiliated individuals to assist the Trump campaign."

IOW, NONE.

Damn you folks will not be deterred, will you?

That's the AG's quote. Not Mueller's, fool.
You have no idea what Mueller found.

So when the So-called President calls Hillary Clinton a criminal, he is simply lying. Correct?

Do what? I call Hillary the hildabeast. I don't give a shit what Trump calls her. She is a criminal. She conspired with Russia to set him up. We know that for a fact. No fake dossier there. That's well known, public info. Like Smollett she wasn't prosecuted not because of her innocence but because of her inside ties.

I highly doubt the DNC believes "they can nail Trump" .. that's not the point of the exercise.

The point of the exercise is to cherry pick quotations from the full report and use them to convince the masses of mindless, attention deficit disorder sheeple (aka voters) that while the report didn't implicate Donny in any wrongdoing that he's guilty as sin anyways, in other words due to a "whitwash"/"cover up"/"pay off"/<fill in the blank malfeasance> Donny got away with "collusion" and obstruction.

It's a political thing, not a reason and evidence thing.;)

Exactly. It's what the GOP does as well.
Yep... they both do it.

We need to hold both sides accountable for cherry picking detail and using those to paint a broad but false narrative or conclusion.
How can you hold them accountable when it's what "The People" clearly want? The American Public at large wants sound bytes and headlines that feed its confirmation bias, we don't want objective analysis and nuance, that takes time and effort to digest.

The chattering classes are just giving us what we say we want.... INFOTAINMENT.;)
ABSOLUTELY!


I premised this thread on a discussion of the summary of Mueller's report, only for those who would actually read the summary to comment on it.

I believe that, as a rough estimate, 20% of the folks that have commented in the thread so far, STILL have not read the link. It is only four pages.

Hell, half the first page is addresses, and the last page is only half a page. It's not really four pages, maybe three and a third? My OP is probably more boring. And yet, for those who fancy themselves political aficionados, they can't be bothered? :102:

Or he just refused to read the memo. PERIOD.

From his second response, it is clear, he thinks the entire memo on the report is just made up bullshit about it.

however, if there are no indictments to act on, then there is no crime mentioned in the report. yes, we can deduce that piece. no crime was found. Need nothing else after that. anything else is just people with a bug or two up their asses spewing nonsense.
 
Please tell me, how can you exonerate someone who has committed no crime? Duhhh.
The memo does not say no crime or no evidence. Says in the writer's opinion there is not enough to bring to trial or make formal charges. In addition, it's not the report. It's a memo voicing an opinion.
That quite some spin. They ought to hire you at MSNBC!
:113:

"In cataloguing the President's actions, many of which took place in public view, the report identifies no actions that, in our judgment, constitute obstructive conduct, had a nexus to a pending or contemplated proceeding, and were done with corrupt intent, each of which, under the Department's principles of federal prosecution guiding charging decisions, would need to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt to establish an obstruction-of -justice offense."


Department's principles of federal prosecution guiding charging decisions, would need to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt to establish an obstruction-of -justice offense."

Great. There is no such legal standard for impeachment.

Release the report!
 
She is a criminal.

LOL.

"The law states innocent until proven guilty in a court of law."

When was she convicted again?

Did they put her in that fucking cell and not tell us about it? Damn those Mutherfockers!
not necessarily. one can be a criminal and never have been prosecuted. criminal behavior implies criminal. sorry bout that. Who do cops arrest?

Agreed.

Mueller said...“…while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.” Well this statement does appear contradictory.

IMHO It's not contradictory at all …

It means insufficient evidence to warrant a conclusion of the commission of a crime and no (or insufficient) exculpatory evidence to justify exoneration.
 
Keep trying to grasp that last straw..its right there...if only we can see the full report....Barr said he will release what he can in a few weeks. But that won't be enough either. Then the dems will take it to court, then Trump wins because that's what the LAW says the dems get, period. This is even more delicious than hearing no collusion, no obstruction, the dems believe their own KoolAde, and won't let go of it.

Why does this all sound like a repeat of the Dems battle against Brett Kavenaugh?

First, all Congress people get top secret security clearances unless they fail a background check. So pretty much all of the report could be released to congress. There could be a redacted version released to the public.

Second, while there may not have been enough evidence to support criminal charges (in the opinion of the DOJ), there may be quite a lot of information that's of interest to Congress...enough to support impeachment.

ANY intelligent, politically unbiased person would find it hard to believe that there were so many meetings between Trump campaign officials and Russian agents, and that so many Trump campaign officials lied about these meetings that there was noting to lie about.

The Barr summary of Mueller's reports clearly states that Russian agents tried to set up a deal with the Trump campaign that would have constituted 'collusion'. The simple fact that these Trump campaign officials did not immediately report these overtures to the FBI is criminal in and of itself.

So, guess what! A REPUBLICAN Special Counsel and a REPUBLICAN AG writing a report about a REPUBLICAN President and his minions on whether they committed criminal acts doesn't hold a whole lot weight with Non-Republicans. Given all the facts, everyone else may reach very different conclusions.

I said so in my first post. It is you who is placing too much on what is written without seeing the report in it's entirety and within the proper context.

You have no idea of Mueller's conclusions on a number of lines of investigation.
